Rick Scott: "Nobody likes higher gas prices, but nobody wants to be killed by a nuclear weapon. That's what's at stake here. Do we want to be destroyed by a nuclear weapon?"

Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.

The Attorney General of the United States is speaking at an explicitly partisan political rally tonight and I would never have even known if I wasn't a loser who looked up the speaking schedule myself. The Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting is so quaint.

We're LIVE with our Dark Ages Call of Cthulhu game: Nightmare at Vestribyggd!!! We're in the land of Zar and some people have run into long lost family members... who else will they run into?? www.twitch.tv/laughlovelindy

Pitter patter

No quicker way to communicate to people that you have nothing new to contribute than by using A.I.

Werner Herzog's scathing quote about Ai is what I needed this morning.

What's bothering me about AI on Bluesky, and which for the sake of civility I have been biting my tongue about probably more than I should, is the increasing number of people willing to turn a blind eye to the fact that *all of these products* are built with stolen labor and copyright violations.

Micah@rincewind.run · 3d ago

I am in a weird middle ground on AI on bluesky in that I work in software and I see how capable it is in that field and I also feel like a crotchety old man who doesn’t want to spend time learning how to manage agents and would rather retire to play video games

I'm very very very fed up with a lot of things, but my lack of energy is at the top. Be cool if my doctor was in charge of my prescription coverage instead of my insurance company.

I sure do love it when the people above my pay grade fuck something up MULTIPLE times, but us peasants are the ones to, once again, clean up everything.

I was told last year at a con that I should do more Space Ghost Coast to Coast episodes. I said that it would be impossible seeing that I was the only voice actor left alive. He suggested that I just use ai. I answered him a little loudly, “Oh, so I should just shit on my friends’ memories?”

I see a lot of social media discussion about what the “Democratic Party” is that’s untethered from reality as a party organizer. It’s not a black box in DC, it’s people in your neighborhood trying to make a difference. If you have new ideas, your local & state party are the ground floor opportunity.

Liberal Currents@liberalcurrents.com · 3d ago

“There’s libbing out of all kinds here. Moderates who’ve been at it for forty years and progressives who’ve been pushing party boundaries for ten. There are tables hawking campaign merch, staffers who look like they didn’t sleep last night, and consultants who definitely haven’t slept in a week.”

One week later, I have an official response from #LACon #Worldcon! I thought all of you should see the entire thing: "Summary: Walking participants only Action Taken: Noted by Listeners team Current Status: CLOSED"

This is what they mean when they say "the economy is doing great."

I don't have a fancy sticker site, at this point I'm still operating entirely word of mouth - less convenient than most, I know. And yet every time this dude does something, I get a rush of new clients 95% of whom specifically state in their email seeking to get away from Sticker Mule And as...

Literally I just did this with someone. I don't care if it's funny to see the trump admin in a prison band, it's ai slop and I won't have it

Inkling@printinkling.bsky.social · 3d ago

Just a heads up: I know AI in videos can slip by us, I've fallen victim to it myself. But if you blatantly share AI trash, I'm unfollowing you and blocking the source. You are of course free to use the internet however you will And I am free to curate what I allow in my space.

I've never been big on blocking, and I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I pay attention, and I do see repeated behaviors. Unless someone is being abusive to another human, I'm not going to call them out - that's dogpile Twitter drama. I just cull and move along.

I think MAHA is very straightforwardly the triumph of the snake oil salesmen and the way we beat it is the same way you always beat snake oil salesmen: regulate their claims

The other is, DC asked George Perez to do his last Wondrr Woman story. He said he would only do it if I wrote it. I did, it was hugely emotional. A few weeks later, he sent the original art to me without even saying he was going to do that. George Perez’s last WW art.
