Jason Kelce doing an anti-data center ad with Liquid Death is a pretty clear signal to Democrats about where the public is on AI.
The catering cart memes are doing me in ☠️😭 Please add any I missed in the replies. We need this laugh.
It's safe to assume that all major LLMs are scraping Bluesky data to train future models. As an open protocol, Bluesky is one of the few sources of fresh human-generated content that anybody can gobble up. So all this is probably going in the models. There are submarines in the Great Lakes.
Some days it's as much as I can do to hold back the tears, slap on a brave face, and put one foot in front of the other. Today is such a day. I have one rusty, bent, dented old spoon left, and I'm clutching on to it like the lifeline it is. #pov

‘[ HARMING ANIMALS ] occupies an almost sacred space in 🇺🇸 politics’ Seriously. How sad is it that politicians have to distance themselves fr moral #progress in order to get elected. At a time when our very lives depend on ending #AnimalAg, this is the best we can do? newrepublic.com/post/212659/...

I'm reading, and listening to podcasts, about #collapsology. It's pretty bloody grim. I find myself needing to take breaks to cuddle the dog or go outside and talk to the plants. I have no doubt that's where we're headed. Grim. #collapse #collapsologie #SocietalCollapse
I have a pet cam so when my day becomes too much I can take a moment to watch my dog and cat and regain my will to live. Crazy how much I love that pair ♥️ #PetsOfBlusky #SkyPets #DogsOfBluesky #CatsOfBluesky
Since when was cruelty an Australian value @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social? Doing deals with PHON to charge students more for their visas is vile. Many already struggle financially while they're here. This makes them more vulnerable. We'll remember at the next election. #auspol

It is now the deflecting pool. Release the Epstein Files. Release the Epstein Files. Release the Epstein Files. Pass it on.
Took the dog (aka the centre of my universe) to the vet today where we learned that he's a whopping 5kg, and the vet declared him (and specifically his teeth) to be splendid and perfect. Needless to say, I'm a very proud mum 😊 #AusDogs #SkyDogs #SilkyTerrier #DogsOfBluesky
I have the best cat and dog in the world. Fact.
#IfIWasATrillionare I'd give it away. I have a home, my health, work I enjoy, happy kids. What more could I want.

When we were kids, too old for a baby sitter but too young to be left at home alone, mum used to send us to the library while she was at work. They had games, and bean bags, and of course all of the books. Some brilliant memories. #librariesrock
