I tried to make BlueSky a thing for me, but it just hasn't worked out

Whoever gets to be the new Pope I hope they go on Hot Ones

Speaking of movies, I recommend going to the biggest best screen in town and watching SINNERS

The new Tom Cruise movie is a MIILF

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

If HR 22 "SAVE Act" passes this week, we're toast.

Unless there's some kind of way that I'm not aware of, that defends ourselves against that magnitude of voter suppression. I'd love to hear about it, if so.

I don't know if we can win elections anymore if the "SAVE Act" passes.

The universe is 13.8 Billion years old today, March 26.

Happy birthday, universe!

You added an Atlantic Editor to an illegal group chat of senior naitional security officials and the vice president who shared bombing plans for air strikes in Yemen.

I have, and will again!

Couple months ago I made a Lou Reed playlist that hot damn is so good for a night drive to Boston

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.

There are now forbidden terms in federally funded medical and science documents.

BERNIE SANDERS: Vaccines do not cause autism. Do you agree?

RFK Jr: As I said, I'm not going into HHS with any preordained--

SANDERS: I asked you a simple question, Bobby

RFK Jr: If you show me those studies ...

SANDERS: That is a very troubling response

I love The Beatles. (I just wanted to kinda blow the mind of me from 20+ years ago)

Be nosy that's ok!

Trump announces 500B in AI funding. Five days ago.

Deepseek r1 release. 8 days ago.

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M.

Beautiful.

Ha right on, I mean yeah, that's not the kind of info I'm using it for, because I'd suspect that would be inaccurate.
Also, to your question "is it that much better?" I wasn't meaning to suggest that it's better, I really haven't used any ai enough to make a reasonable comparison

Also tbc I didn't mean to suggest that I'm using it as a google replacement, only as a helpful alternative when I needing information that, say, it can provide in list form and I know it will be accurate enough for my needs

when you say "it," are you referring to chatgpt/open ai, or have you tried deepseek?

As a person with a very scattered adhd-riddled mind, it's helping me organize my thoughts and plans, and supplying me with info instantly that would take much longer and be tedious to google

One way I started undermining the Broligarchy last night is I downloaded the new AI app Deepseek, made in China, completely free, and reportedly 50X more powerful than ChatGPT (which requires subscription fees to operateat full capacity). It's been very helpful to me so far!

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

Occupying a lot of surreal estate in my mind lately are the films of David Lynch (including Twin Peaks: The Return) and the show Severance
