A friend who attended the SD63 convention over the weekend tells me that the auto captions there had similar problems, inserting swear words and racism into people's speech ("like it was an LLM trained on 4chan"). Seems like software the DFL should discontinue using.

The media gets rolled by RW astroturf over and over. Makes it all the more remarkable that she wasn't interested in hating on trans athletes when Trump teed her up.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

1. Your goal is to retrieve your treasure from a monstrous entity. 2. All you need is a pen and paper, but expensive software makes it much easier. 3. The rules are constantly being updated, but they’re still shackled to a system from the 1970s.

Twins lead the American League after 10% of the season. Seriously.

Trying to get mad about this description from Josh’s newsletter and I’m just not able to do anything but say that he is correct: “Cake is like They Might Be Giants if they were trying harder to get laid and didn’t care about teaching kids about science.”

Trump's post was so blasphemous he's in danger of losing his NEA grant.

really good images of the model of NYC they made for the hudsucker proxy from an old issue of cinefex

TIL how dire the party political landscape has been in Hungary. Three parties won seats in the parliamentary election: Orban's far-right party (50 seats), Magyar's center/center-right party (137+), and a third party (6), which is another far-right party.

Between this and the Pelicans having incentive to lose, the sold-out crowd in the Target Center to see KG will be treated to 48 min of garbage time.

RIP Indian songstress Asha Bhosle, famously the subject of Cornershop's chart-topping "Brimful of Asha". Here is Ms. Bhosle covering The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" in Hindi, which probably was what gave Cornershop the idea to do the same thing themselves.

Using the r-slur in 2026 while calling yourself a progressive sure is a strategy.

All I'm saying is we should be able to find people who aren't rapists or sex pests or don't have Nazi tattoos to represent us in Congress I do not think I'm asking for the world here

From this day in 2021: My nephews were curious about Final Fantasy after seeing a Moogle I drew and I described Chocobos as looking "kind of like Big Bird" so then I had to draw it.

Met a Bsky celebrity today.

Also quick warning, if you come into my mentions to whine about Al Franken, I may just block you on the spot. Tina Smith has been a fantastic Senator who has not, to my knowledge, grabbed anyone's ass, a thing that Franken was absolutely doing while serving as Senator.

Communist hoops is back on the menu

One of the NASA folks in this press conference keeps tapping his fingers on the table, and it makes this resonant little *dng* noise each time.

The astronauts are standing in the aisle now, having pulled their luggage down, just waiting for the door to open.

"I'm pretty sure I can un-yield this metal."

Pretty sure they had to place these in basements before building the rest of the house, like the original sarcophagus in the Great Pyramid.

7%! Double 3.5%! LET'S DO MORE!

Dammit but I wish she'd just run for CA GOV.

Most of these bad irrelevant takes are good, non-sequitur, but relevant takes.

Whenever this gets released, it will be the television event of the year.

A colourful new season of Taskmaster drops on Channel 4 and YouTube on April 9th at 10pm BST - starring Armando Iannucci, Amy Gledhill, Joanna Page, Joel Dommett and Kumail Nanjiani!. 🔵🟢🟡🟢🟡

Minnesotans don’t need candidates whose platform is “I’m a safe bet to beat republicans.” If this winter showed us anything it’s that we believe a better world is possible, we know we deserve it, we‘ll show up to bring it into being. We want candidates who fight for us, not strive for just enough.

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever heard him use "low IQ" to describe anyone who isn't Black, but I think Tucker Alex and Meggyyyn all caught a stray headed for Candace tbh

This is why the charter commission wants to take away council powers. Its also why they absolutely can not be allowed to do so.

I have seen one good example of this plate

what they've actually done here quite deftly is shine a 3000 watt Fresnel lamp on the central problem for which Pope Francis wanted an American Pope in the first place: namely, that the American right wing believes they are invincible, they are destroying the world, and they have to be stopped

Ilan Wurman gets so much press being the face of “well, actually, birthright citizenship is not a thing.” Has anyone ever asked him about his own citizenship status if that logic was applied to his life? His parents immigrated two years before he was born. How can he be such a blatant hypocrite?

AI stands for “auto-incorrect”

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

I wrote about The Pitt's horrifying ICE episode, and how Daredevil: Born Again does what Dr. Robby can't: call them fascists, then break their skulls open with ninja weapons

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

Amy Klobuchar is definitely going to win. and that sucks. but instead of putting our collective energy into trying to change that, which we probably can’t, we should put the effort into winning seats in the state legislature. win enough that you make Amy the least powerful part of state gov

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

How do you say, "Go home and get your fucking shine box" in Farsi?

not the desired outcome but boy these numbers are nuts

Just a reminder that over a year later, none of the businesses destroyed by the department run by Margaret Anderson Keliher have reopened. www.fox9.com/news/busines...

Can we hack this into the Gorilla Channel feed?

I liked this idea enough to call Congresswoman McCollum and suggest it. Had to leave it in her voice mail.

Alan Page playing a sousaphone in front of the building The Tribunals are being held in. There is an ongoing potluck with thousands of slow cookers going, and one bar left on every table. The Southside Battletrain will not stop roving around the building until a verdict is reached…

The R-rated dramas my HS French teacher didn't ask parental or school permission to show us.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president
