I would have gladly accepted another movie or two in the vein of Legacy, but If the final service TRON can offer us is to be the albatross around Jared Leto's neck that finally gets him out of Hollywood, I guess I can accept that.

Goodbye TRON, godspeed, we'll always have Legacy.

maybe not, but if anyone's getting sucked into the system, i want it to be Fox-viewer-friendly white folks with the means to pay lawyers

if you are a target - black, brown, gay, trans, immigrant - absolutely do not register, do not put your name on anything

if you are a white person with undisputed citizenship and no immediate family/friends to be sucked into the maelstrom along with you, by all means, put your name on everything

Me trying to have some fun with my kid: ok bud, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10

My son: why?

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you β€” no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

turns out circumcision does not cause copism, but there is a clear link between copism and *believing* that your dick is shorter than normal

with respect, rahaeli, I’m certainly not the only one who’s noted a real deference to AI from bsky devs without a corresponding concern about shitty behavior toward marginalized folks on this platform

but I’ve said my piece and I’ll leave

Paul I look forward to similar PSAs from you whenever anyone says or does anything remotely transphobic or otherwise harmful to, you know, actual unsimulated people

SCOOP: Apple Quietly Made ICE Agents a Protected Class Internal emails show tech giant used anti-hate-speech rules meant for minorities to block an app documenting immigration enforcement.

If β€œwe” decide certain people don’t matter, and that lets β€œus” take back the govt, the govt will still be controlled by fascists who deny other people’s humanity when it suits them.

If that’s your strategy, maybe fuck off and go hang with the rest of the bigots and fascists.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

*the type of fuckup you make, learn from, ban the account that posted publicly available information that you found personally embarrassing, refer to them as a harassment bot from that point forward, and move on

You probably continue to take shit over it because you BANNED THE USER WHOSE BOT POSTED IT AND CONTINUE TO FALSELY LABEL THEM A HARASSMENT BOT BECAUSE THEY SHARED PUBLIC INFO

Your own actions are what drive it still being a thing

I've been lucky enough to spend time around two of the smartest animals people eat -- pigs and octopus.

Tako isn't on my sushi order anymore, but there's plenty of pork in my freezer.

Serious question: what’s the value in migrating if Blacksky is still under the bsky moderation umbrella (as evidenced by the Link ban)?

have been debating migration but very confused on this point

The confusion and anger around this, misplaced though it ultimately seems to be, says so much about how badly @jay.bsky.team and team have burned through all trust and presumption of good faith we used to have in this platform.

It'll take a *lot* of work to rebuild that, if they even care to.

Saw a great sculpture someone made out of plastic trash and other bits of discarded refuse. Truly amazing workmanship, very creative. Beautiful, even.

As a supporter of the arts, then, I emphatically recommend we generate as much plastic trash as possible

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Jay Graber Confuses the Gas and Brake Pedals As your new Head of Comms I advise you to please stop posting this shit.

if you've been curious about the vague sense of conflict between the bluesky team and users of this service (which I will cop to feeding into without fully explaining), this post should catch you up nicely

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
