OH EXCELLENT! I had wondered if it was supposed to be Florida...

Added to my To Read list, thanks!

There's one AI movie creator, Synthetic Pink, that is so horrifically disgusting that it seems more like a threat to the existence of AI than anything, which makes me like it.

It's such a good one for that sort of thing! I listened to it when recovering from surgery.

Oh hell yes I found it on Pocketcasts!

I adooooore this show! I was so sad when it became exclusive to Spotify, and then they dropped all the podcasts they were floating. I hope I can access the podcast elsewhere.

Oh! It was birds and not freeze after all?

Thanks, @snafu.bsky.social

You're telling me I get to chow down on the Chi-Chi's chimichanga of my childhood?

Thanks for sharing this- how lovely

A lot of people don't know that actual minimum wage is $7.25 in some states and tipped wages can be as low as $2.15.

I didn't comment to challenge you. I was just confused because if I were to make a graphic reflecting the reality of prison labor, it would have the numbers that reflect that. Like in California, you can rent a human for like, $4/day.

Oh I just wasn't sure that this image was actually made to talk about prison laborers, seems like it was just made for their average minimum wage worker.

But $7.25 is federal minimum wage, this is what non-imprisoned folks are making. In Alabama the state steals 40% of those wages, while also charging them fees for transportation and laundry.

I was wondering about this...

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found. Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

This is incredible.

On FB, I can talk about my life with people I know and care about, and I can read about their lives, see their art, see glimpses of what's going on for them. I really want to find that here, does anyone have that experience here?

When I go to folks profiles it's often just reposts, so no personal connection there. I understand not feeling comfortable posting about personal life stuff here though, I don't either because either being ignored or seen by unconnected strangers is disappointing.

I have very, very little interaction on here with folks I actually know (or anyone else much). It's a really hard forum to plug into and I'm struggling to see it take the place of meta. It's almost more lonely than nothing at all.

That's next on my list!

💙📚 Recently finished reading Bliss Montage by Ling Ma

One of the finest short story collections I've ever read.

This book could have been about 10% shorter if all instances of the word "sorry"
we're omitted.

Really began to lose me at the halfway point.

My lucid dreams are very often a futile search for a bathroom. Fortunately I never find one.

I haven't seen this one yet! Tokyo Godfathers is one of my favorite animes.

Recommendations for building engagement: ask questions, post original content (I'm lacking in this dept.) be generous with your comments on interesting posts, and popular ones, block uninteresting accounts that follow you with the sole intent for you to follow them back.
