air conditioner implies existence of air shampoo

Second best, look at that chonk.

I must have taken around 50 squirrel photos today, but that one might be my favourite. 🐿️

Someone asked me if there is a page that collects all the weird bullshit "AI" products currently being pushed to the market. That page exists. It's called linkedin dot com. But nobody there knows that they are in the asylum.

on this special day it seems appropriate to repost this

there’s no law against telling someone their cyber truck isn’t bulletproof and watching what happens next

these are words of exquisite violence

Idk if me reposting could help you, I have a decent number of followers but only a fraction of what I post gets responses soo... Only know a handful of other people in UK so not much else I can do.

Sounds rough. Nobody you can stay with as backup plan? I'm also out of a job myself for now, slim margins here.

Broke as fuck, and on the verge of becoming homeless, unless I can find £1000, by tomorrow. Looks like friends, family, and loan sharks can't help me, at this point, short of some miracle happening...

Everybody knows that Soviet sent a dog named Laika in space Few know it was later followed by two similar dogs, Shara and Subscriba.

Don't stop me now, I'm on a roll

I'm not a very smart person but here's my big prediction for how AI is going to affect creative endeavors: we are going to start seeing a bunch of AI shit trotted out and it is going to be VISCERALLY unpleasant. People are going to bounce off of it like wile e coyote and a brick wall

Looks like I've finally arrived, in that elite club, of invitation-havers! Let's see, if the friend that I gave it to, decides to join the BlooSkee side...

Oh, they take your credit card so I’m sure they’ll be very liberal to charge $500 tho I guess if you used a prepaid Visa it might be tougher

I weirdly don’t hate the design of https://www.freetelly.com but what I do hate is the implication that all my data and surveillance can be bought for a TV valued at $500. Look, Google knows everything about me but they’ve given me tons of “value” at least.

I write a lot about misinformation in science. When our leading society journal perpetuates it, that's a big problem because other media outlets follow their lead. Here's NPR: https://www.npr.org/2023/05/14/1176062276/fake-studies-in-academic-journals-may-be-more-common-than-previously-thought

Aaw, so they don't want the inevitable request, to change "Post", to "Skeet". I'm sure that someone's going to try, anyway, though...

Thinking that the future of "Elon-free", less-toxic, higher-quality SNSes is going to be interesting. I'm sure we'll end up with "VHS, vs. BetaMax", but having more options, and players validates the idea of decentralised communications platforms, so let the race begin!

Guess what? You can rebuild the Bluesky app without writing much code because we just open sourced the code for this app. Why are we doing this? Because we are philosophically open-source... We believe sharing = more people building WITH us.

nontechnical version: this is a big deal + huge step for transparency! most companies keep their code private/proprietary, but bc ours is public, you can literally see every implementation (how we make buttons blue, how mute lists work, etc) & what we're working on at any given moment

alright folks, the app code is now public https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app

You are clever, you are resourceful - you're going to go out there and solve that bug

If y’all are following the Sarah Jane Comrie bike freak out, don’t forget to check out her WebMD reviews 💀😂

A Möbius strip walks into a bar, sobbing. The bartender asks, “What’s wrong, buddy?” The Möbius strip replies, “Where do I even begin?”

My Bluesky posts now have an RSS feed, thanks to John Spurlock. https://rss.firesky.tv/?filter=%40davew It's got stuff that Mastodon's RSS feed doesn't. This is awesome.

As you get excited about Bluesky, think about where you are in the five stages of early adopter behavior. 1. Discovery 2. Evangelism 3. Mainstream Use 4. Entitlement 5. Abandonment Everybody starts in 1 and 2. 2008 Post: https://www.louisgray.com/2008/06/five-stages-of-early-adopter-behavior.html

I’ve mostly been testing SkyBridge with Ivory but I am happy to see other clients like Elk seem to kinda work also

This is a great resource; but also, these accounts aren’t “just” annoying content farms — they’re the foundation on which systemic platform manipulation is built. Eventually, they’re resold and repurposed. There’s no good solution except banning them from the network.

As a Nigerian toddler in poverty, fell and scratched her eye badly. Got infected. Grandpa walked to a free clinic 16+ miles away. Dr said "Lucky you brought her! She would've lost the eye!" Mom said, "I almost lost an eye just because I'm poor?! This system sucks!" She's an Opthalmic surgeon now.

I tried to write something on Twitter Blue Mindset and how things are over there right now and wound up way upriver. https://defector.com/burning-down-the-house

Whenever I’m in a bad mood, I watch videos of big stupid pickup trucks being taken away by the ocean and I immediately feel much better https://wildwoodvideoarchive.com/truck-stuck-in-n-wildwood-surf/

If Twitter went away, Americans will still enjoy extraordinary freedom of expression, online & off. But if Twitter doesn't protect the speech of the rest of humanity when authoritarians demand tweets be removed, from Iran to India to Turkey, Elon Musk will have silenced billions.

hey marine biology Bluesky: what are these things we found on the beach in Cape Cod (there are tons of them)

Finally, the BlueSky Timeline Mixer!

"Moe Skeet-O" should definitely be a mascot, of BlueSky, too, come to think of it...

Either that, or the "SkeetBoard"...

Thinking that someone should invent "IceSkeets", and "RollerSkeets", that automatically post, when the wearer falls, or trips over, whilst sportsing...

what — where are all these genres, i want to hear them tag yourself, i’m “treewave”

Wondering how often, the graph at https://bsky.jazco.dev is updated, given that the stats are now 2 days out of date...
