Kevin @genius-degenerate.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I started a rewatch of Battlestar Galactica (2003) to have something to listen to while crocheting a blanket, because I'm young and hip, that's why. I know it eventually goes clean off the rails, but the miniseries slaps. Killer performances up and down the line. And the anti-AI sentiment...oof. 000

On one end of the spectrum is negligence. You did not know about or intend the consequence but did do it. Legally, an oopsie daisy. 110
