when they don't say *how* the mosquitoes are kept away
micahbleu.bsky.social@micahbleu.bsky.social · 22h agoI read that rubbing fresh cat nip leaves on your skin will keep mosquitoes away. Well, now I’m a victim of heinous acts of violence committed by cats. So don’t.
Wake up, babe, new Roko's Basilisk just dropped
The Imminence Of A Revelation Which Does Not Occur@nataliereed84.bsky.social · 17h agoShort story where a horrific malevolent demon of chaos from the year 6666 AD ensures that its birth in the nightmarish future comes to pass by projecting dreams backward through time to inspire the dark gothic sci-fi tabletop wargame Warlords of 6666 AD amongst 1980s Nottingham art students.

Ah, damn. We had advance notice and I hoped we still had another evening, but it's very definitely already here.
This, to which I would add, the entire scanned data set should become free to the public after a short horizon - like 18 months
Shepherd@neolithicsheep.bsky.social · 2d agoMy most unpopular opinion is that not every book has historical and cultural significance and it is not, in fact, morally wrong to shred books. There are a shit ton of books out there that are "old" and "rare" and it's fine to shred them. They're in the Library of Congress probably.
HISTORIANS SELDOM APPLY FOR LICENSES, SIR

Re previous post. Seattle, make sure you have masks and be ready to close windows.
Meredith Rawls@merrdiff.bsky.social · 3d agoYo Seattle SMOKE INCOMING. Worst likely Wed-Thu. Exposure to wildfire smoke harms your health—don't tough it out. Air purifiers are your friend. Many free apps show you local air quality (AQI). Exerting yourself outdoors when it's high is a bad call. Be safe! emeraldcityweather.com/heat-wildfir...
Me: It's so beautifully cool this weekend, maybe it's overkill to leave the AC hooked up - Forecast: 91F by Wednesday, incoming wildfire smoke Me: welp

As of Wed DOH are tracking two Cyclospora cases with no known travel outside of the state, vs 40 cases traced to known exposure elsewhere, and "we are not seeing a suspected food source or signs of an outbreak" in WA. doh.wa.gov/you-and-your...

Beautiful day in Seattle yesterday, except for the large pyrocumulus cloud rising beyond the Columbia Center Bldg on the right. That is the Little Giant fire burning near Lake Wenatchee 📸Theresa Arbow O'Conner
Hoping for Patrick Stewart. Expecting Beaker.
Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 2w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
Tag yourselves! I think I'm probably Engrossed Owl on the upper right, but the bottom two having their stone minds blown clean open by their respective books are pretty awesome.

After running the AC and filters full blast for several hours, the apartment as a whole is down to 27C/81F but the bedroom is a relatively comfortable 24C/75F. I'll take the win.
No, absolutely not. We are not abbreviating someone practicing expert supervision of automated decisions, aka Human In The Loop, that way. Grow up.
standing near the doors on a crowded light rail car someone boards wearing a shirt with the logo H A C K E R S at my stop I wait until the doors are about to close, lean near their shoulder, mutter through my teeth HACK THE GIBSON and stride off without looking back at wide eyes for the lulz
