Get bent, Peter Baker. They are our neighbors, not political playthings. You have actively made this country worse with your “reporting”. What “news” is there here? This is nothing but dangerous speculation. I would say shame on you, but I don’t think you have the capacity for shame.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science. The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people. The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

anyone use INSERT INTO .. BY NAME with a view of a read_csv that has union_by_name and Hive partitioning with DuckDB? Whenever I try to apply a filter on the partition key, I get a parsing error where it looks like it’s expecting the key to be in the files. #datasky #dataBS

PSA for cat owners in the US: cats have been contracting H5N1 (bird flu). They are very susceptible to it and the fatality rate for cats is 67%. To avoid it: -keep your cats indoors. They can catch it from infected birds and mice. -do not feed them raw dairy -do not feed them raw meat

I have one gripe with The Last of Us. Ellie mentions Starbucks “all over the [Boston] QZ”, but this version of Boston is frozen in 2003. So where are the Dunks? smh horrible writing Druckmann and Mazin

Bluesky’s incredible growth up until now can be pretty directly attributed to people fleeing here to avoid the exact kind of virulently toxic social media behavior Singal and his ilk represent and I think it’d be a pretty shockingly stupid own-goal for Bluesky to start chucking that aside now

Jesse Singal is a liar and a fraud of a journalist and I will prove it as an unassailable fact in this thread. I'll also talk about why I don't think BlueSky moderation will do anything about him afterwards so stick around or maybe just skip to that if you don't want to read the boring details.

Hi @aaron.bsky.team and @safety.bsky.app, These are clear-cut, unambiguous violations of your terms of service, with zero plausible deniability. OP cites chapter and verse in the replies. Your lack of action is making it clear that Jesse Singal is not bound by the rules, just protected.

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

The latest paper from the #1 CMU-DB PhD student @samarchdb.bsky.social is wild compilation magic! He automatically makes UDFs run 300x faster on SQL Server and 1.3x faster on DuckDB. Code: github.com/SamArch27/PR... Paper: www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol18/...

I normally like Rebecca Watson’s stuff, but man her latest vid about Bluesky rubbed me the wrong way. She’s normally very good about researching her topics, but this just felt like she’s annoyed that there’s yet another social media platform. Fair, but this place ain’t a walled garden.
