I keep seeing jokes about the boat that sunk after hitting a whale. I love stories of orcas sinking megayachts as much as anybody, but this was 4 people on a sailboat between Australia & New Zealand. They got into a life raft in the middle of the night in a big empty ocean and are lucky to be alive.
Just think about that. No land, no lights, no ships in sight. You step off your ship into a tiny raft in the moonlight and hope for the best. Seems like they did everything right. They were prepared for an emergency. Still incredibly lucky. It took 18 hours to rescue them.

I feel like I spend an hour fitting everything I need to say into the correct character count whenever we do these.
We're giving away two keys to the Warcraft Forever Collection, which includes World of Warcraft: Forever and Warcraft 3: Reforged with the Forsaken Kingdom expansion! To enter, reply with the race and class combo you're taking back to the past in Forever when it launches on November 4! #WoW_Partner
I clipped this little bit of the podcast just for @shadesogrey.bsky.social

If you're going to play the new Hogwarts game, watch the series, or keep supporting this behemoth of cruelty and inhumane action, then go ahead and unfollow me. Do not talk to me. Do not claim to stand for the LGBTQIA+ community. I had three Harry Potter tattoos that have all been covered. 1/2
As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

For @annabellreads.bsky.social, this is my current treehouse. The platform and stairs are both a bit wonky, and the platform use more supports so it doesn't look like it's hovering in space, railings for safety, more lights. The colors will be very different on another plot. AgTIPNWRdEpFJqyjShfDfbHU

This game was so good you guys.
Credits rolled, and I give Desktop Explorer a 12/10 with high marks for being just plain weird and leaving me feeling both sad and happy at the same time. You'll be able to watch our full playthrough on YouTube later this week or pick up the game yourself (and let us know what you think)!
It's me and @mitchfizzl.bsky.social! Having fun as a penguin! In this totally normal penguin sim!!
Penguins are all in on a sense of adventure, and so are we. Join Liz and Mitch as we play Penguin Colony, a fun little game about penguins and eldritch horrors. (cw eldritch horrors) Watch us play the whole demo on YouTube, and join us on Twitch Thursdays at 8pm eastern for more indie game streams!

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Who knew error messages could be so scary?
We've got another episode of Desktop Explorer for you, featuring Liz screaming in terror. Well, squeaking in terror, but the sentiment's the same. The computer is totally not haunted. IT tells me computers can't be haunted and I should just turn it off and back on, which I hope will also work here.
