www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... interesting that existential risks headlines seem to increase people's concern about immediate harms, and even seem to do so a little more than immediate harms headlines. they didn't test presenting now and later risks at once, but I'd guess that's even more effect size?

"imagine a lady, perhaps one sitting in her house. if she looked around, she might see her furniture - perhaps nice, if she loved antique furniture. She could ponder the painting that might be on her wall, as she sits in her rocking chair. 'Charles', she might say if she had a cat, 'get down!'"
what if you wrote fiction in a way that made the statements not literally false. imagine writing a story that, all the way through, is written in the hypothetical tense

or at least, lies (falsehood with intent to decieve) and fiction (falsehood with intent to clearly mark things aesthetically as art) are both falsehoods

@zenorogue.bsky.social I've been modding hyperrogue to make lands have a graph of allowlisted preferred connections, and remove (ish) crossroads, so it actually takes some directed walking to find other lands. I might post this

Adds quick buttons for weblink, mute, and block, directly on posts, always visible, not even hidden in the post dropdown menu. Also adds a link to clearsky from the three-dot menu on profiles. Tested ...

this is a work in progress thing to get the entire bluesky stack running fully self hosted, it looks like it's within throwing distance of working but isn't there yet github.com/itaru2622/bl.... need to get it a lot more attention, imo. #atdev #atproto

A while ago I figured out that they want you to go outside with them and hang out.
When they immediately want to come back inside, it's because they're coming back for you.

muted word lists: I mute words and phrases which are emotion activating, typically without suggesting any practical actions. I think doing that makes things healthier.
