Three formative events for me as a young woman in the 1990s were all centered on Americans absolutely trashing different women for different circumstances: Anita Hill, Monica Lewinsky, and Chelsea Clinton.

This sounds like an incredible event! 🌟 So excited to see such talented queer SFF authors come together! Can't wait for the magic! 🥳✨ #WritersWithDrinks #QueerSFF

I’m definitely going to watch this Hannah Arendt documentary now streaming on PBS.

Arendt was a political theorist who coined the phrase “banality of evil,” which inspired the famous Milgram experiments into how every day people could suppress their own morals in the face of authority.

Hello (again) Bluesky! I’m going to start posting here again, because that other app has become a disaster.

But first, I want to introduce myself. My name is Tina Smith, and I’m a proud United States Senator for Minnesota… ⬇️

my black cat with white powder on his nose

Sometimes Aces disappears for hours at a time, then reappears with white stuff on his nose. A friend thinks he's doing coke in a secret kitty disco under the bed. Bad cat!

Three guitars resting on a red couch. The wood of their bodies is highly figured, wavy grained redwood with clear lacquer finish.

The same three guitars, but showing their backs. The M2C's back has a large area of epoxy resin inlay covering pest-eaten parts of the redwood body.

All together for the first time. These three guitars' bodies are all cut from the same slab of redwood. From left to right, a baritone tele, snakehead tele, and Model 2C.

The last Millennial.

North American bird declines are driven by reductions in common species Declines in North American birds are driven not by rare species vanishing but by sharp losses among formerly common species.

🐦 Bird losses driven by common species declines

A major new study finds North America's bird decline is not just about rare species, it is the common birds that are disappearing fastest, mostly due to land-use change.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

my favorite bluesky arguments are the long drawn-out ones where person a responds via direct reply and person b exclusively answers through quote-posts. it's like seeing two people arguing on the street with one person facing sideways and shouting into the open door of a baskin robbins

Try and come for my marriage, you goons. Just try.

It's unbalanced, and so is he.

Batman is home and resting. His procedure went well, and though he's in a cone, he seems very happy to be home. Thank you all for the good thoughts!!! 🖤🦇
