good luck having a timeline free of sports though.

(mostly just kidding, i'm happy sports folks are connecting on here, and glad bsky has some live event juice)

My weekly plea to tell your apolitical sports-enjoying buddies to stop using X and come to Bluesky. Tell them sports are here, major accounts, endless sports videos and highlights and stats and all that. Tell them they can have a timeline free of politics if they want. Just get them here.

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 8d

yep, seconding all of this.

this leans way too close to "llms are just autocomplete" for my liking, and also conflates chatbots and the llms that power them. writers *should* be careful about saying llms "know" anything, for sure, but they'd be just as wrong nowadays saying chatbots are only autocompleting from training data.

ACTUALLY Y NOT SPLIT EACH SHOT INTO A MILLION SEPARATE SHOTS? MICRODOSE YOUR CHILDREN ON MEASLES. VISIT THE PEDIATRICIAN DAILY, FOREVER. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, JUST CONSTANT TINY SHOTS OF VACCINE BECAUSE A HUMAN LEATHERY CODPIECE SAID ITS "SAFE"! KIDS LOVE MY "MORE SHOTS" PLAN.

complete batshit insanity

Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

we've got this happening out here in the town of ontario board race as well. i really don't understand how/why a democrat would accept that endorsement... it's a big red flag for me.

it's the scene from _the last of us where bill finds frank in one of his traps, asks if he's armed, and frank takes a long time to say "no". two frames are shown, on the left is bill "why did you take so long to answer", on the right is frank "i don't know. i thought about lying for some reason".

Lots of folks showed up for #NoKings in Newark, NY. Maybe 650 according to the organizers. Mostly chill. A few truck chuds making vroom vrooms in traffic.

Gaggles of people on a street corner, w/ signs and flags and a car driving past.

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

Brian Boucheron @beardic.us · 26d

who believes this nonsense? WHERE IS THE PLAN? it has been *decades* now since republicans started saying they would replace the ACA with a better plan. WHAT IS THE PLAN?

I am on a budget billing plan with RG&E until next spring at which point I'm sure I will have an eye-popping settle-up bill. @schumer.senate.gov please enquire as to why the president is cancelling energy projects and driving up electricity costs. I even give you permission to cuss about this.

Peter Butler @peter-butler.bsky.social · 28d

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

Interesting that "Democrats" blocked the Republican bill, but "lawmakers" blocked the Democratic bill.
