I said this to my non-anime watching friend as a joke and my husband actually edited it into the format, so here is my hot take on anime.

non-black users using the blacksky.app handle is a bannable offense

BUT non-black users are welcome to join the blacksky SERVERS (not the blacksky feed) under either "myatproto.social" or "cryptoanarchy.network" handles

Also, it is my professional opinion that learning how to tell when (and why, and how) people were lying in primary sources is the most important part of a historian's training & education. I spent years working on this for the Spanish colonial context

Random question for #Skystorians who know this sort of thing: How common was it for slaveowners to lie on manumission letters/papers in the antebellum US?

This is just the hard transition from the Honeymoon phase to the "We're mallrats in a mall that hates us" phase. We don't leave because security wants us to leave, they can eat a dick. We leave when the Hot Topic and Sarku Japan close

"it might be conscious but unable to express it! You can't know."
O-kay... That sounds like you are trying to argue for existence of a soul. Why have you never argued this for animals or other objects that didn't have multibillion dollar marketing campaigns?

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

i think bluesky needs to decide what they're making. if they're making a protocol, like some of their developers say, they should shut down the social media app that's causing them so many problems. if they're making a social media app, they have to engage with it like adults.

and scene

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.
