Several people I follow are following Jennbudd. There are enough real women being kidnapped by ICE without having to fake it for attention.

(So many people saying "It's no big deal, it's obvious" except there are people falling for it.)

this person posted an AI video (the reporter has three arms, for a start) and then turned off comments when people pointed it out, so i have to insist everybody block them. block this account right now and i'll give you a thumbs up in your mind

Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

Genuine question: does Lecornu now count as a two-term prime minister? Or is it still one term, just one with a… reading week?

In the 90's, there was one random Anne Rice or Dean Koontz within 3 meters of you, no matter where you were. They were what you had nearby to read, so you read em.

The Northern Lights flexi cubes are some of my favorites! These make an amazing sound as you fiddle with them, and the colors are beautiful! (Also each cube gradient starts & stops in a different place, so you'll get a unique look!)

thebrokencircle.etsy...

A flexible cube made out of 144 small tall pillars that can slide against each other to make the cube flexible! This one is called Northern Lights.

The Northern Lights flexi cube is a gradient that starts with pale green, goes to darker green, then light blue, dark blue, dark pink, light pink, and back to pale green.

The Questionable Authority @questauthority.bsky.social · 18h

OK, so here's why this probably isn't "legal bullshit."* And also a quick reminder that not all law is American law, and the law where you live and do business matters.

*I'm not going to opine on whether GW *should* take action; this is about their legal claims.

Hate Wanks: Attorney at Law @guyver3x.bsky.social · 1d

So GW are pulling their legal bullshit with a creator on some immensely spurious grounds.

They are arguing that even not similar models are unfair competition because they're compatible with their games...

And as you say, with a good actor it's easier to just immerse yourself in it, and avoid all that.

Jack - Oi, Shiny! @oishinythings.bsky.social · 15h

And I've known people get so hung up on missing one word or reference that next thing, it's 3 paragraphs later and they're drowning, instead of letting that one word go and getting the gist of it.

I didn't realise until later how rare our teacher was - we studied Midsummer Night's Dream in yr8 (12/13) and she had us get up an act out an episode of Jerry Springer about it, untangling all the relationship drama. (A few keen people as the main characters, the rest as the audience asking Qs.)

Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists.

We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still.

Archaeologists 🥺

Tumblr had to put out a PSA about the "I accidentally reported your account, come talk to me on Discord about it!" scam. I've seen it on Tumblr, here, Minecraft.

It's usually coming from hacked accounts so if you know the person outside and can say "Hey you got hacked", do, otherwise just block.

Had a comment on the update saying they thought the game was abandonware, and I tried to find the nicest way to say it's a three year old game and I have other games I want to make with my finite lifespan

The comment at the top says "excuse me? Thought this was abandonware, glad to know the devs are alive (thumbs up emoji)". The following comment by me says "I mean it's a single player, non-live service game and it's just me as the sole developer. I've got other games to make so updates are rare and come when I have time to kill between projects now that it's three years post-release lol".
