This is good advice, but doing it just now I see that Bluesky moderation is also blocking a lot of crap I really don't want, so I applaud them for that. It looks like a good, configurable system, or at least it's trying to be.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Because the prompt was “Hide evidence of AI,” and, like HAL in 2001 (“The mission cannot fail.”) AI took its orders literally and, “hid evidence of AI in the photo.”

DHS posted a photo of someone in Portland, “expressing support of ICE.”
It’s an obvious fake. Note that she’s standing over the letters “AI” in the sidewalk.
Why?

I'm either lazy, old, or sick. Or all three. Or all three plus things I'm too lazyoldsick to even recognize. Or God hates me. Because I don't think he exists, which makes him mad. I should probably stop doing that, or I would if I thought he was there being mad. I know SOMEONE is mad at me somewhere

Years ago I was suspended on Twitter for inviting Marco Rubio to swallow ten D batteries, which I don’t see how it could be a threat; he and I were not even in the same room and I have at most six D batteries on hand

Fascinating (& repulsive, to my mind) thing YouTube is doing to short vids without consulting their creators: they smooth and plasticize the figures with AI. What could be the point here? What's the endgame? This is literally dehumanizing. youtube.com/shorts/6lDI3...

This (like pretty much anything Todd Alcott writes) is well worth a read. Takes maybe two minutes.

Going through a phase where if a YouTube vid—guitar repair, electronics tutorial, drunk-driving mom arrested on body cam—is AI-narrated, I hit that “don’t recommend this channel” button and never look back. Regardless of the destruction of the earth’s resources, AI’s quality just flat out SUCKS.

Obviously—OBVIOUSLY, I mean, come on—I hate Trump and his enabling cult (and this includes the Democratic Party, I’m done trying to see the bright side), but this phenomenon is absolutely ghoulishly fascinating. The level of mass hypnosis is astonishing.

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.

People are really mad at me about this comic. Let me be clear: this is not an indictment of Christianity. Far from it. This is about how the poor are dehumanized constantly. People who are not poor can't ever believe this stuff.
