Mamdani is going to implement Shar Law. Everyone will have to bow down to the Mistress of the Night, the Lady of Loss, and devote themselves to bringing about a darkness that will smother her hated foe and sister Selûne

"The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers" really is a banger line and a great metaphor.

Satire. For *now*.

Come for "If we don't surrender our rights, the Chinese will win!" and stay for the *oddly* *specific* *example* of "a thing someone might want to hide".

A "Real Housewives Of Alderaan" series that suddenly goes off the air with no explanation.

Yeah, no thanks. If I want to ask a question, I will seek out an employee. Having them approach me is creepy and annoying.

Their labmate sorted every photo by file size. They had nearly identical success rates.

Every so often I think about the two grads students in my old lab who had to sort through hundreds of thousands of seafloor images to find ecologically interesting regions. One built this super sophisticated machine learning algorithm that was, honestly, very very impressive.

Good morning, the federal government remains shut down. Republicans control the ENTIRE federal government. Republicans are responsible for the shutdown. It’s not complicated.

Serious #science question: If a paleontologist 50 million years from now found a chihuaha (sp) skeleton and a great dane skeleton, would they think they were two different species?

BREAKING: Judge Immergut issues a permanent injunction against Pete Hegseth and the deployment of the National Guard to Portland. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is what gets to me. If you have any capacity for empathy, even one of these stories is excruciating to read. I don’t use the word “evil” often, but blithely allowing this to continue is evil.

Rewatching HTTYD 3 and… Just look at this scene. No AI slop. This is what happens when humans use tools to create new things that could not exist before, vs. having a plagiarism machine spit out inferior copies of what‘s already been done.

And this is a really good point:

Wheel Of Reincarnation: www.zvon.org/comp/r/ref-J...

"Nor should it be confused with *another* Italian film called The Legend of the Titanic, which is an *entirely different* animated Titanic movie with talking mice and a plot where nearly everyone survives the Titanic sinking." Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.

If we survive this, the decision-makers of every organization, public or private, that paid Trump the Dane-Geld should be charged with bribery, or some equivalent crime. Not the legal entity they were in charge of. Themselves. Personally. Everyone who had the authority to decide.

Why are there racist Mexican mice on the Titanic? Why do I ask such things? youtu.be/3ePBOnzxNwI?...

Judge Jeanine has competition.

TBF, this is the kind of thing that normally comes out lastnamely.

"Starting in the spring and then escalating over the summer, President Donald Trump sent federal troops or 'called up' National Guard units to Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Memphis, Portland, and Chicago...The Founders would be appalled." www.thebulwark.com/p/founders-t...

Someone write a browser plugin that monitors my YT activity, and every time I pick "Don't Recommend Channel", it digs up the contact information for that channel and tells them they're being blocked because they use AI.

CSI: Criminal Sandwich Investigation www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIEs...

And the lesson she was taught was: "This government is run by incompetent idiots, who not only could not indict a ham sandwich, they couldn't even get a misdemeanor conviction for throwing it."

if there's a fist-sized hole in the forehead so you can see all the way through the empty skull and out the other side, with no brain in there to block your line of sight, that applicant is perfectly suited to writing for The Economist

These filters for your own feeds have been there for a long, long time. The number of people in this thread who apparently never even *looked* at their settings and think this is a revelation of a new “hidden” feature would depress me, if I hadn’t given up on humanity ages ago.

Minor media thought: It’s interesting how a lot of the House cold opens are staged and filmed as if they were for a different genre entirely.

guys please boost THIS post instead of the misinformation that a settings change can turn this off. this needs to be address PUBLICLY by bsky 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

The arc of history is a foot-long, but it bends towards justice.

For all the Usual Suspects who think they can sue over "fake news".

In 1066 minarchist monarch William the Conquerer defeated Communist Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, ending Godwinson’s failing Marxist policy of having names with Æ in them

Further proof that the internet is culturally Philadelphia

Justice is served! On white bread, with a little mayo!

"Fraiser" typically ends with a brief sight gag as the credits roll. Today's had Daphne placing Eddie, wearing a Collar of Shame, on top of the TV, and getting him to move, until Martin gave an approving gesture. 1/2

I, for one, welcome our AI overlords and their cyborg crab army.

Per AD&D, it’s much bigger on the inside…

Glasgow! I am thrilled to announce that myself and Krystal Evans will be discussing our books Life Lessons From Historical Women and The Hottest Girl at Burn Camp next Thursday as part of the Aye Right festival! Get your tickets now! www.glasgowlife.org.uk/event/1/gicf...

Devastated to see Mamdani plummet to victory with a result that shows his critics were right all along. Now is the time for the left to move towards the centre. It's time to reach across the aisle, to swing your partner, do-si-do and really lay into trans people for no reason.

Sure, AI sucks at (thing), but please remember, it can also be used for (other thing), which it also sucks at.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Today's Episode of "Lizard Thinks Too Much About Things": On Ghosts (US Version) it is established the ghosts are bound to the area where they died, and this is shown to explicitly be the legal boundaries of the mansion and its grounds. OK, fine. But...

I love Bluesky because it's often fun but I hate it because I had to read a post where someone called Leslie Knope a neocon shill and to you I say it is a television show and it absolutely does not matter you sound like a maniac

A thousand swift c5d instances, as many r8g instances, and a hundred thousand containers, with orchestration and load balancers sufficient to carry 1000requests/second, the expenditure in cloud and back office, including Re:Invent booth,

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
