When we are not at home or work, we are at the physical therapy office.

I didn't die?!?!

Between the controller and my pain meds I'll find the Chief sometime next weekend but at least I wasn't trampled.

I've played through on console I don't know how many times but opted to not fuss w/ regions when I moved home so i've been playing a gifted Steam copy.

This game is a top 3 way to dissociate but the controller is cursed beyond all reprogramming. I'mma bout to try a Tallneck under these conditions.

Too early to take my regular pain meds again, but I'm home and in my jammies and finally ready to have my rescheduled meltdown all hopped up in the good pain meds and Horizon Zero Dawn until I get comfortable enough to sleep.

Fucking hell.

Last reskeet, despite my oil stained white footie socks (barefoot in the middle of the street cause sure why not) I could go for a very little bit as long as I jumped with both feet.

Never could do the turns and the side-to-side.

Children's Toys Are Shipping With Adult AI Inside Them Despite banning minors from using their chatbots, AI companies are happy to let their models be used in children's toys.

New report β€œsuggests that leading AI companies are doing little to police how developers who pay for access to their AI models are using them. One consequence, the group warns, is that AI toymakers can ship products to children that are powered by AI models that are only intended for adults.”

Abandoning your fellow Caribbean people because the US said so, the US who will not help you when necessary seems like a bad idea

I for one am shocked to discover that the internet’s favorite Oscar chasing Victorian child is kind of a twat.

I don't know, but as a Black woman, I'm absolutely not about to beg them to include me.

Y'all might wanna do the same.

I was starting to feel my feelings and remembered I am not off the clock yet.

A good night, but the weekend finally going how I want means EYE will be swaddled for the next few business days. 🀞🏾🀞🏾

Yes I wanted to make sure I wasn't blocking someone I already had a relationship with/neutral account because a lot is unclear to me at present. Went ahead and blocked anyway.

Yes. The little sun that tells you an account is new and when you mouse over it tells you how new? The account moving weird was marked as having joined Blacksky 5 minutes before it started folllwing me.

It's especially hard to do when you're tired or distracted but when I say we have to do better about not amplifying unverified info because it matters more than ever I absolutely mean me too.

I did verify Emirates shutting down all flights was real but I realized after the fact that I'd shared a "BREAKING" with no link because I thought that AFP account was legit. It may be but here's where you can actually read what's "breaking."

Thinking about this latter group all week - the thousands of African young people sold dreams of employment in the Gulf, often by their own government. Already some of the most precarious existences in the legal world now stuck in a war they don’t understand, in languages they don’t speak.

The second leaves in the small hours of the morning. These are mostly young people in matching uniforms who still have sleep in their eyes. The print declares the company that arranged their travel and employment. They are uncertain and confused - for most it’s their first time at an airport.

There are two blocks of flights that leave East Africa for the Gulf. One leaves in the mid morning, usually ferrying holiday makers on their way from their safaris or on their way to Dubai, people returning home using the cheaper ticket. They walk through the airport confidently.

If you don't have red lines you're not a leader. You're a custodian of a world order built by bloodthirsty racists and you stand for nothing but the continuation of their ideals

One person "animation studios" are a huge red flag because that just requires an enormous amount of work. The content of the video itself was plausible but the pfp was suspish so I dug a bit and it was right there.

I'd hate to block a mutual who only appears brand new, but a 5 minute old profile suddenly reposting all my skeets is an automatic NAW.

I'm doing my best to only block when I can see a whole profile because my app view and moderation are still completely fucked.

Based on what I saw about backfilling, can anyone confirm that won't affect whether or not an account appears 5 minutes old? @moderation.blacksky.app
