“Kom dere vekk, det er ikke en kvinne, det er en slags "ting"! Den imiterer en kvinne, kom dere vekk!”

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

Get home. Hear cat meowing pathetically. Check various rooms. Check closets. No cat seems trapped. Keep looking. Realize cat had been playing in upright, open suitcase… which he tipped over onto himself. Also realize cat had expressed his displeasure w/suitcase. Google ‘How to clean suitcase”.

I don't care about football. But I like seeing people I like being happy and excited about it. Every moment of joy is an act of rebellion.

It is genuinely hard for most people to grasp how poor the past was.

it drives me actually insane to have people romanticizing subsistence agriculture as if that's not just playing russian roulette with your family's lives year by year, and that every single one of their ancestors would throttle them for suggesting giving up their email jobs

"Go on, human, ask me anything. Except basic math stuff. And putting things in sequential order. And don’t do any made-up riddles to mess with me. Real riddles ONLY."

"Sir, would you take a look at this?"

I'm pretty sure Kurweil also predicted whole brain modeling of the human brain by 2020, back in 2010 or thereabouts. At the moment, WBM is about up to "fruit fly". (I am a fan of WBM as a better route to true AI than LLMs, but it's orders of magnitude more complex than once was believed.)

If you aren’t subscribed to Linday Nicole’s YT channel, do you even biology, bro? youtu.be/9D4eWAcA2BA?...

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
