People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I will never be doing this again, though my logic at the time was "fancy European restaurants serve coffee after dinner all the time"

I did, in fact, make the bad decision and kinda hoped the alcohol would win out over the expresso for sleep time.

Instead it felt like one section of my brain was WIRED the entire night and the other section was asleep. I can't tell how I actually slept.

Waitress: My favorite dessert here is the salted caramel ice cream where we pour expresso over it and you dip freshly baked cookies into it.

Me after drinking one cocktail: Oooooo.

Good Decisions Braincell: Don't do it. Its 6:45pm. You are going to be wired.

Bad Decisions Braincell: but COOKIES!

Due to recent trolling by the Bluesky CEO, I finally decided to try out another server - namely the myatproto.social server offered to non-Black users by Blacksky. Followed the transfer instructions below and it went fine! (Had to use my DID id instead of my username, but other than that, all good!)

Listen. If you didn't want to be seen as the Twitter escape pod, you shouldn't have deliberately fostered a community of people so united by their contempt for arbitrary authority and love of absolute free speech that they were willing to abandon a platform they'd been using for 15 years

Moros is extremely attractive.

Screenshot of Moros from Supergiant's Hades 2, looking more pleased and extremely fine.

I was about to open Hades 1 and try to get the Family Reunion ending until I remembered I got it on the epic games store and just watched the ending on youtube instead.

I have been in some form of crunch since May of last year and I kinda feel like if I keep doing it, they will just expect me to work like this forever, and I just don't wanna!!!!

Tiergan Vashir - Hiatus'd by Capitalism @tierganvashir.bsky.social · 5d

I'm slowly reaching the point where I might give less of a fuck about work and just do art and stuff again. If they lay me off or something, so be it.
