Bard spotting on Bluesky 24 August 2024

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Americans are used to laws like Section 230 & the DMCA that provide Safe Harbours for User Content Hosting ISP's against the torts & crimes their users carry out using their services.

Those laws are

☑️ Not International

And

☑️ Not Absolute

and

☑️ Purely Civil

Durov deserves jailtime

Alex Newhouse (@alexbnewhouse.bsky.social):

hey y'all if you're thinking about doing this, just don't do it. telegram is rotten even by social media standards and durov has gleefully refused to comply with efforts to crack down on literal terrorism, child exploitation, and crime

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I would hazard a guess that France is going to prove the Complicity charge & by extension the other charges against Durov using data subpoenaed / scooped from the advertisements Telegram was running against the channels engaged in the primary crimes.

that 45-64, keeps coming up, and what the christ, like X sucks that hard now? when the frick did that happen?

Dave (@daveamp.bsky.social):

Who looks at this figure and thinks the interesting story about Gen Z is the men?

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

They were 35-54 age bracket when Trump announced his candidacy 10 years ago, and 20-40 age bracket when 9/11 happened. Sunk cost fallacy / cultural PTSD

daryl "no working or jorking 😔" bartley 🏳️⚧️ (@hypercubexl.bsky.social):

I'm in that range and know a lot of people who also are and none of them are republicans?? I guess it's cause I fricked up and am poor and wouldn't have republican friends of any age, I just never thought of that cohort as that badly right, especially compared to other ages

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

You're in her DMs

She's in my dreeeeeams 💕

you're in her dms, she's in me

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

And now we are at Club Hel, where previously I'd passed over the implications of naming The Merovingian's wife

Persephone

Which implies that The Merovingian is Hades.

(And that Persephone is aspectually Inanna, as Persephone's journey to the Underworld is responsible for seasonal cycles.)

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Watching the second movie, I am thinking now that Smith is coded both as Hate and as a virus, and as Cancer — the code for apoptosis for Smith is turned off, over-ridden.

The second movie seems like "let's explore all these subtexts, and get a lot of kung fu".

Agent Smith is Hate.

Which makes his creator — The Architect — also Hate.

The Architect is clean, sanitised, salonfahige Hate. Institutional Hate. Plausibly Deniable Hate.

But Hate, nevertheless

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I still think the bad CGI was deliberate, a kind of visual Wilhelm Scream, a metatextual indicator that Smith was overtaxing the rendering capabilities of the underlying hardware such that it had to drop the number of polygons to keep up realtime framerates

Britain Hater (@edithcharles.bsky.social):

THUNDERRRRRR ⛈️

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Thunderr is human; thundforgive, divine

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Woke up from a dream that a bowl of soup was $6415.00

Have been reading too much about hyperinflated currency design

Kiraculous the Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):

someone distract me for 30 minutes

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Three minutes left!

Kiraculous the Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):

10 minutes left til we go to the pharmacy

Robin Hermann (@tudorstuart.bsky.social):

1. When Taran finds Dyrnwyn in Annuvin and kills the Cauldron-Born with it.

2. "Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen."

3. "You are free, Tenar. You were taught to be a slave, but you have broken free."

4. When Corwin regenerates his eyes.

Daniel M. Ford (@soundingline.bsky.social):

Okay SFF fans, set aside "Horns. Horns of the north, wildly blowing." What is your favorite punch the air FRICK YEAH moment in a book? Or CHILLS moment?

One of mine: Lord of Chaos, Book 6 of WOT. Perrin to the wolves

They have caged Shadowkiller

Wolves

We come, brother. We come.

Jon Phillips (@jowiph.bsky.social):

I can never hear "Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen" in anything other than the silly voice from the Dune redub video:

DUNE Re-Dub

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

That is hilarious 😂

Jon Phillips (@jowiph.bsky.social):

I love the Lynch Dune but I can't watch it anymore without hearing the voices from this video. And I kind of think that's ok.
