In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Counterpoint: break ties holding the cameras up and then burn the cameras (salvage the solar panels)

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

Gavin Newsom is the NFT of guys

Chalk up another W for pottery bc archaeologists often find shards of pottery with decoration made by impressing the unfired pots with twines or grasses that are many many thousands of years old

Curling doesn't necessarily have to be just a winter sport.

Team hot sauce in the tuna salad

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

This is fine meme but they cancel your insurance during the fire they set

And yet university administrators keep pushing it. Absolutely baffling. Undercutting your own perceived value to be first seems endemic.

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

I love Lego so much.

Happy Friday the 13th to those who celebrate.

Midnight mini moonpie will fix me

I’m hearing Colorado is getting Aldi’s soon. I don’t know anything about their stores but anything has to be better than kroger

Why did I know what this is referencing

hold on i gotta take this

oh my god??

Actual footage of Vince Guaraldi performing "Linus and Lucy". I'm gobsmacked that this exists, but utterly thrilled too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMf...

Another good reason not to argue with shitty people on this site. Block and move on.

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN BIG BOAT STUCK

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.

Dying laughing at how much money they spent for a SB commercial to backfire this hard

Making a diy spray booth so we can airbrush underglazes onto pots. One of the reasons we’re testing switching to a lighter clay

“please stop trying to incorporate AI”

Counterpoint Tahl didn’t know what movie this is from and I’m equally UPSET

Implications of OP aside, JFC the actual results…

Two years ago we tested and switched to our chocolate clay and we love it! But we’re also curious about techniques that don’t really work on darker clay bodies so we might switch, at least for a while, to a lighter body clay. Also my kind of ADHD is constantly getting bored with things 😂

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

My friends who are in tech are getting destroyed by AI. My friends who are established writers are like "bring it, Claude, I'll have your ass hanging on a flagpole by morning." Just anecdotal, but still.

My tinfoil hat take is there is some kind of kickback going to universities for being so eager on this

I guess the horse is already out of the barn! (Sorry I’ll see myself out)

Unfortunately unfollowing a lot of people with to my mind insane “yeah it’s gonna change the world so have a plan to accept that reality” responses to the dumb Chris take.

This decision was made without consulting a single CU Boulder professor with AI expertise. And AFAIK there was one professor *total* involved. More info, such as it is, here: https://www.cu.edu/gen-ai Check the "Guiding Principles" section for entertainment.

ImpactCounter estimated that more than 750,000 to 762,000 people died as a result of USAID funding cuts one year after they began, with over 500,000 of those being children.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

This is a media story mostly. No one left in the desicated corporate media wants to write about some new code that helped some nerds be more efficient at science. So they enthusiastically let themselves be conned by the hucksters so they can feel like they're writing a more important story.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. Kind of impossible but a thing I say thousands of times every year “Hey, you up for a photo real quick?”

This fucking guy….

Isabella Wranå won gold for curling, but should've for this video

Made carbonara, forgot to add pepper. There’s like 5 ingredients in carbonara and I managed to forget one, classic me

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

The pride flag bomber meme but it’s ICE masks

We need to adopt a new term for “moderate democrat”. Hmm, just spitballing, how about “Republican”?

this is not a tiktok it is a documentary

Maybe I can still learn some new tricks

Had my in the woods adventures more in Ohio, but from third through fifth grade everything you see on this map was me and my friends stomping grounds. Our modes of getting around were skateboard, rollerblades and bmx bikes. RIP Skyler’s Ice Cream, you were goated at 11pm during sleepovers
