I’m always so tempted to shout retorts to street preachers. Even more determined to get myself a loud hailer and do it now…

The *reason* Ai-generated text contains semicolons, en dashes etc. is that experienced, skilful writers use these marks to subtly convey meaning and nuance in their work. And the Ai LLMs have been trained on the stolen work of experienced, skilful writers.

Just read it. Obviously I’m one of the many proud people- congrats! And envious (I’m rewriting AGAIN, still not happy). I’ve always been told that the best way to survive Limbo™️ is to get started on The Next One. Just for the distraction and to move your brain out of the wallowing dregs…😕

I’m sorry what now? I appear to have lost the ability to read the English language, because this makes absolutely no fucking sense.

I think people are forgetting how long SFX/VFX take. Things being in Amazon’s hands likely also allude to that. There are probably MONTHS of work left to do. It’s not just a bit of filming & then done. There’s TONNES of FX work. If you want a good Finale, you want them to spend time on it properly.

Just ten years ago the UK was top of the list - the best place in Europe for LGBT rights. We are now 22nd The only country to drop faster in one year than us is Hungary The government needs to act in a major way before this becomes their entire legacy

Any other hEDS-ers flaring at the moment? I am ✨struggling✨ and trying to work out why because it’s my third major flare up this year - I’d normally only expect one big one by now. Is it just me? #hEDS #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Hypermobility #PainFlareUp #ChronicPain

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

• Al Overview
The idiom "you can't lick a badger twice" means you can't trick or deceive someone a second time after they've been tricked once. It's a warning that if someone has already been deceived, they are unlikely to fall for the same trick again.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
• Licking: "Licking" in this context means to trick or deceive someone.
• Badger: The badger is a wild animal, and the phrase likely originates from the historical sport of badger baiting where dogs were used to harass

April 10, 2024 - a date which will live in infamy. The publication of the Cass Review on that day, endorsed by both Labour and Tory party, has wreaked havoc on the lives of UK trans youth, their families, and the broader trans community. Today, Thembert Cassyouth Day, is for them.

Virtue? 😂 No. But I no longer feel ashamed asking for help in the form of benefits like so many of those supporting these cuts want me to. I paid in when I could. And you really *do* live under a rock.

Maaike (they/them) @maaikeatfmoon.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

There are plenty of industries where people get paid and they never disclose it to HMRC. What rock are you living under? As I said, I’m not sharing my personal details & life with you. Suffice it to say it WILL affect me greatly.

Maaike (they/them) @maaikeatfmoon.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Fair question. Part of my answer is ‘it’s too personal to share right now’ but I’d finally accepted I needed help & applied for LCWRA assessment. This will now happen after the changes, so will affect me. I’ve paid taxes my entire working life including in industries where peers typically didn’t.
