The extreme dread of posting something and then logging back in to see the "30+" notification alert

Gemini: The acute agony you’ve been experiencing will let up a bit and morph into more of a vague dread that’s actually much, much harder to endure.

DOCTOR: Are you taking care of yourself?

ME: [thinking about the chocolate cupcake and can of Monster Energy I had for breakfast] yes

It’s a good day for everyone to turn on two factor verification on Bluesky.

Also on all your other online accounts.

I can't believe I actually have to say this, but apparently I do: someone who is buying compromised Bluesky accounts from an account reseller marketplace is directly funding identity theft, fraud, and international crime. #BadActorBingo resurrection for an explainer of why:

a woman is laying in a bed with a blanket on her head . Alt: Kim Kardashian lying in bed under a duvet staring blankly at the ceiling.

eevee why

I mean, sure, you could argue that it's misanthropic but I feel like people should just not be outside when I'm outside. Let me take my walk, and then you can have the outdoors back.

'sup Romance Scam, I'm Psyop 😭

Big "for the love of God, Montresor!" energy and I'm here for it

I read Anne Rice and VC Andrews but uh, not entirely sure that counted as "healthy sexuality" lmaoooo 😭

Oh nooooooo (but also how are you still adorable IN THE GODDAMN ER)

The level of hate on this that I am capable of though, omg, my partner and I will both be asked to leave 😂😭 you don't know what you're unleashing, lmaooooo

Iirc it basically was, as is most of her catalog. Thanks, record companies 🥲

She's not the only pop idol, either, whose stuff is basically just gone forever nowadays.

Welcome to the very noodly, tired, and pain-wracked club 😭

Definitely a worthwhile way to enjoy the special treat!

Ash from Pokémon bowing his head with his eyes closed and the text "Extremely disrespectful. Pikachu kill him."

Exactly how this would play out:

The damage from my brain lesion (ongoing cognitive and memory issues, finding words, etc.) also has me stepping back from programming and security research, simply because I'm worried I can't do it anymore and I'll make a terrible mistake that will either humiliate me or cause other problems 😰

I used to go to conferences pretty regularly, but between pretty serious harassment that happened at the last one I attended and then the pandemic, I've fallen out of it. And now the prevalence of tech folks licking shiny metal boots by pushing genAI makes me think they're not places for me anymore.

Debating whether to go to the C++ conference in Aspen -- it'll probably be my last opportunity to go.

I might be able to work around the accessibility issues (a LOT of walking), but I'm mostly worried that someone's going to mention genAI to me and I will be physically incapable of not being mean.

ok buckaroos i am going to talk a bit on artists and writers and publishers and AI, specifically HOW to create in this environment of endless ai slop and WHY i think you will probably be fine if you heed these very important words: YOUR ART IS MORE THAN WHAT IS IN THE PAGE OR PAINTING OR FILM

If you like eggs, you can get really fancy and add either scrambled or fried egg to the top, and some shredded cheese to melt over it too.

It's a pretty common meal in our house

cyberpunk has had its run now it's time for cyberska give me robot rudeboys and augmentations that turn your hands into trombones

PLEASE, YOU MUST TELL HIM THAT HE IS A GOOD BOY. THE BEST BOY, EVEN. 😭

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

This is a fully autistic household. Not letting me call out would have practically been a refusal to accommodate 😆

A collection of undersea fossils in a museum case at the Denver Nature & Science Museum.

A standing adult Stegosaurus skeleton with two baby Stegosauri, one in the front and one in the back, near an Allosaurus skeleton at the Denver Nature & Science Museum.

A giant monarch butterfly and monarch caterpillar Lego sculpture, with a life-sized Lego sculpture of a peacock in the background, at the Denver Nature & Science Museum.

A massive dinosaur leg bone from hip to foot standing on display at the Denver Nature & Science Museum. It nearly reaches the very high ceiling and an average-height man standing nearby only comes up to a few inches below the knee joint.

Yesterday I called out of work because the Nature & Science Museum had a Largest Dinosaurs and a Lego special exhibit going at the same time, and I am hashtag blessed to work somewhere that considers this a valid excuse 😂

l33t protip for them as well: in the case of, for example, the Sorting Hat labeler, you can subscribe to it and ignore everyone who unironically uses it by changing the toggle for each house to "hide" 😂 so anyone who picked a label will just not even be in your orbit

The one I use is: bsky.app/profile/skyw...

Subscribe to it, and then you can set the toggles for what labels you want to show on your account, and what kind of content you want to hide altogether or be warned about!

I apologize, I know this is a friendly colloquialism but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to answer with in this context 🥹
