Yo Gabapentin@yogabapentin.bsky.social · 10h agoMe: I need some inspiration pics for my ancient Rome book. Me 2 days later: *now owns an archive of like every extant Roman fresco, with subfolders* Also me: I do not need to be checked for ADHD.
After staying up late 2 nights reading this, I am now having unpleasant thoughts about where our food comes from.
Winter Is Coming@wicnet.bsky.social · 12h agoA Trade of Blood by Robert Jackson Bennett is sharp, inventive, unsettling in the best ways and utterly impossible to put down. Our full review of the latest book in the Shadow of the Leviathan series below ⬇️ #booksky
this just sounds like a series of nightmares piled on more nightmares, enough to power decades of dystopian science fiction
Mike Ludwig@mludwig.bsky.social · 15h agoTrump’s Federal Trade Commission Is Threatening to Punish Big Tech for “Woke AI” Free speech groups sound alarm about a proposal from Trump's FTC to jawbone companies into training AI models on white nationalist narratives and undermine state laws. Meanwhile, Elon Musk wants his nude deepfakes...
I saw a video from a recovering alcoholic. He talked about how he used to buy rounds of drinks all the time. It wasn't generosity. He was trying to get everyone else hammered so he wouldn't feel so guilty and awkward about being sloshed himself. I feel like similar happens with some AI pushers.
lol i don't even know where the chatbot thingy is located. Like is it an app? is it a website? who knows? never been there
Charlie Stross@cstross.bsky.social · 19h agoMy answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
Finished this laaaate last night, slept in, and am now bereft of Ana & Din again. I need there to be 20 of these.
Sarah Tolcser@tolcser.bsky.social · yesterdayUpdate on my intention to download A TRADE OF BLOOD (NEW ANA & DIN SO EXCITED!!!!) at midnight and read it all night: I made it to Ch 13 haha
One of the things I find so off-putting about AI generated imagery is just how overgreebled it is, it always adds too much detail, and when it comes to trying to depict food, it ends up looking like it's crawling with insects or triggering trypophobia, it's extremely off-putting.

This is how I found out from my roommate I’m allergic to mangoes when I was 23. Always hated my grandma’s fruit salad when I was a kid bc of the spicy orange bits.
Dan Hon@danhon.com · 2d agoSpicy fruit thing
Not gonna lie, I remain delighted that Bluesky management hates that the platform was immediately co-opted by artists and queers.

Will Swardstrom@wswardstrom.bsky.social · 3d agoThere is almost a warm blanket type of comfort in the bizarre flora, fauna, and fungi of Ana and Din's world in A TRADE OF BLOOD. Another absolute banger from @robertjbennett.bsky.social My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-a-tra... #BookSky #FantasyBooks
I honestly don’t know how anyone can be in the room when he says this kind of shit and not say ANYTHING. That’s not how you talk to people! Hit him with a rolled up newspaper or SOMETHING.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"
Got the brilliant idea to listen to the books on audio while sewing for Jane Austen Fest. Northanger Abbey is the one I have not read, and it starts with a description of not knowing at a party that is still so relatable today
It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
If B&N had put out A Trade of Blood early, I might have been tempted to buy it even though I preordered it, so we’re lucky it didn’t so I was safe from buying 2 of the same book just to read it 36 hrs early 😂
We are in Best Buy and they have 1 Blu-ray player in the entire place. Stores are putting yourselves out of business.
Hahaha watching Ride or Die and the scene with the Gen Zs in the hostel is so, so funny. When they all go back to sleep 😂
to lose one representative may be misfortune, to lose two seems like carelessness, to lose three what the fuck are you doing

The flooding in Rensselaer County is crazy! (lol it's a screenshot of a video and you can't see how fast it's going. The comments are like, "Hey maybe you should get off that bridge")
It’s completely nuts that Trump won by less than 2M votes with near universal media help and worldwide rage at incumbents and the media treated this like a permanent sea change towards MAGA and now less than 2 years later he’s the least popular President in history and there’s no media reckoning
man at this point, just get the frozen mushroom medley from Trader Joes and call it a day, instead of eating slimy mushrooms.
Serious Eats@serious-eats.bsky.social · 6d agoTo find the best way to keep mushrooms fresher for longer, we tested six different methods for storing them.
I know all cat color behavior traits are anecdotal, BUT. Liara and Starbuck, my previous gray cat, both love: a) shredding paper b) going nuts over tuna
