It's always super obvious who's out to "network" to get an opportunity vs. who's cool to chat with and swap war stories.
Just be cool and show interest and appreciation in people and and ignore everything else that would feel like *work* to engage with for the sake of a gig.
[louder, as if that'll improve reception] THE BLUESKY DEVS WOULD BE VERY UPSET BY YOUR JOKES ABOUT VIBE CODING IF THEY COULD LOAD YOUR POSTS
From “The Simpsons” house genius John Swartzwelder, interviewed in The New Yorker by Mike Sacks
Tonight in the ai reading group i was reminded of something that happened in 2006 after I dropped out of college, when I was living in a run-down old house next to jb alberto's in rogers park with a bunch of dudes.
it was, as you can imagine, not clean.
the most devastating experience for me is finding an amazing artist at a con and the artist Only has instagram on their business card. no bluesky no furaffinity, no tumblr or deviantart. Only instagram.
even if you go on a site just to post art then leave i beg people: please, crosspost your work
i’m such a stupid fucking mark for trying to “work” and “follow the law”

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi
As a therapist and a healthcare worker, chatbots are becoming a public health crisis, and I’m tired of hearing people who don’t see the harm every day explain why this is totally fine and just like people pearl-clutching over cellphones. It’s getting worse and we haven’t scratched the surface.
The next guest pin is by my good friend, @tsulala.bsky.social !! She is the co-creator of the manga, Devil’s Candy, which is so published by Viz! The pin features her adorable MC, Kazu, and Anxiety Fox! 🥺

A post by someone named @possumfan777 that reads: Haha dude your friends only like you because you radiate joy and two minutes in your company is enough to brighten their day significantly lol. They only keep you around because they love you dearly and cherish the place you have reserved for them in your heart lmao.
would like to have a wee little word with all the people who said everyone was overreacting to the california OS age signal legislation

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.
Please consider helping my good friend Bagel and her partner get out of a Very Not Safe area and to a much better location! They've been going through it worse than I have and really deserve to have peace of mind for once!
URGENT! The Massachusetts House just passed a "social media ban" that would force YOU to upload a government ID or submit to a face scan to post online. CALL YOUR STATE SENATORS! 978-485-4694
Okay bluesky I need your help
I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros
Reskeet this. Text it to your "friends from home"
Help this find every masshole poster who will know what to do
No matter how good your beer is, I'm not going to the nazi bar to try it.
Get off Substack.
sam is fuckin spot on
men. dudes. buds.
you are being deliberately isolated and manipulated by people who know it's easier and more profitable to make you angry than to help you be more comfortable and happy with yourself
reject these losers
I didn’t create over 200 paintings in the last 15 years just to see 1/3 of them scraped for training data & my name abused as a prompt thousands of times. These companies are blatantly laundering copyrighted artwork, displacing the artists they stole from, & devaluing the arts as a whole.
FUCK AI.
“Centrist idiots will say, ‘So what if a book isn't available at my kid’s school library? That doesn't mean that it's been censored or banned. You can still get it somewhere else.’ That is not the point. The point is that constitutionally, your government-funded school library is supposed to serve its patrons equitably, which means providing a breadth of material in service to all users of the library. If a government says, ‘We can't let trans people, queer people, or people of color be represented, we have to take those books away,’ that means those patrons are not being served by the library. They are paying taxes towards something that is demonstrably antagonistic towards them.” - TJ Alexander
