People who exclaimed 'no kings' were labeled terrorists in 1775 too.🤷‍♂️

theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art Oatmeal hits the nail right on the head.

@josh Proverbs 22:6 is true when talking about truth. Sadly, it is also true when talking about racism, classism, fascism, etc. Train them as children to be wrong-headed in any way, and they'll tend to still think that way when they're old. Give them access to un-gate-kept other stupidity and […]

@josh The arguments made here about access to information have some merit. But there’s more to it. It’s also (much more, I believe) the democratization of publishing. It used to be hard to get your ideas out there because there were gatekeepers who would reject the stupid, the crazy, & the […]

What do these Trump Administration dudes all have in common? 🤏 #SDM

Imagine dressing like a Temu Richard Petty and criticizing anyone’s appearance

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

This is what happens when you make cheap-ass videos, lack the pipes (or balls) to narrate it yourself, then karma inflicts a micro stroke on your shitty text-to-speech system.

Very true....

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

I don't know how the REST of the various (and many) local public radio stations have behaved between when they learned that the #PBS #NPR money was drying up, & this fall's #PledgeDrive ...but I can tell you of at least one #MinnesotaPublicRadio station that WHIFFED on it.

The blurb given had me intrigued. I do stuff in the kitchen. Cooking and such. So I clicked. Nope, it's about 𝗢𝗖𝗜 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 Frankly, I'm disappointed.

The following "AI Assistant" interaction is with Claude 4.5 Sonnet. This #AI is super confident in describing how #Liquibase behaves with onFail="CONTINUE" in the preConditions. It's also flatly wrong, in a way that could be disastrous in production code. Has the AI assistant helped me catch...

Sometimes a 2nd li’l spot of breakfast is what helps a fella cope.

Punch Sinclair in the money sack

Some of us do.

I didn't watch #JimmyKimmel with any regularity. Wasn't my flavor of preference - much more a #StephenColbert fan, I guess. But the nothingburger that #Sinclair & #Disney got their undies in a twist about was BS. Best thing for the #FirstAmendment would be if Disney loses their shirts, (cont'd)...

The administration will support anything that causes women more pain. Hence, the Tylenol farce.

Diversity is our biggest strength!

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

You can also buy DVDs second hand at local garage sales or something from small buyers. Money won't go to Disney and it'll probably help someone pay their bills.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Robert Redford proved that he could be a great actor with just a flex of a jaw muscle. What a man!

RIP Robert Redford. My heart is a little broken right now. He brought so much good to this world…through his art and his philanthropy. 😢 www.bbc.com/news/live/c0...

So the rich are the problem. Imagine that.

The evolution of a right wing lie. 1. Make stuff up 2. Tweet said stuff 3. Retweet other people tweeting your tweet 4. Mention it as fact on Fox 5. Quote it in the media 6. Talk about in committee 7. Trump talks about 8. Becomes MAGA fact

When Trump attacks the press because he doesn’t want to answer, the rest of the press needs to stand with them & demand an answer instead of letting Trump bully them I’m done with watching him do this. He’s only one man. There are more of them & they need to start advocating for themselves 🤬

#MSTeams irritating me - on 9/11 of all days! Choices: "Try CoPilot" and "Maybe Later" Fuck you, #microsoft How about the "Fucking Never" button that makes this bullshit go away and never ever ask me again? #AIssholes.

‘New York Times’ Announces New Columnist Will Contribute Nothing To Society 3 Times A Week

Johnson admits he lied—Trump wasn’t an FBI informant, but word on the interweb is that Johnson is a Grindr informant. 🍿

@techconnectify.bsky.social I have a #HeatPump idea to bounce off you. In winter, #MiniSplit can’t keep up for small insulated shed, ‘cuz it can only raise the temp so many °Fs. But put a black steel grate in front of the intake & point a #Heliostat at it, & the localized outside temp’s higher.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

I don't know about you folks, but I plan to deadname the Defense Department every chance I get.

#JimmyKimmel For The Win 🔥🔥🔥

"The government says her lawn is 'unsightly.' She's fighting to keep it that way. Which is more appealing: neatly mowed grass or a 'rewilded' lawn that supports a diverse habitat?" Editor(s) at #usaToday are asking the wrong question. What is objectively, provably better for human survival?

The saga of the most deadly brain worm in human history continues...

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.

I listen to KCMP #thecurrent from #minnesotapublicradio #mpr most weekday mornings. Anti #earworm tool. I switch to other stations when the morning gals get too chatty (they do that a lot) instead of shutting TFU & playing music. Right now, the #mnstatefair has them re-arranged, so the […]

JAMES BOND (Tom Holland): (into smart watch) Alexa, I need your help! I can’t get into the Amazon fulfillment centre to save the Prime Minister! There’s a large group of pro-union protestors blocking the way! MILF YOUNGLY (Lauren Sanchez): Perhaps I could be of service, Mr. Bond. I am 24 years old.

Canadian bacon is like regular bacon except it apologizes for being ham.

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.

“My dearest Wilhelmina, I write to you from the front, where news is grim. The tyrant has issued a new executive order against ‘hoagies of mass destruction,’ and our sandwicheers find themselves low on supplies. Thankfully, the Arby Irregulars have commenced ambushes to lessen the pressure.”

Same question 🙋🏼‍♀️

🧵After the Nazis came to power in 1933, they implemented policies to align cultural institutions, including museums, with their ideology. Back then it was known as *Gleichschaltung*, involved purging museums of art & artifacts deemed "degenerate" while promoting works aligned with Nazi ideals.
