This is AJ Link, known here as Łink. He's awesome. He's been permabanned for basically just making the CEO, Jay Graber, mad. This was a monumentally stupid decision that, AFAICT, may result in the collapse of Bluesky due to a loss of trust, but we'll see. The smart thing to do would be to #FreeŁink

In typically brutalist #MelonHusk style 500 of his employees were given the ax on Friday Night, and immediately deleted all access to even their email with no warning.
"We no longer need most generalist AI tutor positions and your employment with xAI will conclude."

Scion of Wealthy #Saratoga CA family who lived in their $6m mansion msg'd his sex assault victim on Facebook: “So I raped you...” followed by " I’ll pray for you.”
After returning to #SiliconValley , graduating from a "religious" college in #SantaClara & working for Elon's #Tesla, he fled to #France where, from what I've gleaned, #rape is apparently an unofficial national pastime ... this week, only 11 yrs later, the 31 yr old #fugitive was #extradited to USA, and denied bail.
Thankfully #DJT, who likes that sort of activity, is coming into office... anyone wanna bet on Prez #Pardon?

RIP Sugar Pie DeSanto
I'm a little late to the memorial, time having been consumed by holiday travel, and then news of wildfires sweeping areas I just returned from, but just saw notice that at the end of the past year, we lost #SugarPieDeSanto
I was lucky I had the fortunate opportunity to see her perform memorable sets live a couple times earlier in this century in #SanFrancisco , and despite her age, she was still feisty, acrobatically bawdy & hilarious.
A relative of fellow #ChessRecords recording artist Etta James, and part Filipino (born Umpeylia Marsema Balinton ) ... , she was perhaps less renowned, but certainly worth checking out for any fans of authentic old school #RhythmandBlues music.
"I was one of the toughest women you would find, and a big mouth, and I didn’t take anything from no one,” she said in an interview in the 2011 book “Flying Saucers Rock ’n’ Roll: Conversations With Unjustly Obscure Rock ’n’ Soul Eccentrics”
I recall in more recent times, her being burned out in a 2006 fire that swept the apt building where she lived in #Oakland, and killed her husband.
But she was a tough cookie and soldiered on for many more years ...stay safe out there folks...
