More WIP shots and the final of the piece, “So Help Me God” Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸

Independence Day is a very silly movie but one of the best blockbusters of the 90s. A bunch of the spectacle was part of the big cgi boomer the time, but let’s not forget it is chock full of insane practical fx. Look at this shit

This thrust from Derek in the gold medal match at the Montreal Sword Meisters sword and buckler tournament was so slick that it was tough for even the audience to see … so we slowed it down for your viewing pleasure. #hema #swordandbuckler #swordandshield #fencing #boston

In a list of twenty seven grievances, immigration is seventh. Taxation without representation is seventeenth.

guys I love you I do but I need you to get so real about setting your ACs to 78. This is asked of Angelenos every single year when temps go up. 78 inside is perfectly fine if it keeps power grids stable for the rest of the city. Let’s pretend we’re a community for a few days

Happy Independence Day

They’re gonna storm the Capitol again aren’t they.

I don't have time for going viral today... but this is why billionaires shouldn't exist. It's why consolidation and deregulation is evil. Fuck a corporation. Stay safe today and take care of each other. It's the only way forward.

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

Yeah, they were in and out like a flash in the early morning. I wish they had stayed longer so we could troll them properly again lol bsky.app/profile/jess...

400 masked cowardly Patriot Front bros walking through D.C. once, then fleeing ain’t shit, peeps. They are a tiny fetid drop in the American bucket. Remember Minneapolis at -20F. We are bigger, braver, and stronger. By a mile.

Physicist & chemist Marie Curie was the: + First woman to win a Nobel Prize + First person & only woman to win twice + Only person to ever win a Nobel Prize in 2 different sciences: Physics (1903) & Chemistry (1911) Marie Skłodowska Curie died #OTD in 1934. #WomenInSTEM

fascinating but not really surprising

Jesus, that poor woman. No one should have to live in a society that fosters, tolerates and encourages hate like this.

Looks like Mayor Z's pied a terre tax is not collapsing the real estate market or causing the wealthy to flee Manhattan after all. Indeed, the opposite. Who could have possibly imagined this scenario? www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

One thing that’s often forgotten is that the Declaration wasn’t written to celebrate government. It was written to justify holding government accountable when it stops serving the people. That’s the part that still matters.

It's wild that George Silver couldn't even win, "Most Bigoted English Fencer". Who could have seen coming the absolute smash hit, "Swetnam, The Woman-Hater" that just hit theatres? Absolute must see. Five stars. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swetnam... #hema #history #fencing

Every day brings more evidence that: 1. Perceptions of AI use reproduce existing biases. 2. There is significant justification for people to hide their AI use. Gonna be a lot of hidden cyborgs out there.

He is the Speaker of the House who literally does not listen to what we want or need in the midst of fascism. Making it about race is low. I also can’t stand McMorrow & the white Ohio governor & all the other very unserious democrats that are failing us & the ones that just voted to destroy Lebanon

Have they tried giving up avocado toast?

the special prosecutor is saying things like this. anyways for anyone who wanted to see what real war between one of the bluest cities in one of the reddest states looks like, here goes

so basically: - psycho Louisiana AG threatens to use a failure-of-reconstruction era racist law to unseat the entire new orleans government - new orleans grand jury indicts her for this - governor promises pardon - special prosecutor replies roughly 'great well we'll need to convict her first'

Good article about the fascinating asymmetry on how frequently folks attribute sentience to chatbots vs. image generators. Interesting to think about how this relates to the turing test being a written dialogue test and what we could learn from a comparable test for image generators.

odd take from Krug here. he says it's not socialism unless it's collective control of the means of production, and then shows polls with majority support for nationalizing the health insurance industry and lots of state owned housing paulkrugman.substack.com/p/there-are-...

The Court of Chancery just issued an order to show cause why an entire law firm (RLF, a VERY prestigious Delaware firm) shouldn't be sanctioned for filing a brief with fake AI-generated cites. The Court is holding both the partner who signed the brief and the entire firm responsible.

"Heba, I love this country. I do. I love what it offers in terms of freedom, in terms of possiblity. But my god is it harsh. It's so harsh." Mauritanian asylum-seeker, who fled slavery, only for the US government to pre-termit her to Uganda, a fate her lawyers are fighting in court.

kind of an odd argument. I agree with basically every point but the frame is weird. draining Lake Powell won't fix everything but it will help, a LOT www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
