I haven't been using Bluesky as much lately (I installed an app that makes me watch a 30 second ad whenever I'm about to doomscroll) but I want to promote my friends' Kickstarter. I've been lucky enough to play versions of this game, and I can tell you that it's a lot of fun even when you lose.

If you disagree, say so. Complete the sentence "I believe my allyship should be contingent on others' praise because..."

The NYT has devoted itself to the extermination of trans people. If my family and friends devoted themselves to my destruction, I think it would be fair to avoid them. If you disagree, be explicit. Say "I, Sanbrunamo, believe trans people should allow others to exterminate them because..."

I have a job where I work with university students. Most of them are fine, a few of them are jerks, just like every other group of people. My only complaint is that apparently younger people are so used to auto-save that they aren't in the habit of saving their work when typing on a laptop.

She's not giving a thumbs up. She's pointing at the fine print.
Different angle of the add shown in the previous post. The woman is giving a thumbs up, and the fine print just happens to be above where her thumb is pointing.

What is the point of these ads? "You can use your iPhone in the rain, but actually, no you can't"?
A large billboard featuring a woman holding an iPhone to take a photo while standing in the rain in front of a soccer net. The text on the ad says "Relax, it's iPhone".The fine print in the upper right corner of the ad says "Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may decrease as a result of normal wear. Liquid damage is not covered by warranty."

Sam Altman has said he envisions a world in which people pay for cognition like a utility, which implies money will still be necessary. Will I still have to pay rent and apply for jobs? Because of so, the post-singularity world sounds pretty much like business as usual.

A few of my favourites: - A middle-aged woman who runs a laundromat does her taxes. - A politician attempts to destroy the Los Angeles transit system. - Some guys go on an adventure to look at a black rectangle.

A friend of mine for 10+ years has been having some financial difficulties. She's unfailingly friendly and a better artist than she gives herself credit for, so it’s dismaying to learn that she’s struggling and I figured I should do what I can to help her out.

I mean, I read the first Sawyer Lee, if that counts. I also started reading PG Wodehouse novels partly because you kept mentioning them.

Depends on how "audience friendly" it is. They like comics, short animated films, and visually striking art. More complex stuff can be a bit of an acquired taste, e.g. I wouldn't rely on them to read a novel or a long work of poetry.

They say hotdogs come in packs of 10 but buns come in packs of 12. To make sure you don't have any hot dogs or buns left over, probably best to make it 60.

The Kuleshov effect is a film editing effect demonstrated by Russian film-maker Lev Kuleshov in the 1910s and 1920s. It is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation.
The classic "Kuleshov Effect" image featuring shots of a man with a neutral expression alternated with images of MilkyKau's drawings to suggest that he is reacting to each image.
