Smh these Connecticuters calling the Southwick Jog the Southwick Notch

No Escalators@noescalators.bsky.social

For those unaware, the Southwick Jug is named for the Southwick Notch, an area of Connecticut that was STOLEN by the revolting commonwealth of Massachusetts. Now that we have reclaimed the jug, the notch is next.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Call Chuck Schumer and tell him to defend Ilhan Omar publicly or resign. (202) 224-6542

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

I've got a woman in my mentions insisting Chuck Schumer doesn't need to speak out about the president's efforts to strip a Democratic congresswoman of her citizenship because "some people in the House already said something." Oh, word? Then no need for the actual leaders to lead here. My bad.

I am shocked. SHOCKED.

Hello everyone! With the announcement of Tapas closing down by the end of the year, I'm reaching out here to remind everyone if you sent WebcomcWeb a Tapas link, please send me your updated one when you've migrated! I emailed all relevant people, but figured it'd be good to poke here too. Thank you!

Updating the "AI" community's own words for short fiction marketing: Short stories won’t replace humans, but humans who read short stories will replace those who don’t. The true power of short stories lies not in replacing humans, but in working alongside us to achieve what neither can do alone.

Imagine if, instead of regulating drones (which we did!), we instead decided to let drone companies self-regulate, and ALSO dedicated tons of money and time to "problems" like "what if, in 1000 years, hyper-intelligent dogs learn to fly drones into mailmen." This is what we are doing with AI.
