This also applies even if you include AI slop because it's funny.
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.

if you're in the queue on lego.com for the Enterprise D, it isn't a queue. They seem to pick at random. Wait on multiple devices so you get in faster.

I don't know who this nuzzi person is or what she did, but based on what I've seen from trusted sources I'm sure it was bad.

The next Transformers movie will be @jroberts332.bsky.social and @nickroche.bsky.social 's Last Stand of the Wreckers. We don't need to write the best transformers movie of all time because they already did. Just have to film it.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

TIL if I wrap my pecan pie in a bunch of plastic wrap and then forget about it in a deep freezer until right before next Thanksgiving, it is no longer the same quality it had fresh.
But it's still better than any other pecan pie on earth.

Next time you just straight up put a photo of me on BlueSky, please include alt text.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

My cat has figured out I'm cool with her standing on my chest to be closer to me while I work.
And I've figured out the touch controls to mute/unmute on my headset can't tell a human hand from a cat head.

If you post about your bluesky subpoena on bluesky it makes the legal data exporting software go into an infinite loop.
If you find out that the United States Department of Justice has subpoenaed information about you from Bluesky, please don’t post through it here on Bluesky. That makes Ken angry.

If passports have to have our assigned gender at birth on them, because that helps to identify us now, then I think it's important to make passports as effective as possible by requiring them to have our birth eye color, hair color, height, and weight as well.
