Queer people and furries made bluesky what it is today and don't you ever let them forget it.

I'd say autoblocking AI slop peddlers is all the conversation I need to have with them. Makes my opinion pretty fucking clear. If they're not listening to that extremely definitive action, oh well.

Some things aren't negotiable, my guy.

"Do not fucking talk to me, ever" is all I want to say.

Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform.

Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.

Margaret Mitchell, who was famously fired from Google after co-authoring the seminal "Stochastic Parrots" paper, has been posting on X lately because she is caught up in mass blocklists of AI industry people on Bluesky, making the platform borderline unusable for her.

Here she's on X quote-tweeting fellow AI ethics researcher Giada Pistilli, who is in the same boat.

Pistilli said: I really wanted 🦋 to work, but it looks like I’m on the worst block lists out there. Oh, well.

Mitchell said: I think what many 🦋 Bsky users may be overlooking is that they’re blocking people in positions of influence *who want to listen to them*. As someone influentialish in AI ethics, it’s important for me to know what creators, critics, Luddites, etc., are thinking and seeing.

Mitchell added in a second post: I’m an advocate in tech directly aligned with a lot of their values in the very spaces where decisions that affect them are being made. I need the stats, articles, hot takes…all the deets they can give me so I can be prepared when talking to regulators,academics, techies, etc

I lived during the peak of our civilization, when we could have green ketchup. Then 9-11 happened and now everything is white or tan and nothing else.

Finished Clevatess S1 and I thought it was very good. It has kind of an 80s anime vibe. Highly recommend.

Of course and I love her.

Peacemaker S2 was so good and I liked it a lot, but I heard there will be no S3 and I can't believe they are leaving it like THAT.

"It's just simple biology" to someone like mean means they didn't learn any beyond middle school.

Ah, it's that time again...

Joseph Scrimshaw tweet from 2022:

"Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, 'What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is.'

And my stove is left blinking and screaming, 'IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!' "

I'm waiting around for Unbreakable X-men #2 like I'm in an abusive relationship.

There's a lot of movies and games that can't possibly fit all the story into it. I haven't heard anyone complain about the Star Wars novels, for example. There are simply too many characters, but the story is there, if people are willing to look. Most of the people who complain skip the quest text.

🦇 Happy Halloween! 🦇
Do something strange and spooky today!

"Abyssal Ritual"
Oil on panel for @hitpointpress.bsky.social

Oil painting in dark teal and bright orange. The painting is of a dark forest with craggy trees. In the center there is a large glowing orange pit opening in the forest floor with strange bat-like creatures coming out. A girl in a flowing dress hovers over the glowing hole in a witchy pose. It looks like they're all having a pretty good spooky time.

Playing through Legion Remix after reading the Sylvanas novel has me more convinced than ever that anyone that claimed retcon just wasn't paying attention. #WoW

Thank you for commissioning me!

✧ #SogCatArt #Commission #Art #FurryArt #DnDArt #FantasyArt #Mouse

A green eyed grey mouse in a forest with a very big hammer swinging it towards the viewer. He's dressed in a golden armor and light brown gambeson as rune carvings all over his equipment glow a strong blue color. His red cape flows in the wind and you can kinda see the symbol he has on the back of it.
LOOK HOW CUTE THIS LIL GUY IS OMG
