Again @toni.bsky.team , you're expected to uphold this promise by @bsky.app: bsky.app/profile/bsky...

Go back on your word, and this app will crash.

Best to double down on Bluesky's stance against generative Ai tech and reassure that you will lead the company with integrity, not lies and scams.

Great point @ravenqueenhrefna.bsky.social !

You have an uphill battle here @toni.bsky.team . If you push Ai onto @bsky.app and its users, most will ditch the platform.

Data security is a serious matter, and Ai is anything but secure for users.

Thank you @raulmv.bsky.es for your reply.

I still prefer Bluesky over Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Trouble is people still love those platforms for some reason despite how Zuck and Musk have proven too many times over they're not to be trusted.

Still, @toni.bsky.team may just ruin it all on here.

Got some solid picks here for sure!

I'm assuming this is another one on the radar of @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social @aclu.org and @cbldf.bsky.social.

Got a lot of email newsletters about book banning the last couple of years from all of them.

Luke: Kristi Noem... Are Ai images stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the real art from the Ai images?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the real artwork for knowledge and defense, NEVER Ai slop.

It has been a concern of mine that @slotkin.senate.gov staff would simply delete emails and voicemails sent to them without checking.

Hopefully you're right that responding to social media posts works, but maybe they don't even bother checking any of this stuff anymore.

A good reminder that if you want to let @slotkin.senate.gov know you're concerns or frustrations to reach out directly.

Social media is more for awareness to the public, not elected officials. They might check, but never respond on here.

Contact - Senator Elissa Slotkin

A good reminder for anyone who's upset, be sure to contact @slotkin.senate.gov office directly.

Social media is great for raising awareness for constituents, but when it comes to elected officials, they don't really check posts after posting.

There are too many Toyota gems I still don't know enough about.

I'm really hoping that @nathanhamill.bsky.social has explained this.

We know Mark means well, so hopefully, next time, he just posts a photo of the pups.

@memphismanatee.bsky.social Are you sure it's not?

I've been so busy just keeping myself together and pushing forward during this difficult time in my life that I didn't even notice how time has flied.

Five years ago this week, I started working on what is one of the most important projects of my life.

Hope to have your support once it's done.

It brings me to tears every time I watch it. 🥲

That might sound a bit odd to most, but to your point, its visuals and the music chosen are so powerful and vivid that it resonates with me on a very deep level.

It's transcendent enough that we all feel the nostalgia.

OTAKING / Toshio Okada OTAKING(Toshio Okada, July 1, 1958-) is a Japanese producer, critic, writer and businessman. Self-proclaimed geek king. Otakuing representative director. He has served as President and CEO of Gainax ...

A lot of people involved were able to launch their careers this way, including Toshio Okada, who later became the president and CEO of Gainax.

He is still active today on YouTube.

Daicon IV was legendary, but it's Daicon V that set the stage for something truly amazing.

I'm looking forward to sharing the full scoop in detail later this year, but I'll need some support along the way to get there.

LICZ! is BACK! 💥

The Lansing Independent Comics and Zine Fest is a FREE-TO-ATTEND one-day celebration of all kinds of printed matter--hosting over 50+ self-published creators with paper, staplers, and moxie!

And so the cycle continues.

How big are these?

OpenAI alters deal with Pentagon as critics sound alarm over surveillance CEO Sam Altman tried to ease worries about domestic surveillance as opposition builds over rival Anthropic’s labeling as a national security risk.

This story, however, is real:

Therefore:
OpenAi + Pentagon = Weapons of War
OpenAi + Oracle = Data Centers
Data Centers + DTE = Secret Deals + Higher Electric Bills
DTE + Michigan Politics = Corruption

Hey @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, are you seeing a pattern yet?

Then we also have some "publishers" trying to sell booster packs of comics like they're collectible trading cards. The grift never ends...

That's why I'm thankful for true indies and being able to support creators directly. Shoutout self-publishing.

Also, shoutout dollar bins and back issues.

Dark Horse seems to be dusting off as many manga properties that Studio Proteus and Dana Lewis translated to scoop up some extra money.

To me, it feels like a number of publishers are getting desperate with reprints and licensing from popular titles. Very little investment in new titles.

Thank you so much for doing this series because it's helping me get my comic's history fix.

I'm such a sucker for Trencher and Lobo Infanticide.

This is easily my favorite era of Giffen 📚🤘🔥

Now that's pure Michigan!
