Just so we're all clear on what ICE says happened, this facility is saying that they just happen to continuously host average people who know what a Hog Tie entails, and are capable of making the right knots at the right distance from each other

YouTube sent me a notification to let me know that out of all the lonely lesbians to abuse the repeat one function, I am among the best at doing so
A screenshot of a YouTube notification page. It had three identical badges called 'Top Listener of Hozier' all of which say I'm in the top 0.25, or 0.5, or 0.06% of listeners

I'm sick of some of y'all. You will just say anything to people as long as you think you're gonna be white and right at the end. I definitely made the right call ooking at the first condescending response to me yesterday and deciding to go play console games all day cause y'all ended here. Again
User Paul, (who apparently writes for Salon🫠) says "give it a rest dude. I've had queer friends since I was like 5. I wrote under a GAY BLACK PERSONA FOR a zine as a teen in the 60s. I've been the only straight dude in a queer performance art space and teased for it by the performers I was there to support so I REALLY don't have time for your BS. Please note that the all caps emphasis on Gay Black Persona were applied by me in all caps confusion but Really at the end was all caps from the OP, who is exhausted by occasionally knowing gays and once pretending to be Black over the course of sixty some years

Are other #Blacksky users having this problem of slow responding and this occasional error message?

So Link has to go but Niggaballsdotorg can sign up to create an account the same day all the gov accounts arrive. Cool. Cool.

Bet. Let me figure out this fucking migration tool even tho the point of the public space was to become one of the many and surely there will never be long term rippling consequences to forcing all of the minorities into our own walled digital ghettos...
A screenshot of Bluesky leadership member Jay replying to the outrage against the banning of hundreds of established Bluesky accounts after rightwing report brigadeing following the right on right Nazi infighting assassination of Charlie Kirk. It reads "We knew from the start we can't get everything right. Moderation is a hard problem and it's impossible to please everyone. So we built a protocol where you always have the right to leave. If you don't like us or trust our decisions you deserve the right to choose an alternative."

Hey @threesailsstudios.bsky.social wanna see a sneak peek at something cool I'm working on?

Say Hi to the Guardian Folio
A folded paper craft Folio. A triple folded pamphlet sticks out the top with the words Guardian Skill Tree at the head of the page. It's made of scrapbook paper custom designed by me in tones of old cream paper and lace. a waterfall page of the paper craft Folio open to the page representing the player's dice, called their bones in game. Ribbons in dark brown label the 4 abilities decorated with various bones including a dinosaur tooth that I have lovingly added a gold cap to. The Folio spread open displaying the five potential starting interactions for the Guardian class on individual tags. A player would tuck the tags for their three starting interactions into one of the stacked pockets on the far side The paper craft Folio showing the four states of threads, whole, frayed, broken, and repaired. Whole and frayed are on long strips of paper, repaired and broken on squares

I wish my camera was good because you cannot imagine the richness and depth of light and color happening on these lichens and mosses right now. There is a beauty to the deep end of summer that is so exquisite I find myself stopping to verbally congratulate the sky or a tree for looking so good

I don't want to write the same alt text four different times so I'm just going to describe here that these are 4 photos showing 4 different angles of various printouts of my Brown Florals printables kit. It shows my favorite pinkish brown roses print on cream, alphabet tiles, and little envelopes

Okay, here's the envelope journal I made yesterday. There are more pics but I'm at the end of my screen time for the next few hours, so you'll just have to admire the outside and the best (front) page
A small handmade journal, about 4 inches by 6 inches. It's covered in a blue and pink marbled sticky paper with thick gold swirls in it and the binding loops are a pink and yellow bit of tablet weaving I did when I was first learning. It is propped up on a set of clipboards and over the top edge you can see that I'm outside in my yard by the road The same little journal as before, but standing up and opened slightly to show off the back binding. The bindings are four shades of pink and a pale yellow that looks like little geometric flowers. There are three of them each about an inch and a half apart The journal flipped open. The inside book plate page is a textured teal cardstock and is more than a little crooked. The first envelope has its flap replaced with a full length strip of blackboard paper that flips open to the right The blackboard flap opened to show the empty envelope pocket ready to be filled and the blank surface ready to be written on

Lololol, I was playing #Pokemon TCG this morning and I finally opened a pack with Ho-oh and my Ho-oh card was naked!
A screenshot of a card from Pokemon Trading Card Game. It has a black and white swirling background overlayed by the text identifying it as Ho-oh EX with the 3 colorless energy attack Phoenix Turbo and underneath all that, an enormous salmon pink image box with nothing in it except the words NEW ART COMING SOON.

