But this is just nitpicking. I loved the comic!

In Norway we use the term "radiator" mainly to refer to water based heating systems and they don't carry any meaningful fire hazards. Electric heaters, on the other hand... Idk if this is how it works in English though.

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

But generally the MD-80s also had integrated front stairs so the rear door was more of a secondary exit.

The MD-80 series also had a butt door. I exited through that door several times back in the day.

Agreed.

The explanation Bluesky gives you is succinct. Please just describe the image WITHOUT links or emoji.

Links aren't clickable and too many emoji hurt the ears so use fewer of them anyway.

Mx. Fee - FREE LINK @mxfee.bsky.social · 3d

Idk how else to explain to people that no, alt text isn't for posting the link so your skeet looks "clean", or solely cracking a joke.

It's fine if your alt text is amusing but the PRIMARY function must always be to describe the image for someone who cannot see it.

Accessibility must come first.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Please do as shaun says, but not before reporting the account for spreading disinfo.

genAI is so good nowadays that we're all gonna get got eventually, but being told/shown over and over that you're disseminating a lie, and just ignoring people who point it out, is a serious red flag.

This is how "vikings" actually dressed like (a prince in this case). Not that black and brown biker jacket nonsense they are depicted like these days. Colour! People always liked colour!!

No medieval filter here! A modern recreation of a Viking ruler for Denmark’s National Museum, based on the depiction of Cnut in the New Minster Liber Vitae and on clothes found at a grave in Mammen, Denmark. #medievalsky

I have some questions about the current moderation practices of Bluesky.

1. Why haven't you banned Jesse Singal? He has shown a clear history of harassment targeted against trans people and has among other shared materials from the cyberstalking community Kiwifarms

2. Why have you banned Link? I can't see where he broke the rules of Bluesky, and to me it seems like a vindictive move against a Black person who called out the people in power at Bluesky.

3. Why do you mass ban Palestinians, even ones who have had their identities verified by other Bluesky users? To me it seems like you're just indiscriminately mass banning Palestinians who are asking for help in a crisis on Bluesky.

I need to know the answers to these questions in order to know if Bluesky is going to be a safe place for me going forward. Thanks in advance.

Po Boy! A working class part time thief loitering in a crumped down alley.

A scene from a date in a calm opening in the woods. A floating woman meets a young romantic. It went horribly.

An office building turned revolutionary headquarters. This corridor is VERY pink!

A desert scene with cactoids in the foreground. A vast plain opens behind them and mountains rise in the distance slightly faded by atmosphere.
