i feel like to believe this you have to not actually know any smart people?? the smartest people i know are also dumb as rocks and will happily do evil in exchange for money and fun little puzzles

Unionized Starbucks workers are on strike in: -California -Colorado -Illinois -Massachusetts -New Jersey -New York -Ohio -Oregon -Pennsylvania -Missouri -Texas -Washington The strike could reach “hundreds of stores” by Tuesday, according to @sbworkersunited.org.

Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work. I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

Ah, here it is! My partner and I were talking about creativity and copyright and specifically Spotify LITERALLY yesterday, so deeply amused that Cory Doctorow is finishing out the year with this one: pluralistic.net/2024/12/21/b...

It's been interesting being on art history tok which notes that this mirrors a lot of the ways we've been trained to see Jesus in historical art and that all they needed to add was a halo (Since this is the internet: nobody is calling luigi Jesus)

I’m presenting on this next week. @natdislegal.bsky.social

If this happens, and you suspect it’s a BS copyright claim, please let @eff.org know. We will do our best to get you help.

When social media sites tell you moderation has limits I want you to know there was a time when you could only find the worst people on obscure forums created for being offensive because everywhere else moderated them into those corners.

Also, let’s do some math. I think that my husband and I are pretty median as far as health care consumers. We are both in good health. We have had occasional health issues (a mole that needed to be biopsied; a broken toe; a dislocated shoulder) but nothing significant or chronic.

Put it back on PBS. Sesame Street not being on public television anymore was an abomination to begin with.

I'm going to be at Comic Arts LA tomorrow! Come visit me at Table 08-B, I'll be there alllll weekend!

The amount that being any kind of artist has turned into being a full time sales person of your own personality, begging people to pay you anything at all for the work they love, sucks so bad

Quick reminder that over 60% of internet traffic is mobile. Websites should be responsive and accessible. I was shopping for art tonight and ran into several websites that I couldn't use on my phone because the mobile menus didn't work properly.

It is pretty wild that the shooter is still on the loose in a city whose police department has the budget of a mid sized country’s military

Between the earthquake/tsuanmi scare, the UnitedHealthcare shooting and the South Korea martial law stuff this week, it feels like Bluesky is getting more and more critical mass around breaking events that made Twitter so sticky and useful.

I somewhat understand wanting to get this vote on record, but leaking this immediately would be a great sign that Dems understand the threat they’re facing show everyone exactly what they voted to cover up lotta great folks on here have their DMs open, just saying

The thing about "A.I." in art and writing and health insurance decision making and customer service and government services and a million other things... is that it sucks. And people are very very very tired of stuff that sucks.

That Gen AI content is all so underwhelming makes it all the worse that folks are either ignoring or overlooking the environmental impact to make it.

True story.

Obligatory introduction post! I'm Charlene. I've been building computers since 94, websites since 97. I'm also a dancer, musician, and a photographer. So here I am, launching my own digital marketing agency for creatives and artists. Doesn't look like there's a lot of marketing action on Bsky...

Remembering that dancing, too, is warfare.

Well, this is a career first - so cool to have artwork shared by the official accounts and actually have my name credited!! 🤯🤯🤯 Speaks volumes about Dylan Cole, Ben Procter, Aashrita Kamath and the rest of the leadership for making sure the team receives proper credit!!

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man

If you're a white cis guy struggling to think of how you can help, this right here is EXTREMELY powerful Shut down weird shit your friends/coworkers say. Be brave enough to do it. This has so much more power than you can fathom trust me

There is a waiting line for this pumpkin
