Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Mexico over the last few years and it is one of the most beautiful and culturally + historically fascinating countries on earth: it’s an absolute travesty how many Americans think it’s just Cancun and cartels

Me anytime I'm slightly inconvenienced by ATC. ATC: *perfectly reasonable low impact request* Me: "We're gonna be in the Hudson." ATC: "Say again?" Me: "Disregard."

Just sent out my newest baby out into the world right in time for FWA! Snap some pics of this Shep if you see him! Was an absolute pleasure working on ya @helljumpershep.bsky.social 💛

How one finds out that @finnthepanther.com probably works in tech.

"Large language models do not, cannot, and will not 'understand' anything at all. They are not emotionally intelligent or smart in any meaningful or recognizably human sense of the word." 🧪🤖 [gift link]

This came to me last night while I was high as fuck and decided to make it while waiting for VRChat to come back online :)

FurryMUCK is still going fine, just saying

I kind of want to check out Furality one of these days, but the issue is... it always seems to happen when it's nice out and I really don't feel like staying in (being in June certainly doesn't help).

Ah, bummer. Bill Atkinson has passed. Kind of an unsung figure in the early GUI-based computers and, before that, image processing.

Hegseth wants to rename the USNS Harvey Milk because it doesn’t fit the “warrior ethos” he’s pushing. He served, was forced out for being gay, and still came back to fight for the country that tried to erase him. THAT is a warrior.

IT'S JUNE! TIME TO BE A QUEER SEAL IN THE POOL! 🏖️🏳️‍🌈😎 🎨🖌️ @nabiwolfy.bsky.social

This is one reason why monopolies are bad.

A lot of first- and second-gen furs became disillusioned with and *very angry* at the direction furry culture took as cons and fursuits grew more popular in the 2000s. I wonder if we're about to see that generational clash happen again as furry events adapt to meet the post-covid participation boom.

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

The same way a lot of people didn't realize how big the QAnon problem was until those fuckers literally stormed the capital, I fear we're a year or two away from a shocking discovery of just how many "seemingly normal" people have lost their minds "talking" with ChatGPT.

"The overwhelming majority of immigrants — regardless of where they come from — work hard to integrate. But it’s only natural that they also might continue to value and safeguard their mother tongue, culture and traditions. Just like a francophone Quebecer would if they were to emigrate elsewhere."

Seagull shit is here to stay. Can it ever be sanitary? Research shows that bird-generated excrement is remarkably foul. Yet seagulls tell CyberScoop it's up to industry to figure out a way to limit the issues they introduce by shitting on everything and then flying away.

Huskies need biiiiig drinks to stay caffeinated and energetic. Though I don't think I'll be getting much sustenance from an inflatable toy... 📷= @honeyfolf.bsky.social #FursuitFriday #Scotiacon #fursuit #furry

Many libraries also have mechanisms by which patrons can suggest/request purchases. One simple way to help combat book banning is to do the opposite - actively/proactively request queer books, & books that detail accurate history, etc! This supports authors (money!) & library staff (data!)
