ok so if i were to setup a dirty BBS on a commodore 128D w/ a 1581 drive, what would i dooooo

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Host door games

Adrian Chadd (@erikarn.bsky.social):

oh ofc, i more meant "ok how do i do it to begin with"

My BBS knowledge is very PC based

daryl "criss angel's thesis" b 🏳️⚧️ (@hypercubexl.bsky.social):

sure is super cool how many resist libs and political commentators have just gone whole hog into AI to all make the same 2 or 3 prompts over and over again 🫠

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

And half of them misogynist / transphobic / homophobic / queerphobic

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Ravens - Solstice Carol

Elizabeth (@nightshaderose.bsky.social):

Boggles It has been 20 years since I encountered someone else who knows anything about that album (well, with the exception of the one person I'm still talking to who was there at the time).

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It's been 30 since we saw them.

Elizabeth (@nightshaderose.bsky.social):

[quick math] oh dear, I think it may have been nearer 30. I shall go into the corner and grumble about linear time.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It goes by so swiftly now

Elizabeth (@nightshaderose.bsky.social):

Always sad the second album didn't make it. Are you someone that l should know, but am failing to remember? That wasn't a particularly huge fan base.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I used to go by Finn.

Elizabeth (@nightshaderose.bsky.social):

Not a particularly uncommon name in that group. :p not the one I dated, yes? (Sorry, one of the side effects of being as adaptable as I've had to be is that when things change, a lot of Before gets discarded, and unfortunately that includes people. )

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The Fascist Question (@thefascistquestion.bsky.social):

Makes me want to hijack a supermarket just to blast that on the speaker system out of revenge

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Reminder that anti-vaxx groups are, by definition, bioterrorists

Devin Burghart (@dburghart.bsky.social):

The latest IRS 990 for anti-vaxxer group ICAN just dropped (2023). It shows that the firm of Aaron Siri, the lawyer advising RKF Jr. on HHS picks, received another $6 million in 2023 from ICAN. That brings the firm's total from ICAN up to nearly $20 MILLION from 2017-2023.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Grand Junction's economy is largely agricultural, & largely dependent upon migrant farm workers

For context

The Denver Post (@denverpost.com):

The victim, a Grand Junction journ*list, told police the man rolled down his window and said, "Are you even a U.S. citizen? This is Trump's America now! I'm a Marine, and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!" www.denverpost.com/2024/12/20/m...

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

… he also enthusiastically supports the neoNazi party in America.

A lot of them are going to have a hard time dealing with finding out they're the neoNazi party in America

Lora Kolodny (@lorak.bsky.social):

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), slammed Musk and said the billionaire "enthusiastically supports the neo-Nazi party in Germany." www.cnbc.com/2024/12/20/e...

Genevieve (@jenuhveeve.bsky.social):

His followers be like: "Hurr durr electric car man r genius, nazis aren't real, stonks go brrr"

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It is 2024. The richest man in the world is coordinating with the President-Elect of the United States. He is a white supremacist.

Désirée Zamorano (@ladeziree.bsky.social):

And that, my dear, is the truth.

chiller (@thechiller.bsky.social):

Why would anyone work for this prick? I can understand the rocket guys doing it: there just aren't that many rocket gigs and SpaceX is exciting*.

But software folks?

*in ways that are going to cost lives, which in itself may be a reason why good engineers remain, in a prophylactic capacity.

Paris Marx (@parismarx.com):

Employees at Musk's companies have consistently said the opposite: he has a short fuse and they prefer when he's focused on anything else because when he starts paying attention to their department they get hit with unnecessary work and stupid requests. He doesn't know nearly as much as he thinks.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It's reported that most of his labour-level X workforce are H1-B visa holders. They don't have much choice.

Charles S (@cstarks.bsky.social):

Another bot for you @skywitches.net

Well spotted! Definitely a chatgpt prompt type Deny Derail Dismiss Defend bot

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Bill Kristol, everyone. Bill. Kristol.

Bill Kristol (@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social):

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, "Only the AfD can save Germany."

The AfD is Germany's neo-Nazi party.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Commenters in that post have already pointed out what I would have: the AfD, Alternativ für Deutschland, is under investigation as violating Germany's constitutional protections against reviving the Nazi party. One of its youth subsidiaries has been found to legally be a terrorist group.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Its former chair quit and denounced the current party as a neoNazi group.

Musk, the richest man in the world, is calling for the restoration of Nazi Germany

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

And Holocaust groups allowed this fricko to speak at Holocaust memorials at concentration camps

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I am so fricking tired of being Cassandra

chisox fan (@wrlewin.bsky.social):

elon wants to experiment with neuralink on incarcerated undocumented immigrants

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Shoving my face into my hands this morning. A lot.

🤦🏼‍♀️

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I sleep through the night for once and a whole meta cycle happens

Bernie The Wordsmith (@berniethewordsmith.bsky.social):

Wakes up in Asia for his nightshift

What happened?

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

the operator of a useful bot got suspended and then unsuspended, and it might very well be because of what her bot did to make transparent the activity of a bluesky employee. Political fallout ensues

Bernie The Wordsmith (@berniethewordsmith.bsky.social):

Ooooooh this is the Onlyfans heart incident 😂

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.
