I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often

One of the all-time greats, but today for the first time I'm feeling it as deeply melancholy. Is it just me?

jessamyn@librarian.bsky.social · 5d agoI work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?
Public figures can't sue for defamation. E. Jean Carroll is a private individual. The poll workers whom Giuliani defamed, ditto. They all won in court. Stormy Daniels is a public figure, as is Fauci. Neither would win.

Orwell's "The Road to Wigan Pier" makes a similar observation: poor people spend a disproportionate part of their income on cigarettes, junk food, and other "luxuries." Of which he says: can you blame them?
Regime Accountant, CPA ☠️🎢@regimecpa.bsky.social · last wk.People didn't consume fresh produce because they didn't want to, access barely mattered to consumption habits by income. Grocery stores in poor areas basically subsidized the fresh produce they did carry by selling soda, tobacco and processed food at high markups.
1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.
There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

I do not like how everyone is going insane And no, Gaza is an inadequate excuse and barely suffices as an explanation for the sudden popularity of "actually we just realized you were a fake ethnicity all along, and you'd better confess or you're in on it too"
GraphemeOS runs on Android devices, and you can set a special PIN that will wipe the phone. A guy being interrogated supplied that PIN, so they arrested him for "destroying evidence" despite the absence of either probable cause or a warrant.

Missing the point by seeming not to understand the medium. 1. A comic page is often the work of many. Script, draw, ink, color, letter—pick one and learn how! 2. Lots of successful comics are graphically *simple*, with results both good (xkcd) and bad (Cathy).
A penitent who is loud @loudpenitent.bsky.social · 2w agoI genuinely respect "there are people who have cultivated these skills & there are those who have not, & to get an audience you need to have a certain floor of skill, that's your price of entry for engagement" far more than this "don't you want to express something?" patronizing claptrap.
Nauseating, atrocious, predictable. A deliberate return to the age of Ebenezer Scrooge.
