I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Not being shitty about people’s bodies is literally the lowest bar and the number of people who cannot wait to grab a spade to shovel under it, I just cannot.

I think we need to make a really sharp divide in our hearts between people who we'll encourage if they're standing outside the tent, doing damage to the other side, and people who get invited inside when they still have their knives out for the folks who are already here.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

so you see that watermark on the photo? That means the person who took the photo didn't want someone to use it without buying a cheap ass license. But some lazy as fuck atheist just stole to make this meme and it's being shared broadly because no one gives a fuck about IP unless it's their own.

He's a perfect candidate but he has a Dave Matthews Band tattoo.

Cup of tea; twenty minutes to kill. You know what that means: #Storytime. (New followers, this is when I write a story on Bluesky, from scratch: and it always starts like this:)
There is a story the bees used to tell, which makes it hard to disbelieve.

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

I went to the Broadview ICE detention center this afternoon/evening. The first 2 hours were pretty quiet. Several dozen protesters & occasionally some Fascism Enjoyers who shouted things but mostly lowkey. But then a violent Christofascist biker rolled up & that was not good. Everyone is OK. Thread:

Gavin Newsom is a transphobe "show me the evidence" thread, for all those Vote Blue No Matter Who posters in your replies.
