Bluesky continues to be not a great fit for me. Doesn’t help the doomscroll. Few people I know using it. Hard to make new meaningful connections. Tons of bots and having to screen follows. Lack of privacy controls. And I just don’t meet the demos that thrive here. Ah well.

Weekend in New Orleans coming up. And one later in the month. Really gonna need it, to find some joy and distraction out there. The world is a mess and these are tough, lonely days.

Just a reminder, the worst photoshop is 1000x funnier than the most accurate AI art.

Merriam-Webster’s 2025 word of the year is 'slop' Merriam-Webster’s 2025 word of the year is “slop.” The word was first used in the 1700s to mean soft mud. It evolved more generally to mean something of little value.

Creepy, zany and demonstrably fake content is often called “slop.” The word's proliferation online, in part thanks to the widespread availability of generative artificial intelligence, landed it Merriam-Webster's 2025 word of the year.

Share something good here.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I wish BlueSky was a better place to make connections and feed my interests, instead of a place where I almost only get messaged by scammers and follower farmers, and find that every feed i interact with is either just a new flavor of doomscroll or a space I don’t fit in well.

If all the goth girls need a place to hibernate until next Halloween, I’ve got a couple spare rooms.

halloween is the best holiday because it’s the one that’s the most community focused. also because it’s the horniest

90% of the DMs I’ve gotten on this app have been weird scammers. Not to say I’ve gotten that many, but…

Whatchamacallit is my fav, but you aren’t wrong that Snickers is just like the quintesential image of candy bar.

Sometimes I get the urge to post extra vulnerable or extra stupid stuff here then remember it’s open and not private and then fear any and all eyes on it and immediately delete everything before posting. Probably smart but not exactly the most fun or engaging.

@adelaidejewel.bsky.social What should i roll up in Remix? I dont have a rogue, pally, mage, monk, or hunter (Not hunter please, i cant handle the idea of wanting to collect all the damn hunter pets).

What if I had someone to ride out all of this garbage with? We could watch bad movies and play video games and eat a bunch of junk food and catastrophize everything when we aren’t actively trying to distract ourselves from the hellscape burning around us. Maybe touch butts. That’d be cool.

Just a reminder to my friends at Blizzard as we await the next expac: we need more good guy warlock characters! And if you need name suggestions for any future story characters or NPCs i think putting in an orc destro warlock named Zungu would be like THE BEST idea... for reasons...

Ryan Murphy needs to stop making tv period.

I will take any and all distraction anyone has to give at this point.

This is a bad idea for all the obvious reasons of, like, integrity and craft. But it’s also a bad idea because instead of just writing the thing yourself, you are instead letting the Convincing Lie Machine see if it can trick you into getting fired because you didn’t fact check every single word

I am so tired of the world.

Digital illustration of a stack of five ravens standing on each other’s backs. They are colored in unravenlike gradient colors against a pink mottled background. A series of five yellow speech balloons, one word per bird, reads top to bottom ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

We living in rough times. Take as much rest as you can and need!

Dragon Con was great! But EXHAUSTING! Definitely will do some things different if I go back. But glad I went. Wish I had gotten to stay out a bit later in the evenings to grab more drinks with friends and mingle with some nerd ladies. Living that single old geek life. Time to sleep for days!

It’s hard to keep waking up to just more and more of the worst news. The world feels really busted these days.

Holy hell I’m tired of AI art and its defenders, and the folks who genuinely can’t identify it on sight.

That's not a no!

So you’re saying these are mutually exclusive? Or can you confirm the big bad of Last Titan is actually Shrimp Hulk?

Liandrin is cool and all but would have MUCH rather seen Lorthemar with his lady Thalryssa in full cine glory. Those voidwalkers are sick as hell looking though. Xalatath continues to be a very fun bad guy.
