“Capital took us down this route, and capital must be made to pay.” By @graceblakeley.substack.com .
Grace Blakeley@graceblakeley.substack.com · 2d ago‘The market’ didn’t decide that AI would be our future. Capital did. And when the devastating consequences of their decisions become clear, capital must be made to pay. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/data-centr...
At the time, medical authorities said "If any of this works, it'll look like we overreacted," and yep, here we are.
Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · 2h agoMAGA/MAHA sycophants now claim that because mitigation measures worked 6 years ago, this is proof they were unnecessary. The stupid, it burns.
Here is how I make these. It's a long process

These soft AI-prompters have never known the burn of manually erasing hours and hours of work; the stamina in following contours with eye and pencil; or the rugged toil required for precise cross-hatching They do not have the fortitude yet demand the accolades
Alexander Glass@alexanderglass.bsky.social · 10h agoI have one answer.
Are these people's brains so rotted that they genuinely do not remember four years ago?
Alexander Glass@alexanderglass.bsky.social · 10h agoI have one answer.
Once again it looks like the general consensus on Bluesky, The Knows Things App, was bang on while the right wing echo chambers were flopping around like a cod on an escalator.
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 10h agoAbdul El-Sayed has won, NBC News says. And there are other wins for the left in Michigan: —William Lawrence wins his U.S. House primary. —A DSA-backed candidate is leading a Democratic incumbent for state House. —Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of Uncommitted, leads for state Senate.
Conservative views aren't being suppressed here, they are just A) not being boosted and B) incredibly unpopular because they are odious
"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
Good #SciArt does something science needs: it makes size real. "70 cm" or "30 meters" means little until an artist puts the animal beside a human, a car, a diver. Scale art is how we actually grasp a blue whale or a giant trilobite. Art is how size becomes understandable. 🧪 #SciArt #HowToBuildAGiant

Testing out some image uploading, since BlueSky changed how it serves images a few months ago. Starting with a png file that has a transparent background. This post is from "vanilla" BlueSky, and will probably no longer have a transparent background.
When I’m on Bluesky I don’t see one specific group of people. I see: Artists Scientists Journalists Comedians Citizen activists Politicians Writers Bands The CEO needs to broaden his follows.
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
It's a strange thing to watch Bluesky think of courting the right/far-right to join here. Whether they like it or not, they have an audience present, and it'd be much smarter to serve the extant audience instead of alienating them. Which is what will happen. Not everything has to be for everyone.
The funny(?) thing about this is that the CDC plan — which was not secret — was specifically for high-risk individuals in the context of natural disasters: i.e. when people are *already in camps* web.archive.org/web/20200728...

Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · yesterdayThese guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.
Absolutely gutted to hear that my longtime friend, physicist and science communicator Becky C. Thompson, creator of the Spectra comic books, has died. She was a gifted athlete attempting to complete the Catalina Swim: 20+ miles in open water from Catalina to San Diego. (1/3)
The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

Saw Spider-Man with the family. Whole cast is stellar. Sadie Sink is exactly what we needed. Damn good performance.

Don’t know how I missed this story last month. US oil company shows up in Greenland to start drilling. Invasion by dubious permits. Important story for Canadians. #ElbowsUp

I had so much fun writing this talk. It covers important topics such as poo throughput ("pooput"!), whether teaching COBOL should be considered a crime (Dijsktra thought it should), why Quarkus is so efficient, and what AI is going to do to the job market. www.infoq.com/presentation...
