Discworld QOTD, from Thud! “Beating people up in little rooms…he knew where that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you’d do it for a bad one. You couldn’t say ‘We’re the good guys’ and do bad-guy things.”

We are here, and this is now.

If you don't understand this meme, count yourself among God's favored children and leave it at that.

What a wild ride of a thread.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

"Just a couple more billion, bro. And get more people to use it and pay for it. I swear, bro."

I've seen less deadly things made by a crazed Englishman in his shed.

Nice review of flybot here www.audiofilemagazine.com/reviews/read...

This is your reminder to check/change your air and humidistat filters.

"Laws are only as good as the willingness of people to enforce them," is the epitaph of this era.

you gotta be kidding with this

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Bank of America first started offering credit cards to women in 1974

This is what’s known as a generation gap

I'm not baking 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies at 1am, YOU are

I can't wait, I love all three of them! (but especially Geoff Ross)

Putting this out there again! Make me draw things! Buy my puppet strings at the lowest prices ever for your own nefarious purposes!

Book Dragon says the hoard must grow.

Tech used to have an aesthetic and didn't track your spending habits

Me: *puts on Roundabout as I get in the shower* *exactly 0:41 seconds later*:

in the movies this is the screensaver on the computers at the world’s most evil company

Jingle ALL the way? In THIS economy?

it cannot be said enough, and should be shouted from the rooftops: this is a fake legal issue that's been backstopped by on-demand scholarship from academics who are part of the same project as the conservative justices. the "authority" they will cite is no better than citing AI slop.

Just a day in the life of being a coroner 😎

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Seems about right. Also cats, books, and woodworking.

every neoliberal policy analyst wants to "trim the fat" of society until the lean times come. community level resilience, redundancies, etc are good actually

Hey friends! Unfortunately I learned that my current gig will be ending right after Christmas. But in the spirit of turning these lemons into explosive lemons, I'm OPENING UP COMMISSIONS! Help me spread the word and make some cool art for people.✌️

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

Jaysin! You jump on one more thing... emotional damage!

I mean, I imagine the answer is that when they're cautiously and thoroughly evaluated, they're found to be inadequate, so we don't hear about them. Like an inverse survivorship bias.

This absolutely KILLED me.

We got to make using AI to figure out personal gifts a social crime. Most gifts suck to begin with but now you’ve literally taken the thought out of it’s the thought that counts

I just find this really sad. Imagine being so certain that you need slop machines to do your work, that you convince yourself that EVERYBODY must need them.

Kids might not be born bigoted, but they are born with superiority complexes. ;)

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

BREAKING: RealPage is suing New York, challenging a new state law that bans landlords from using algorithms to set rents. RealPage claims that its software, which landlords have used to collude on rents, is protected by the First Amendment.

Repeat after me: YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY 🫵

Don't mess around with boiling oil!

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

The artwork of #Ys II by Noriyuki Moto used for a calendar featured in Falcom Special Box '89 arrangement album. It was also featured on the back of Symphonic Ys vinyl record. Added in the signature, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

Literal interaction with my boss: Me: "I have a problem for the IT department." Him: "Have you tried asking ChatGPT" Me: *humors him* "Yeah so the AI said to contact my IT department."

give this man a little house and he IMMEDIATELY turns into a "get off my lawn" guy

Also I'm used to Mamdani's telegenicity from the campaign but also something else how *on-message* he is--not taking bait but also sticking with his own issues/framing, all while not coming across like he's cowed or kissing up. Dunno how many Dems could pull that off in a meeting

this man really decorated before his crush came over lmfao

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”
