It's actually me who needs to see this, but also maybe you.

I have no clue who needs to see this but start writing again.

I am so tired of witnessing media layoffs and publications just throwing away amazing talent as this career becomes less and less sustainable and growing numbers of people are pushed out. All for shareholder profits.

My kid works at a library and found this note sticking out of a book. Dear Scarlett's parents, good job raising a rockstar. 😁

In addition to all the other terrible things about the #UCP dismantling healthcare, people being able to 'self refer' and pay for tests is, imo, another attempt to undermine science and actual expertise.

Should have planted rice this year instead of the usual garden things... #MoreRain #ShPk #Yeg

I avoided everything on #TheOdyssey until after I saw it, and reading the approximately 1 million contradictory reviews and takes I'm left with one overriding one which is: I'll never tire of people engaging with, loving, hating, debating and deeply thinking about characters, themes and art. ✌️

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

I didn't expect so much of #TheOdyssey to be spooky, creepy awesomeness. I would like Christopher Nolan to make a horror movie now please.

Serious whimsy shortage in the world right now, my friends. If you can find it, nurse and grow that joyful, fun shit like a freaking sourdough starter.

AI doesn’t exist without environmental catastrophe data centres and the broligarchy doesn’t exist without them either, so I guess that the rest of us know the assignment.

I get to see Josh Johnson live tonight. 🤩 What's your #GoodThing of the day?

I often don't see the point in being needlessly negative or crapping on things that some people enjoy, but... Orgy's version of Blue Monday is one of the worst covers ever and should not exist. I realize it's like three decades old, but I just heard it again and was reminded, so I rant.

Stuff like this makes me think about the scene in The Walking Dead when they get to the CDC in hopes of finding help and it's just one hopeless dude left. This agency used to be a science-based, hugely influential, actual helpful asset to the entire world. It's so maddening and sad.

I’m sorry what

I'm drying catnip in the oven and she's rolling on the stove to get closer to the sweet, sweet scent. #KittyHigh #CatsOfBluesky

I'm assuming the AI that purportedly hacked another corporation isn't the same one that sends me 10+ daily "I recently came across Book-X-sometimes-not-even-written-by-you and was immediately intrigued" spam emails.

This scares the absolute living shit out of me, and it should be the same for everyone else with even half a brain.

I've never seen anything like it. Salta, Argentina, has just recorded its hottest night on record during the climatologically coldest time of the year. The minimum overnight temperature did not fall below 26°C (78.8°F), pulverizing the previous monthly record by 7°C.

No part of me is as delicious as my ankles... to mosquitoes.

Behind every indie bookstore are passionate booksellers who really, really, really just want to help you find a great book. (And maybe bond with you over cat socks.)

Strawberry rhubarb criiiiisssssppp! My mouth is so excited.

If you or I stole the Mona Lisa and got caught, there would not only be a penalty (jail and a fine) but we would have to return what we stole. But they’re not going to compel Anthropic to wipe Claude’s memory, are they? They get to keep the painting.

That guy@stuartbayens.bsky.social · 2w ago

A federal judge has approved a US$1.5 billion copyright settlement in which artificial intelligence company Anthropic will pay thousands of authors about US$3,000 per book after using pirated copies of their works to train its Claude chatbot.

I have MANY things to say...I will (probably) filter out the expletives when I write to my MLA

I obviously have no opinions on this news but thought the rest of you might have things to say. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My wish for today is that you write something with your human brain. I don't care if it's a grocery list, an email, a letter to your cat or a poem about cookies. Writing is so uniquely human and magical and it should be celebrated.

Is he: a) checking to see if I have a fever b) just saying 'hey' c) casting out demons #CatsOfBluesky
