OpenAI and…the United States Military…are teaming up to notify YOU that your son has been KILLED IN ACTION. Click here to speak with your son via AI one last time

My big project: The Death Generator. It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything. deathgenerator.com

Worrying news at the NS podcast, where the lads have discovered millions of younger, mostly educated left/lib people get all upset and offended if you relentlessly insult them, tell them to fuck off and implement policies that they find appalling.

apropos of nothing

There can be only… two?! I’ve written a new official book on Highlander for the 40th anniversary - plenty I couldn’t get for the first book inc new interviews, unseen photos, deleted scene coverage… even lifelong fans haven’t heard a lot of this. Published by Titan Books on 1st September!

A reminder that Mahmood said she was inspired by the architect of the Minneapolis migrant crackdown, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who left "a lasting and positive impression on her."

This is a lesson about the price of hubris. The moral is, if you’re a government official you can’t get away with stealing $140 million and buying a luxury sex plane. You have to settle for stealing $2 million and buying a chauffeured escalade with a tinted privacy screen between you and the driver

Kristi Noem unclipping her extensions tonight, massaging her scalp, and throwing the still barrel curled locks into the flame. It’s supposed to show her the future but it’s been wrong before. As they burn, a vision emerges. She looks closer. It’s a dog with a gun

A lot of you are saying pretty negative stuff about Markwayne but I respect the man for writing Tom Sawyer

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Many people scoffed when Donald Trump announced he would be moving to Najaf to further his studies as a Shia cleric. I note those figures are awfully quiet this morning.

Happy World Buk! Buk! Buk! Day to all who celebrate. #art #WorldBookDay

seems bad

There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later. There was a new sign: "This sleeping willow is full." And a map of other locations to try.

A fun fact that basically no-one knows* is that the US Greens have been kicked out of the Global Greens because the European Greens hate Stein, and especially her links to Putin, that much * TBF the only public announcement is a throwaway sentence in this europeangreens.eu/news/us-elec...

SID MEIER: [scribbling notes] Ohohoho, this is gold!

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

This is reminding me about the RIFTS™️ TTRPG someone posted about the other day, where Worldbook 1 was "The Vampire Kingdoms", Worldbook 2 was "Atlantis", and Worldbook 3 was just "England"

This just isn't true. The 1951 convention requires state parties to facilitate the integration and naturalisation of refugees because the people who drafted it weren't moral vacuums or stupid enough to think that persecution that made people flee for their lives would magically go away in a year.

A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for the @theguardian.com

Every day I see multiple messages to “boycott this company because they’re Nazis“ and at some point it will be worth reckoning with the fact that the entirety of the capitalist class are Nazis

Last night I watched a two-hour documentary about the incredible career of Cliff Twemlow, nightclub bouncer, background music composer, best-seller writer & star of one film that some people have seen (GBH, 1983) & a bunch more that were never even released. youtu.be/Ew9yadC0_Ms?...

Wonderfully I saw a young banjo player doing a video on TikTok, and she was saying she only just found out her favourite banjo player was also a comedian. And lots of old men were mad in her comments that she never knew Steve Martin was also a comedian.

I happened to catch a trailer for this yesterday and it was literally these things, in that order, with the last one almost verbatim in voice-over (I think it was, "Meeting an extraordinary people...on the cusp of an extraordinary change.").

This is from one of the former Infinity Ward/Call of Duty co-founders:

I cannot wait for the insights on this! He's going to: 1. Sample some local street food. 2. Ride a train. 3. Visit a temple. 4. Not mention the pogroms that the serving Prime Minister presided over. 5. Smile at some elephants. 6. Top up his kids' private school fees. 7. Say "India is changing".

Real privilege to speak at the launch of Trans Actual recent report. Absolute solidarity with the trans community and everyone working so hard for a better future for trans and non binary people. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ t.co/FkDFb5CSpR

The numbers are growing. 42 organisations have signed our open letter against the transphobic 'biological sex' framing of trans people. Be part of the movement. Sign the letter, and have your voices heard, in a world that tries to silence us all. tacc.org.uk/biological-s...

You're absolutely right—that was not a command post, that was an elementary school. Those were not military leaders—they were schoolchildren. I said the opposite, and that's on me.

There are no rules. There are no consistent principles. You gain nothing by constantly trying to play by rules that don't exist. Your military service, your whiteness, they won't save you if it turns out it's your time to get got.

Hello USA listen just to remind you that the Ides of March are on the 15th

Happy World Book Day everyone! Much love to the parents having to make a last minute costume! 💪

There would be no ethical use of generative AI even if it weren't *literally* bankrolling the goddamn gestapo and its concentration camps and providing them the ability to generate infinite nazi propaganda slop. But it is also doing that too.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Do we think when no longer securely sheltered, refugees & asylum seekers are forced into sleeping rough in town centres all the retirees with their brains microwaved on daytime telly & mangled by tabloid racism are gonna be like "Great job Labour. This is SO much better than before!"

Claude, vibe code me a new U2 album

Another 'Yeah, everything in here is good' bundle. Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion is like playing a very funny, very stupid webcomic. Slayers X is a Hypnospace Outlaw-themed Build Engine FPS parody. Sulfur is a great solo extraction-shooter roguelite. Metal Eden is gorgeous & by the Ruiner devs, etc

[solmenly] this is why they put the atlanta airport where it is.

maybe the reason Joani Reid is so transphobic is because her partner has first hand experience of being harassed in a single sex space, as this harrowing image shows

End of level boss

Boots on the ground are on the table. They're on deck. On guard. On the case. En suite. The boots have a bidet dude. You can wash your ass in the boots. The boots are in a very desirable area near some great schools. Do you want these fucking boots or not.

It's cool to see a return to multi-style games! Australia Did It alternates between tower defense and reverse bullet hell. I like the unit merging mechanic, especially given the overall structure, but accidentally leaving a unit behind is harrowing 😅 store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

Jesus comes down from the sky bathed in holy light, flanked by angels. Holds a press conference. Says its pronounced “Jod”. Leaves.

Imagine a party leader doing this, whereas the others are meeting GC groups, posing with them, hiring them as communication directors etc If you care about our community at ALL, lend your vote to the Greens in every by-election, every council seat, and every other election - until 1/3

Our kill-doers have no rules at all. They can do anything they want, and I'm making myself personally liable for any war crimes that may happen, or have already happened I'm not worried about it because I'm a big tough army man, also presumably I'll get pardoned or whatever if it comes to it LOL
