re: LLM answers at the top of search results — it's so funny that they put a little imp who lies to you at the gate to All Human Knowledge. Does Google think it's protecting the city of Thebes??

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

i'd say the midterm-level turnout for a special election is even more ominous than the swing

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Sadly relevant today.

Bro I hate when my condiments squirt all over my food. Like damn girl I didn’t know you were so excited to be used.

"Strong floor, no ceiling" is very literally the basis of like every Gilded Age political cartoon

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Something vague but direct should suffice, “Criminals must pay!”

Great perspective, I wonder how much the rail industry racked up building in 1800s. 4x the largest energy producer and about the same as the largest oil producer nation at the time?

Honestly insane to think about paying a cartographer in this age. This is how tech reduces employment and cost of living by the same action. #BasicIncomeNow

I do think more households would benefit from having domestic services

#BasicIncome could be a reality today without additional cost to the budget. Congress would need to make a law for this. Not through random tariffs and taxes but by directly issuing from the Fed and raising interest rates to combat inflation. Yes from one to the other hand, but value add happens!

I’d be hiring people for more work I need done. Even 10$ comms to artists is monumental for our culture

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against the demonic computers

(goose chasing) AN IMPERSONATION OF WHOM??

Literally anything except money

my TL all day

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

People are poor. And it’s costing the economy. #BasicIncomeNow

I support AI, but this is misrepresentation at its finest. There is a clear choir of anguish from having tech wedged into every aspect of life. Tech must be an adoption not an “update”

I don't think this is even controversial, it's standard practice. No interviewer is going through a game's credits looking for a name, and credits aren't seen as a useful way to knot how someone contributed to a project. The expectation is for you to list the work you actually did.

Explaining to my Canadian wife that Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursdays because Thanksgiving is the Thursday of holidays

lmao

Hey you

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

I would be in the streets if ABQ had a 5 fold increase in electricity shut offs

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

Unironically this is my argument for #BasicIncome #BasicIncomeNow

The revolution source must step onto the previous platform of revolution to spin the cycle of innovative value. #industrialRevolution4 #RevolutionThoughts

Putin’s plan for Ukrainian surrender does not serve American national interests

Malevola cosplay from Dispatch!

The US White House has announced it has eliminated the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE.

I heard Zohran said "You know what people would love you for, sir, is universal health care and a basic income. They would build statues for you, and the very nasty people would suddenly be nice to you" and Trump said "wait really?" and now they're writing executive orders together

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to. Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

MAMDANI: i'm going to cast the One Ring into the fiery depths of Mount Doom :) SAURON, THE DARK LORD: no problem my guy. i'll keep an *eye* on you ,)

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Still missing a zero

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

Accountability is coming

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

i nailed it huh ? #digitalart #illustration #frieren #petergriffin