Good morning from my house! Have one of my favorite sights ever, the hot air balloon!

I fucking love hot air balloons. I love how colorful they are. And that they're big and slow and that they really only exist to bring a unique joy experience to people.
A picture of a hot air balloon flying in the air near my apartment. Honestly the picture is mostly of power lines and a streetlight because I am not a good photographer, but the focus is SUPPOSED To Be the very small hot air balloon positioned between the lines above the street light. It has blue and pink and yellow stripes which you can't see very clearly in the photo This is the same alt text from before because it's just a slightly closer version of the same shot.

Puffin has managed to break one of her back teeth when no one was looking and now it's infected and my youngest sibling is at the emergency vet with her now.

We need $200 to cover the gap in what we have and what it's going to be

Screenshot of a message that reads My sibling: At the emergency vet with Puffin. Her abscess got bigger and was preventing her from closing her eye. We just got checked in by the cat nurse. Waiting for the Vet vet to show. Apparently cats can go up to 6 hrs straight without blinking. Routinely. Me: oh no Sibling: dental root abscess, likely going to be an extraction and a drain and a cone for 3-5 days Continuing the conversation from the previous screenshot Me: Nooooo. Are they doing it now or making a dental vet appointment and giving her antibiotics now? Sibling: unsure they may be doing it now depending on the vet tech. I got a health credit card with an $800 line. Pray it ain't more than that" A picture of a long haired black cat with large grey green eyes. Her eyes are usually GREEN green, it's hard to see through her fluffy but half of her face is very swollen and impeding eye movement. She loves cameras so even in pain she is trying to be pretty for the camera. Puffin having climbed into the hoodie pocket of my youngest sibling Miah's hoodie.

Lolololol, so are we just going to ignore how many Very Real People didn't
get their AI auto-reply feature turned off in December and how that's led to all the vote blue no matter who bots artificially inflating this pre-pre-PRE-Primary discussion into a familiar volume of bullshit?

I bet we are.
A screenshot of a conversation surrounding people refusing to vote for Newsome in the TWENTY TWENTY-EIGHT elections. The important post reads "By all means vote for a fascist who won't recognize your choice! I seriously thought all the total morons were working for the other side. I now have no reason to doubt my prior assertion that Americans are the dumbest voters on planet Earth."

A pair of glasses on a bag. One arm is unattached at the frame. You must look very closely to see the snapped metal that means I can't just get a new screw to fix it

Whose mess is this? Someone go pickup your trash please and explain to them why this is shitty.

My son's enormous son
A black cat with a ridiculously round head. He looks like an alolan Persian it is so big and round. He has a neat little white triangle on his chest. He is blurry because he decided he needed to be petted harder while the picture was being taken and headbutted my hand

Me: damn, this cigarette feels like a whole new day. It feels better out here in the breeze than it does in my house. Wonder what the temp went down to

Weather app whispering sheepishly: ... 92 feels like 101

Me, on the verge of tears but also unironically: oh nice, eight whole degrees.

Dear clouds,

I see what you're doing for my buddy and ask if maybe you can break me off a piece of that cool weather as well because this is terrible

"To elicit the blackmailing behavior from Claude Opus 4, Anthropic designed the scenario to make blackmail the last resort"

Why...why not just not program in blackmail? You can't teach it blackmail and program in scenarios where you're TELLING IT THAT'S AN OPTION and then be like 'oh no, blackmail'
A screenshot from the article. First sentence is incomplete. The second sentence, which I am highlighting in this screenshot says "To elicit the blackmailing behavior from Claude Opus 4, Anthropic designed the scenario to make blackmail the last resort."
