My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

(AI actually has been used in science and medicine for decades and is incredibly good at doing things like finding cancer that can’t be seen with the human eye but that is a completely different type of AI then we’re all angry about it and we shouldn’t discuss them in the same conversations TBH)

So aligned with this. So much cool stuff that is coming in the near term. But I refuse to use GenAI

At King's Cross and there is still a queue to get photos at "Platform 9 3/4" I just don't understand how people can still support such a hatefilled person

This is exactly the type of thread that makes Bluesky so wonderful to me. Great explanation of a complex problem...whilst also laughing at Trump!

There are lots of reasons, historical and contemporary, to dislike the UK... but I don't think finding out we use the word "Diary" instead of "Calendar" is really worth the hatred

A Bluesky post saying "I mean, fair... haha, but god I hate the UK so much."

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

A much-liked post by Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com with the titles “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student” and the caption “They don’t want to get blamed again“
