20 y/o me would be both impressed and disappointed. Impressed by my career progression and how close to publishing I am

Disappointed because 20 y/o me was still neck deep in MAGA territory and didnt see the BS yet. Current me would be seen as a socialist by then me

I use QWANT on PC and DuckDuckGo on mobile. I do much of my image searching on mobile and DDG’s “no ai” filtering does a decent job. QWANT doesnt have that feature but does try to not pull from Ai pages

I use Vivaldi as my browser too

To all the folks frustrated by Google and how they have ruined their own search with genAI slop:

I cannot stress enough that there are other search engines out there. They offer little-to-no genAI slop*. Are they AMAZING? No, but they are passable, workable options.

Me about to get -5000 social credit because I told a bunch of Ai bros that they’re “Toe suckers” & “deluded doom-sayers with zero personal responsibility skills”

the people crave bluesky social credit scores
Aaron Roderick deleted post A big goal of mine is to have aggregate scores for account toxicity. Some folks drag down the quality of the conversation and drive users off this site. We'll get there by calculating how often someone is toxic, and eventually move to restricting their visibility to broader accounts.

Saw that shit coming from a mile away. Sweeney adores GenAi and has done so publicly for years

Always hated this game for many different reasons but now I get to add “GenAi Toe Sucker” to the list

Sell your book in 5 words:

Nervous wreck breaks a curse.
The full spread of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. Cover art description: The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them. A dark, ruined house lingers in the background Blurb: There is a witch hiding in the trees of Hatwick Wood. They are a steward of the wood, caring for the alders, maples, and cedar within, watching over the home of the beasts and birds. The people who survive on the generosity of Hatwick Wood—every denizen from Farbreak at the south edge to Northpost on the opposite side—respects the witch. Everyone knows the witch is the forest caretaker, and if anything ever went wrong, they need to be found to mend it. When Hatwick Wood is cursed, the witch must be found. It is up to Milo Ashton, an unremarkable member of the Ashton hunting clan, to venture into the cursed forest and find the witch. But soon, he is cursed himself. A mysterious hermit named Cam finds him and swears that he can help Milo lift the curse. Milo is torn between the magnetic draw he feels towards Cam and the certainty that Cam is hiding something from him. Milo must find the witch, lift the curse, and reckon with his own feelings before he is consumed by the wood.

The news has been especially bleak lately with like the future of careers and stuff and the big panic of “will I be able to stay being a freelance artist” has returned like a punch to the face.

Just a quick picture of the red fox and grey wolf tails together to show the difference between the two patterns!

🦊 bigger proportionally, and fluffier too!

🐺 more sleek and has a ridge on the bottom side

Rabies is lethal
First sign of symptoms lethal
Rabies is stupid easy to spread
Rabies kills EVERYTHING

Do not chance your life, your family’s or your pet’s life. Period.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.

May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.

This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.

Vaccinate your pets please.
Worries about vaccination rates in dogs As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners - becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

The National Weather Service is proceeding with renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America in all forecast products and maps. These sort of changes require extensive coding time for NOAA and NWS personnel to implement across so many different products that regularly reference them.

Work is underway to update naming conventions as quickly as possible on online maps, weather products, websites and other materials across the NWS. Caution will be exercised to avoid disruptions to operations.
