@rvaughnmd There were endless ads across all media - web, tv, radio, magazines, when sports betting was making its way to North Carolina. It was disgusting how greedy it all was and is
Director Jorge Gutierrez’s vision was to have finished film look similar to traditional concept artwork which is why it looks very exaggerated compared to what people have come to expect from North American animation #MusComEnt#DiaDeMuertos#TheBookOfLife#JorgeGutierrez
Hold your fire, scolds. People coming here (or coming back) from Bluesky now are doing so for the right reasons. Giving them the HOA welcome or I-told-you-so’s is exactly why they were there and not here in the first place.
I’m constantly amused by the idea that we will invent AGI and AI will solve all of our problems. We don’t need AGI to solve our problems, even ChatGPT can already tell us obvious solutions to our current problems.
We already have good answers on how to reduce gun violence, infant mortality or climate change. The problem is too many people have a vested interest in the problems being unsolved. It isn’t because we haven’t invented smarter than human AI. When we do, we’ll ignore it too.
…lastly, thanks for your patience. this year has been way too much. i've had almost no time to work on new Feditext features for, well, two beta expirations now, or six months. but i still use it daily and don't particularly want to stop.
Q8. I still haven't figure out what to do with these #BikeNite stickers. How can I send them out? What if I put up an "order form" for stickers a listed them for sale just at their cost + actual shipping costs?
Or is there a better way? Or if these are too silly and nobody wants them, that's ok too 😆
"Remember, the #fascists want you to feel afraid, exhausted, and helpless. They want you to spend all of your time watching it unfold while you struggle to keep up with the tsunami. It is intentional. It keeps you from taking action. It allows them to undergo their terror unopposed."
The team that developed and marketed the city's new deposit system for takeaway coffee cups understands humans. They understand that we are tired of digital coercion.
As much as I want pixelfed and loops to be great, I'm struggling with the MVP right now.
In pixelfed app on Android it has 2 annoying limits, half of the comment text is cut off, and there is seemingly no good way to browse two important things... Hashtags/ searches and user profile pics. It's either a collage or one, back one...
Also I can't just go into my existing follow list on this acct and import it, and then cooly look at photos, I can't seem to get it to open that list or follow...
1. HM PB 1:29:37 2. 5 km PB 19:33 3. 10 km PB 40:33 4. Completed an Ultra (66.8 km) 5. Seeing unusual wildlife and amazing views
The thing I’m still chasing is 3500 km total for the year. Sidelined with illness this week but back running today. Quite a few kms to go 🥵 and not much time left! Will update if I make it! #runnersofmastodon
"As one commenter put it: “Why on earth would you brag to your users that you've partnered with a bunch of protofascists? You want us all to leave or what?”
The real question is why are Timothy Snyder, Simon Rosenberg and a host of other progressive activists still are on Substack? Why is the courage of their convictions so difficult to muster?
