This is amazing

Bro I thought that they just didn’t want to pay an old catcher on the downside of his career, not…whatever this is.

Dems should draw a hard line on this, let Lindsay shut down the government for his own naked corruption.

I suppose I can imagine genAI being used to create art, but it will 'make art' in the way that a camera or a paintbrush does, not in the way that a photographer or a painter does. A pure tool, rather than a collaborator.

And I suppose you could have a human artist come in and supply all of the raw experiential 'stuff' of art and use genAI as a 'bottling tool' but honestly it seems like at some point fairly quickly the 'tweaking' and 'editing' overwhelms the tool and you're just...doing film the old fashioned way.

GenAI has really crystalized for me how art is not pictures or sounds but rather a medium for human expression, for taking some part of the human experience (often an emotion) and bottling it up on a page or film or recording, for others to experience. Because GenAI doesn't have human experiences.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Nobuhiro Watsuki was a pretty big loss for me

I wonder how many people got both of the jokes here

What a bizarre post

Brody King’s booking is so weird. He’s incredibly protected but never in the main event.

How is Omega feuding with Don Callis again/still?!?

Kenny Omega’s theme is fun, more wrestlers should use video game music

Watching the crowd go mild for Hangman Page, the face of AEW

Watching Dynamite for the first time in years and Bryan Danielson is uh not great at commentary

It’s not about fear it’s about who is the enemy against whom any violence can be justified.

I’ll admit to having had my doubts about Olivia Nuzzi as vanity fair editor, but if she can keep getting Coates to write for them she should get to keep the job

The thing that makes Bruenig such a good troll is that all his posts are otherwise complete serious. The only jokes he makes are the ones where he advocates for a ridiculous position completely stone-faced and makes you figure out whether he meant it.

Who buys the “conference champions” gear? Either it’s a consolation prize or you’ll have better stuff to wear in two weeks.

Fuck yeah

Woolen disasterclass

Jake bobo, baby

“The administration talks about it, therefore they’re gonna do it” is something that has been belied by literally every instance of the administration talking about doing something they don’t have the legal authority to do.

Probably because doing this in multiple cities would put the masked goons at real, personal risk for their own safety.

The fundamental falsehood (some animals are more equal than others) will undermine everything if you don’t fight back against it and this is a society where the fundamental falsehood has an incredible amount of power and purchase.

THIS IS AN ENORMOUS LESSON FOR THE FUTURE. The reason you don’t tolerate lying propagandists like Chris Rufo is that actually maintaining a grip on reality is difficult for a society that includes lots of bigots. Even if the college kiddos made you really really mad and the internet.

Incredible. Beyond parody.

Look I’m sympathetic to the Afro pessimism of it all but there really is not any precedent for federal law enforcement occupying an American city and shooting its citizens in our history.

For some reason, these days I find myself thinking a lot about how SimCity players would eventually get bored and start triggering disasters.

Pretty sure this was the first issue of New Teen Titans I bought off the rack as a kid. Flipping through there was an Adrian Chase subplot. Probably why the Vigilante first appearance Annual that came shortly after fires so many neurons when I see it.

When you definitely understand how money works (ignore that Alberta does actually have considerable debt)

The Charlie Kirk fiasco inadvertently revealed how deeply the news media has been corrupted by its slow pauperization and resultant dependency on wealthy sugar daddies.

What acts have republicans passed

The Other History of the DC Universe is so good, man. Can we get John Ridley writing Titans?

Le Grink était-il là?

It’s only a hundred bucks to do a 23andMe and find out what part of the world you are, genetically speaking, most similar too. If you consider “your people” to be those of a similar genetic background instead of the people you’ve lived alongside of your entire life, finding them isn’t difficult.

This promo was so beast

*watching the NY Giants lose a football game* this sure is Kafkaesque

The American position is that climate change is a Chinese hoax which will expand Greenland's strategic importance for homeland defense and that is why U.S. allies who are too unwilling to stand up to evil should stop standing up to evil and cede their territory to protect their territory.

Okay but the US’s membership is the only thing keeping this boondoggle afloat.

Love Bluesky dot com, the app where people post straight up lies and then block you for pointing it out

Your average 1994 Raw card is something like: Occupational gimmick (face) vs. racial stereotype (heel) Extremely dumb skit Occupational gimmick (heel) vs. racial stereotype (face) Maybe a promo from somebody you care about Squash match

RIP “Stagger” Lee Marshall, you would have loved Hegelochus

Guessing the answer here is that It did not happen, but that he was getting ready for bed or whatever when the flight turned around and didn’t want to be seen in his jammies

i would have voted to confirm rubio too. i would have been wrong to, but i would have done it.

What a way to go out lol.

Bring back Thibs

Hahahaha
