This time of year, I remember I wrote this story about the devil and his boyfriend. I think it has nice autumn vibes. 😈🧔

@ilanaslightly.bsky.socialReposted by @lawrenceschimel.bsky.socialGlad this is being reported because I feel like we all knew it was happening but no one was admitting it openly yet. I fucking hate this so fucking much.

@somewhattolerable.comReposted by @lawrenceschimel.bsky.socialOMG I was sorting through some old bookmarks and clicked on the Smithsonian Zoo's Cheetah Cam link which I hadn't active in a long time. It turns out they have a cheetah who just had cubs on 10/5 and they are so cute. They're on the Den 1 stream right now.
@scalzi.comReposted by @lawrenceschimel.bsky.socialWhat I like about Bluesky is that Ukraine's bombing of the Russian Bots has no effect on traffic here, we all blocked those bots long ago

@exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialReposted by @lawrenceschimel.bsky.socialPeople block words and phrases related to things they don't want to see on Bluesky. Sometimes these are genuinely triggering things; sometimes it's just preference. Include a pic with no alt text, and you're forcing them to see blocked content.

@perevaa.bsky.socialReposted by @lawrenceschimel.bsky.socialAnd now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services.
Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

"[An AI entity] that passes itself off as Indigenous is just another form of colonialism and erasure,” she said.
