Tonight is the premiere of Sanctuary Moon! Can't wait to watch.

Will the Humanities Survive Artificial Intelligence? Maybe not as we’ve known them. But, in the ruins of the old curriculum, something vital is stirring.

I just recently reread Gibson's @greatdismal.bsky.social 30 year old Sprawl Trilogy and today there's a great piece in the New Yorker. A must read! www.newyorker.com/culture/the-... "to be human is not to have answers. It is to have questions...The machines can’t do that for us. Not now, not ever."

my bluesky feed is about 85% shit about politics and 15% foxes hunting in the snow. the foxes make it all worth scrolling.

Love this. He blew a fortune on a flop and he doesn't give a shit, and doesn't give a shit that people mock his work, because he made the fucking thing he wanted to make, and he's standing by it. Fucking beautiful. Legend.

KNBR has the games. but i like the vid. esp prefer with the local guys announcing. i seem to recall last year it took some time before the live streaming was listing on mlb.tv, so maybe it just takes a minute

none of the SFG spring training games seem to be streaming, sadly

the line in this banner/link is brilliant, given that its from a Wachowski Sisters film, and expresses the issue in 5 words. totally brilliant

"In 2013 Majority Leader Harry Reid invoked the nuclear option to lower the 60-vote threshold to 51 for approval of Executive Branch appointees (such as Cabinet secretaries) and federal judges below the Supreme Court (such as for U.S. Courts of Appeal)."

COMPANIES THAT DONATED TO TRUMP AND PROJECT 2025 Democrats Abroad strives to provide Americans abroad a Democratic voice in our government and elect Democratic candidates by mobilizing the overseas vote.

But I'm not sure if you can consider it accurate. I googled Geico Political Donations and most sites I find that list this info shows Gecio contributed pretty equally to both Dems and Repubs, as many companies do.

each morning I pause for a moment to reflect on the countless ways in which the blockchain has improved my life

the templates can be got online, a few to choose from. what you need is someone fluent in wordpress who can build it out to your needs

Reminder to those who need it:

1. You can mute the name of the current president and/or anyone else you don't want to constantly hear about here

2. You can mute/block/unfollow accounts that impinge on your calm

3. Social media doesn't have to be a doom scroll, curate your feed to make you happy

yeah, i should have specified Athens. they may not have been available outside The Big City. peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are pretty american. at least, greeks dont eat them. dunno about the dutch. they can also be cut into little triangles like American Lunch Snack hors d'oeuvres.

Pop Tarts. for some reason all the corner markets in Greece carried Pop Tarts, though for like $10 a box. But if they dont scream "merica" i dont know what does.

Dems are still operating in a political paradigm where the public has a set of concerns, roughly reflecting the reality of life in America, and elections are about who addresses them better.

But that is not the political paradigm we’ve lived in, for a long time, and we’re getting further from it.

i feel like theres enough content just scrolling through my Following tab

I wonder how long it will be until the non-AI created content will seem like how black and white seemed to people when color came along in movies/tv. human made stuff will all be "art house" when all other media is AI created.
