As long as it doesn’t prevent smooth reading, I 100% prefer well loved & used books.

Question of the Day: When you buy used books, do you prefer unmarked copies or like to see others' comments and highlighting? #booksky

I’m a tiny account here, mostly posting nonsense about Star Trek, and yet a bunch of you donated to help my brother with his cancer treatment hospital bills—I don’t know any of you, you don’t know him. It’s pretty incredible that y’all even saw those GoFundMe skeets, let alone chipped in. Thank you!
Without trying to sound too sappy, I want to say that I am very thankful for everyone here. Thanks for making me laugh, for teaching me and others, for posting cute pet photos, for helping people online when they're in need, and for being kind.
I hope everyone has a happy, healthy Thanksgiving 🖤

took this stance real early on, have been paying close attention, and i have yet to see a single thing that manages to challenge that opinion even a little bit, rather than solidifying it into diamond-hard conviction
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

Know what I’m thankful for? Emergency vets that will save your kitty with epinephrine and steroids when he starts unexpectedly having a severe allergic reaction in the late evening the day before Thanksgiving.

Apparently, I'm just really weird, because I've never read any writer and thought they should do a podcast.

Not that this is worth discussing at all, but it’s notable that their names do be like that right?
Neither is particularly notable on its own, but like Erin dating Aaron, it’s… something that grabs you—a human—by your stupid amygdala and waterboards you while the teletubbies theme plays endlessly.

”The thing is this wasn’t really a catch-and-kill operation as described—I don’t even think there’s a term for what this was,” I say as I pour gravy on my fourth slice of pumpkin pie. My wife has filed for divorce and one of my cats is packing her belongings in a suitcase, but I persist.
Do I try to explain the Nuzzi-Lizza situation to my in-laws at Thanksgiving dinner or do I just pass the stuffing and keep screaming in my own brain hmmmmmmm

You ever have people respond to you on here by just… repeating back what you said but without any personality?
I’m not going to say my particular brand of “wit” is for everyone (or anyone but me, really, and even not them sometimes…) but I’ve got a semblance of a “voice”. Why copy sans character?

PSA to neurotypicals - asking “why” is not arguing. “Here is how a thing is.” “Why?” Is not an argument. It’s a request for more information. Why is the thing that way? Teach me.

Is anyone excited about Stranger Things at this point?
I know a lot of folks here on Bluesky aren’t thrilled with many of the actors’ politics or behavior, but even offline normies are bored of what was obviously a one-off season that then was… good enough-ish for two, and that’s basically it.
