It just occurred to me that this app doesn’t have a stupid baby man-child at the helm, suppressing Substack links. So I’m going to start sharing some pieces from the archive, starting with this little short story I wrote. open.substack.com/pub/emilynev...

Dude I saw you autosave before walking up to me whats up man we cool

if you haven't seen any photos of what the US used to look like before the clean air/water acts, you should take 30 seconds for a quick image search

Know that libraries count things. How many people have cards, how many times a book or DVD or CD is checked out, etc. And then we take those numbers to our internal staff and say "look, people want this" to justify purchases, and then to local govts to say "look, we need to stay open".

For more, here's our investigation with @drilledmedia.bsky.social:

I really do not like the expression “hug your neck”

Mona Khalil, Lebanon’s most well-known sea turtle conservationist, died of her wounds today after being injured by an Israeli strike I feel sick

I’ve decided never to worry about anything ever again

HELP I DECIDED TO BE VULNERABLE ONLINE

Counterpoint: They will never be cost-effective and the entire premise is flawed. First, the idea of "space is cold so cooling costs will be cheaper" doesn't work because that's not how thermodynamics works. Second, the latency would kill any high-speed use case.

Oh this is interesting. In a Japanese fan magazine from 1993, Nintendo confirmed Yoshi throws big white turds instead of eggs. The chalky color comes from a calcium supplement he takes because he is dying.

I think I’m entering my Lieutenant-Dan-in-the-hurricane era

There's no doubt that both Coco and Tartah have great potential for their futures. #WitchHatAtelier @hereliesanjali.bsky.social @eneveswrites.bsky.social

Thanks to Coco's reversed Earth spell, Tartah was able to find a solution to what he's looking for in spite of his Silverwash. @eneveswrites.bsky.social sure put a lot of heart into this. #WitchHatAtelier

Now this, @eneveswrites.bsky.social and @hereliesanjali.bsky.social nailed. Tartah struggles to find the medicine for Coco's condition because of his Silverwash, so the latter has a spell that will help him find it. #WitchHatAtelier

It's not the kind of question you thought it's going to be, Qifrey! #WitchHatAtelier @joshuawaters.bsky.social @eneveswrites.bsky.social

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

Gorgeous illustrations; beautiful introduction to a classic. Great addition to any #library collection. Hand it to those who want to reread HP. Fascinating to read this in tandem with Le Guin’s translation of the Tao Te Ching. So many ideas cross populate. #Booksky #GraphicNovel #WizardOfEarthsea

I maintain that "normie" is one of the worst insults there is because everyone has different standards for what a normie is and it is always, Always devastating to be called one

“We’re not here for trouble… we’re just here to see our family members.” Outside Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark on Day 4 of the hunger strike, a 10-year-old whose father is detained inside confronts masked guards, asking why they won’t show their faces. WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social LIVE ⬇️

Look I am a 43-year-old woman and I have puffs under my eyes and crow’s feet and laugh lines and thank the gods bc that means THESE FKRS HAVE NOT KILLED ME YET

The heat of summer has hit Gaza like a hammer, and rats and roaches are multiplying in the ruins of the city and making food and clean shelter even harder to find. Please give whaht you can to help. chuffed.org/project/1575...

Oh damn, I didn't expect this from @eneveswrites.bsky.social! Tartah suffers from Silverwash. He's colorblind, and he'd have no chance of becoming a witch. #WitchHatAtelier @hereliesanjali.bsky.social

😭 Kyle! Thank you so much!

Every three weeks there’s a video of the CEO of Deepmind saying something insane about how we’re 5 years from AGI, and if you respond saying he sounds like an idiot someone says “umm that’s SIR Demis Hassabis? He won a Nobel peace prize?” Like you realize somebody can get that and still sound dumb

"When they are in school, reduced class time means they're only taught half of the required curriculum." "9% of students have dropped out in the last two years." "Some of the teachers are passing through checkpoints daily." #WestBank #Palestine #Israel #Labour #Education

David Graeber wrote back in 2013, A practical utopians guide to the coming collapse. This is a quote from the piece. davidgraeber.org/articles/a-p...

Greg Abbott threatened to pull $530,000 from a Texas city unless it canceled a private Eid celebration at a rented water park. Conservatives saw that it was an event intended for Muslims and lost their minds. The threats worked. The event was canceled. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/a-private-...

this looks like an extra tough captcha test

[Mamdani does a photo op with a child] aw yeah socialism, turns out you can just do things [Mamdani’s police beat protesters into a bloody pulp] listen the mayor has no real power actually, the mayor is helpless like a baby bird

Sometimes I really can’t believe that the state of Texas is in danger of running out of water bc our elected officials are selling it to oil and gas and AI companies; meanwhile, said officials are doing stupid bullshit like investigating 10-commandments-display compliance in public schools.

Millennials and Gen Xers may recognize this song as the main title of "The Adventures of Pete & Pete". But what Polaris didn't dare tell Nickelodeon, for fear of losing the gig, is that the song is about the Kent State massacre. The titular "Sandy" is Sandra Lee Scheuer.

A survivor of the Kent State Massacre rings the bell on campus today, May 4, at exactly 12:20, the moment his classmates fell, 56 years ago.

this would fix us

This flight made yet another stop, to the Republic of Georgia, that I hope was just for fuel but was probably also a deportation. Meaning people would’ve been shackled for 50+ hours. Longest one I’ve recorded this year. (The longest I’ve ever recorded is 82 hours, in December.)
