A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Finally, there's an *economic* coin-trick: "AI will destroy jobs." Sure, yes, AI is destroying jobs. But there's a vast difference between "You got fired because an AI can do your job" and "You got fired because your boss was convinced that the AI can do your job, even though it *cannot*." 45/

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

"I don't understand why you, a fantasy writer, don't appreciate the value of making bargains with the fae."

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

For today’s antidote to the horrors, I recommend watching gold-medal-winning Eliza McCartney addressing the NZ commonwealth games team in te reo Māori www.instagram.com/reel/Dbhr2mR...

I am in the funniest possible situation I am trying to go see The Odyssey but may not get there because of transportation delays

"I consider information should be a free commodity available to humanity at large... charging for it is, in my respectful view, petty"

Man look how civil everyone is being to Henry while tearing his thoughts to shreds, NZ climate & energy policy bsky is so nice

Welcome to Bluesky 💙🦋

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

PCR ➡️ "what's that stuff floating on those geothermal pools?" warfarin ➡️ "hey why do the cattle grazing on sweet clover keep dying of internal bleeding?" GFP ➡️ "how do you think those jellyfish glow?" CRISPR ➡️ "hey, why do you think these bacteria have repeating palindromic DNA sequences?"

Wouldn’t it be great if Winston Peters’ own words could apply to Winston Peters 🤔

I believe he has a blog written and I just preempted him in publication 😅 But yes. Neither of us are arguing for our own piece of the pie, but for an EXCELLENT pie that will satisfy all pie enthusiasts….

I've said before, the internet is really only useful for two things: 1. pictures of cats 2. pornography This is why furries are everywhere, running the internet and all. They're able to use the internet far more efficiently than anthropotypicals, since for them #1 and #2 can be the same thing
