TL;DR - if you have a chat overlay in OBS, set it to filter out html links. They don’t need to be reproduced onscreen anyway.

It’s the most accepting environment I’ve ever experienced. A fun vacation with super friendly and inclusive people? YES PLEASE!

This seems like excellent inspiration for a modern day fantasy short involving a hexed keyboard and demons. (You could even keep the duplicate A’s in the text.). 😁

Super useful. I figure a lot of us here in the Sky know this stuff already, but it might be handy to hand to parents, grandparents and pals who are less technically minded. www.librarian.net/NoToAI/

Over on Whatever, I talk about the legit business email I got that was written with "AI," why I thought it meant the sender's domain was hacked by scammers, and why using "AI" in business emails automatically lumps you in with scammers and frauds. Don't do it! whatever.scalzi.com/2026/06/11/p...

Hey @theverge.com is there any way to keep this from CONSTANTLY popping up? I have hit "No, Thanks" a million times and it keeps asking on every article. A toggle in the sub settings or just remembering my choice would be nice! Or maybe add a "No, Dammit!" option that will stop it from asking again?

@scalzi.com I’m getting Amazon ads for your next book on third party websites (it’s all good because it’s an ad for something I actually want) but look at the book image they’re including. Hopefully this is just a one off but thought I would share.

Screencapnof an online ad for Scalzi’s next book but the image is for another author.

Very reminiscent of the first year of Twitter. Bluesky needs their version of the fail whale.
