It’s fun how this info comes on the heels of Hegseth ordering his minions to use AI and then threatening Anthropic with consequences unless they give the military unrestricted use of their AI.

During thunderstorms, electric discharges in the air cause trees to glow with an ultraviolet aura. You can't see it with your eyes, but researchers have finally managed to measure it & recreate it in the lab. 🧪🔭 news.agu.org/press-releas...

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

This is important y’all. This is our chance to save the stars.

When the big breaking news finally comes, before they even have the chance to lower the flags to half-mast, the entire world will be like...

Now it can (again) be told: We had a tagline for DART: “66 million years ago, an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs. In 2022, Earth strikes back”. Everybody loved it except some (1-whimsical) NASA folks, so it was never officially adopted. It did sneak into some things, though…

Hell yeah look at that little guy go

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

the evil is simply bottomless and jeffies and schumer are saying this can be reformed and hillary clinton is boasting about how many people her husband and obama deported

The CBC made this clever & cute video that uses kids to explain the rules of curling:

The entire purpose of humanity was to eventually produce Shohreh Aghdashloo's voice

Roses are red Stem held between teeth I ordered us takeout but it's

inability to do simple tasks aside, it is truly unfathomable to me how someone can hear that voice in that tone saying such insane bullshit and not only think it's great, but lose their fucking minds talking to it so much

Roses are red Sunflowers are tall Sweep the midterms Then impeach them all

Roses are red, But that's not quite true, They absorb every wavelength of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, *Except* for that hue.

in case anybody forgot, I made these all card sized

delmarva is speaking my language

Polymarket should be burned to the ground for even offering shit like this

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Everyone go cancel your Nitro now. You still get the perks until the end of the payment cycle and if an absolute shitload of people do this they'll crap their pants and try to backpedal. Also if they don't, there's a chance all of your friends & fav creators will work on changing to something else.

"Since launch, more than a dog a day has been found and more than 27 dogs a day every day every year have been shot by the police using your Search Party by Ring cameras to hunt and kidnap your neighbors who they also shoot to the tune of about 4 a day every day every year, as well as the dogs."

Missed Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Want to rewatch? (4x and counting for me). The NFL posted the whole performance on YouTube: on pace for 500k views in the first 30 minutes.

holy shit

lrt: I went through and read the linked file and uh holy fucking shit that is g r i m

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

it's almost election officer training season in Kentucky, so it's time for my periodic reminder of how unhinged and embarrassing our state government oath of office is!

oh shit I need to go retrieve something out of the trash when I get home

truly one of my favorite mind melting facts

This is what the most distant confirmed galaxy looks like. The light we're receiving was emitted when the Universe was ~15x smaller in linear size than today, and right now it's ~30 billion light-years away from us. The light was emitted when the Universe was <300 million years old. Pretty amazing!

this is literally my plan if I ever win the lottery lol (well, this, and finding people to help create/resurrect local papers in as many cities as possible)

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

no I don't care that frankie adams plays the cousin of dave bautista and jason momoa in this movie, she should still be able to have her kiwi accent 😫

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released. "The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED." "Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."

When the Baileys’ favorite pickleball influencer posts an anti-ICE reel

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdami advises New Yorkers to stay home and read ‘Heated Rivalry’ during the winter storm via hearts530

right, because saying "I have a gun" to the guys shoving you around wouldn't be taken as a threat worthy of immediate execution or anything

You can hear that in this video and I'm pretty sure that voice belongs to one of the observers mocking them, not an agent bsky.app/profile/nikk...

The StarTribune live blog is paywall free: - The man shot by federal agents this morning has died - Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building. - ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

There’s a video that’s as disturbing as you’d expect in the replies, with all necessary warnings.
