Just a heads up with all the Christmas markets and fairs on at the moment - if you see art or art-based pieces for sale, ask who the artist is, because the amount of people deceptively slapping "made locally" on pieces locally farted out by their computer and a genAI prompt is getting depressing

And if you are not following @emptywheel.bsky.social and are looking for astute analysis on what's at stake in the US with regards national security and civil liberties, you really ought to be.
Having fun on Xitter with the MAGAts who think they're clever by exposing someone who lists her location as "The original Limerick" (and who sports an EU flag right next to her Statue of Liberty) as living in Ireland.
They've busted me!

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.
