@lopatto.bsky.social has me rolling with: “And every time I see this appeal to AI, my first thought is the same: Are you fucking stupid or something?” Great read. www.theverge.com/2024/12/23/2...

The comparison of humans and bugs at the end of The Three-Body Problem falls apart under scrutiny. This, and the wooden characters makes it a 2/5 for me, and I don’t get the heaps of praise for it. #Spoilers if you haven’t read it #BookSky 💙📚👇 1/3

*inside the halls of a #perfume #ad agency* Staff: Yeah so in this ad we are going to have Johnny Depp shredding guitar in front of 50 amps. Oh, and there are going to be a wolf pack howling along. And they are all in the desert! Boss: this is going to juice sales omg

if I spent all of my time reading and never did anything else I would still never run out of amazing books to read and I think that is a really wonderful thing about humanity

Our healthcare system can be fixed politically -- murdering people is not necessary. Yes, people voted against reform just last month, but people are far from unpersuadable on this issue.

Actively trying to open wine is the canon moment when you realize you don’t have that corkscrew you know is in the house. Every. Single. Time.

“The hypocrisy of warning about a governmental registry and at the same time establishing a private registry for political purposes is stunning.” Why am I not surprised that a Cambridge Analytica pops up here. Excellent work @propublica.org

Dan Campbell’s 4th down decisions had my heart in overdrive last night. Going for it on our own 30? Insane. Going for it with seconds left on the clock? Insane. 4/5 conversion rate? INSANE! This team is going all the way, I’m convinced nothing can stop the @detroitlions.bsky.social #OnePride #Grit

We need to bring back the phrase “it’s not personal, it’s business” Reminder: any entity dedicated to making money will never be your friend. Like, never ever. www.citationneeded.news/issue-71/

My new hobby is seeing skeets from @hankgreen.bsky.social, reading his replies and rolling my eyes, and then seeing him upload a video a day later exposing those same replies as bots and what that means for this place. Then he usually wraps the vid by dunking on my Connections score for the day 🫡

Finished The Abominable by Dan Simmons tonight I’m honestly a little sad the monster wasn’t what I thought it was all along. Damn Nazis. #Booksky #Books #Reading

I’ve tuned in and out throughout #AlanWake2 while it was played in my house and can now safely say this game makes no sense to me. One second it’s running and gunning to rock music, the next it’s talking about “clickers” and live action cutscenes. I should’ve been paying closer attention 💀

This should be front page of every tech pub. Marc Benioff, who bought TIME Magazine a few years ago, is now using the front page as marketing for his $2-a-conversation generative AI software. If you were mad at Bezos for silencing WashPo - this is just as bad, if not worse.

My ultimate goal this Thanksgiving is to move family members away from online gambling and push them instead towards Balatro - the only responsible way to have a "gambling" addiction @localthunk.bsky.social @playbalatro.com #balatro #rougelike

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.
