The photo has existed on the internet since at least 2013.

It’s more than 12 years old.

These are Toronto police uniforms, not Portland.

Blacksky is expediting investment into creating an alternative app view soon.

I’m looking into moving my PDS over once that work is complete. I do *NOT* trust the leadership of Bluesky and wish to isolate myself from their reach. Definitely will setup a regular donation if I can.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

So do you follow the Heritage Foundation to endorse them, or because you’re just looking at their content?

This is a distinction without a difference. You’re the COO of Bluesky. Who you follow here matters and establishes the tone for what this company stands for.

It’s not guy. Pedantic is overcorrecting a technicality despite how the meaning of your words hasn’t changed or how people understand your words.

You just flat out were wrong. You said “fake video” when it’s a real clip from a livestream.

That’s not pedantic, you made it mistake. Or lied.

The vast majority of the game doesn’t require motion controls and this is for bonus stars.

I wouldn’t put off playing these games if that’s the only hang up.

It should be so much easier for love and compassion to succeed in the world over hate and cruelty, if it weren't for the fact that money prospers under hate.

The entire Cracker Barrel “controversy” was shown to have been primarily driven by bots and amplified by right wing reactionaries.

All of this outrage is fake. We’re being propagandized into believing something exists that doesn’t. They just move onto the next thing when one doesn’t stick.

Libs of Tiktok, Elon Musk, and Robbie Starbuck put everything they had into trying to push a boycott of Netflix over LGBTQ characters in their shows.

Netflix ignored them and the stock is back up. Turns out bots don't actually cancel accounts.

Electric bicycles, and shared electric bicycles in particular, are a revolutionary transportation technology. Forward-looking cities should be building out the infrastructure necessary to make cycling safe and convenient for everyone who wants to do it.

…maybe you should work on that so that it DOESN’T do that?

Are you suggesting you have no idea how your own filters work or have no ability to fix them?

Buddy we continually raise the issue because you subsequently banned both the bot and the creator herself. The bot posted publicity available information (likes) that your own website plainly states is public.

You have yet to explain why you did that or under what grounds.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I have an outstanding order from June that’s due to ship late next month from Japan.

Deathly afraid I’m going to miss some esoteric email from customs or the shipping center and have the entire thing cancelled.
