Bard spotting on Bluesky 29 August 2024

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

My body is not a temple, it is a collection of FM synthesiser modules and spaghetti patch cabling amplifying quantum tunnel field-effect signals competing against crapitalist commercial jingles in a cacophony of simulated sentience, carrying a sawtooth enveloped by anxiety, sizzling strange loops

Dr. Mx. They/ThEmpress (aka Errata) (@theythem.press):

My body is not a temple; it is an experimental mech with a reluctant and anxious pilot who has been suddenly thrust into learning how to wield its incredible and devastating power.

Dag. (@3fecta.bsky.social):

No, he was thinking about the rails in a staircase..

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

No, that's a balustrade. He's thinking about a hastily assembled collection of furniture used to close a street

Get up, pupil. You can't let your opponents defeat you.

Dani (@dani-ela-dela.bsky.social):

that was my second option

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Currently D Major for two reasons

• Frick Republicans & Transphobes, and seeing many many others also expressing that sentiment;

• Most of the jigs and hornpipes I'm lining up to learn are in D Major

Róisín 🏳️⚧️ (@roisin.bsky.social):

Tag yourself, I'm C Major

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I used to answer this question with

"Mein Kampf, out loud, in the original German"

I wish I could go back to when that was the answer

Jonathan Bernstein (@jonathanbernstein.bsky.social):

Worst thing you ever read for research purposes?

I have:

*Ross Perot's campaign book

*A ton of Woodrow Wilson speeches

Alexandra Merideth Erin [she/her] - in my Brain Damage arc (@alexandraerin.com):

One of them tells the truth, the other lies.

ruinista (@ruinista.bsky.social):

The curious ladies room situation at one of our local restaurants.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

This is why I can't use public restrooms, because they're both winking at me and I can't handle that pressure

Alexandra Merideth Erin [she/her] - in my Brain Damage arc (@alexandraerin.com):

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

best thing a brat can do is get another brat in trouble

Day 1 of learning to play "Concerning Hobbits" using a polyphonic synth.

I can feel creaking and cracking in my neural "plasticity" as I try to chase down a decay envelope parameter

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

And this iPad doesn't support attack expression ugh

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Can at least pipe this decay parameter thru a key bend feature. Yes. Good

olive consumer (@machete.gay):

I would vote for Kamala Harris if she vowed to start World War III but also abolish laws that require restaurants to hand out terrible straws that don't work.

olive consumer (@machete.gay):

Also if I get a malt I can't get a plastic straw but I CAN get a plastic spoon.

What the frick are we even doing here?

#1 Rad Dad (@no1raddad.bsky.social):

Andrew D Thaler (@drandrewthaler.bsky.social):

ChatGPT is only free for non-commercial use. If Nate Silver doesn't have a commercial license and his writing cannot be separated from ChatGPT's "work", I think Nate is obligated to release this book under an open-source license.

Dave Karpf (@davekarpf.bsky.social):

NEW RULE: if you are going to thank ChatGPT in the acknowledgements of your book, then you have to put the acknowledgments at the beginning rather than the end.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

" … – all of the writing is my own."

He claims he used it as a Whack Pack, a rubber duck, but disclaims cribbing from its direct output.

Sounds like a question of fact to be decided by a jury

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

gifts you a vibrator but it's from a secondhand dropshipper

Pollyphemeus we/our she/her (@pollyphemeus.bsky.social):

Gifts you a vibrator, but it requires a subscription fee to work.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I didn't know you had the evil of crapitalism in you, Kira

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

it's more of a curse

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Point where the cursed wasp stinged you so I can softly kiss it better

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

Raising $1,000,000 in funds to buy this property and move to Wisconsin

Puckett (@puckett101.bsky.social):

The heating and curtain bill for this place will both be outrageous. On the bright side, there is FAR too much space in every room, original school bathrooms have been preserved, and you can skate all winter in those cavernous spaces.

Puckett (@puckett101.bsky.social):

... did you look at the condition of the driveway and parking lot?

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Yes! And the US map on the "back yard patio"

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Go find a local sidewalk; find a single grain of sand on that sidewalk.

The grain of sand represents the relative cost to air condition Amazon warehouses

The sidewalk represents the relative wealth of Jeff Bezos

The gravel lump you just noticed is how much Amazon will spend to fight this rule

William Li (@williamlidc.bsky.social):

Hallelujah, finally we have the notice of proposed rulemaking from OSHA on "Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings."

They announced this was coming a while ago, but had not issued the notice.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Internet trolls are, by and large, simply sadists.

Deny them a captive audience, attention, amplification, ego food, and etc — and they shrivel up and (metaphorically) die

There's a reason the "thought leaders" of bigots and harassers relentlessly mock effective collectivisation and community

Michael Tae Sweeney (@mtsw.bsky.social):

in general i think a lot of left/liberal people are in denial about the fact that sadists exist and that satisfying sadistic desire is a powerful force in how our society is structured.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Did you have

"Penny draws blindingly obvious parallels between middle corporate management & internet trolls"

on your Bingo card today

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Getting Reddit to adopt a Rule Against Hate Speech / Kick the Nazis Off involved 8 months of persuading hundreds of thousands of users to (in not quite such blunt terms) Stop Whingeing And File Reports & 1 month of persuading Reddit Moderators to Take a Stand

isaac (@sevier.io):

I know it's difficult to believe because I haven't posted my resume on bluesky dot app but I work on changing policy outcomes professionally and have done so for years and the most critical step is entirely about changing the vibes.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

In 2019 almost everyone I talked to believed "Reddit will never ban hate speech"

In 2015 Reddit admins were already making (buried deep in the replies) statements that hate speech fell under the Targeted Harassment policy

We changed the vibes and made it happen

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

It it sunrise, and I am grateful for @kiraculous.net and @feral-bear.bsky.social and everyone else who unconditionally accept and welcome transgender people

The Republican party platform policies and practices over the past 40 years have been that large manufacturers can be trusted to self-regulate and self-inspect

Always, always, with a body count

The Washington Post (@washingtonpost.com):

Nine people have died and 57 have been hospitalized in a nationwide listeria outbreak linked to recalled Boar's Head deli meat, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday, describing it as the largest such outbreak in the United States since 2011.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

It's a sad state of affairs when the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal would get banned from a neutral News Subreddit for violating Reddit Sitewide Rule 1 by platforming Misogyny,

But here we are

The financial incentive for slave owners to dehumanize their slaves cannot be stated enough. Scotus out here screaming Return while throwing people into forced prison labor.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The sound of Elton John's voice is like fingernails down a blackboard for me. He writes incredible tunes & lyrics, has impeccable pitch & rhythm. It's just some set of subharmonics drives my brainstem to drop everything and think,

"Who fricking turned on Elton John?!? This must stop!"

The Nerdskull (@nerdskull.bsky.social):

Tell me a band that you unabashedly hate. You aren't allowed to say Imagine Dragons, Nickelback, or Train. You gotta put yourself at risk of being canceled here.

I'll start it out with Twenty-One Pilots, Third Eye Blind, and Pearl Jam. That last one will get me canceled for sure.

Note to self: start doing this to 9/11 & 1/6 truthers too

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
