Alas I didn't pull anything off for this to happen. The page is owned by Warners. I'm just the cheerleader.
Digital Prophet@digitalprophet.online · 2d agoAttention: Full episodes of #babylon5 are now available on the official B5 youtube channel. If you have not already watched the complete B5, now is the time. The greatest scifi show ever produced, now on the tubes. I dunno how @straczynski.bsky.social pulled this off. I suspect skullduggery.
I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.
Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 3d agoCovid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
Excellent thread on JK Rowling censoring report which discussed the activities of JK Rowling
Valerie.vg (formerly DIYHRT.Market)@valerie.vg · 5d agobsky.app/profile/hlee... I want to talk about this for a minute as an important case study in how conservative positions, completely divorced from reality, scaffold out their rhetorical credibility 🧵

Hasbro's boss is pro-AI. He would *like* to end open gaming. He's willing to send Pinkertons to intimidate someone in order to protect his card game release schedule. On and on. The company doesn't deserve it's centrality, it's money, or the benefit of the doubt. (+)
Remember how we had Crystal Pepsi and no one liked it and then we just stopped having it one day? A few people were upset, but mostly no one cared. We could do that!

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank

If anyone uses Stripe to get payments, go to your Settings (Gear icon) > Plans and Fees > Radar (View plan details) > View Plans > Scroll to "More Options" and select "Lite" I want none of the money I earn to go to AI if I can help it.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
I cannot believe Ari Emanuel would write this and @wsj.com would publish it without disclosing that they are business partners, and Ari’s company TKO got $7 billion from David Ellison’s Paramount for UFC rights. www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

I want companies to understand that when I see an AI flier, my brain instantly deletes it. I don't think, "Ooh, I should go to this event!" I rush past it like it's a pile of dog poop. Same for ads with AI models. I assume that if your marketing is cheap garbage, so is your product.

For all the replies saying "but public transit is terrible, I have to wait an hour for the bus"... comrade, what you are suffering from is the *absence* of public transit.
