Everytime you think "ah finally, a good use for AI", you should step back and realize that such a response is exactly the kind of wedge corpos are trying to drive between laborers Everyone's expertise and craft is "finally a good use for AI" to those outside the field. Learn solidarity please

saw this pic from a Sailor Moon S VHS game that was played on a toy phone (the Terebikko), and yeah, when fireballs fail, pack heat.

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

NEW: We caught a site run by a buzzy PR firm ripping off local and national journalism at an almost incomprehensible scale -- it's like a fully automatic machine gun spraying bullets of pure plagiarism directly into the internet futurism.com/artificial-i...

Consenting, aware adults are not allowed to create or engage with any kind of sexual media or art in any way. Small children playing phone games WILL be subjected and exposed to weird fetish shit constantly against their will 🏝 🏝 🏝

There’s been another fire! Someone set fire to the Raytheon building in Warner Robins, Georgia. Raytheon is one of the world’s biggest arms manufacturers and supplies the US & Israel with their bombs. The fire is being investigated & the person responsible has not been caught.

This is dope as hell. Humans are pretty amazing at doing cool shit when there aren't some stupid assholes fucking shit up

Exactly one year ago today:

does bluesky have downtime because of vibecoding? hmm, unlikely. is it funny that bluesky seems to have more downtime the more smug and defensive their devs get about how great vibecoding is? extremely so

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor. The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

Time to be Normal for a little bit.

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

Thought I was just getting a random issue of Ogenki Clinic, but no, it's the immediate post-9/11 issue of Ogenki Clinic. Truly, no one was safe from The Patriotism.

Finding yet more ways to give the gift of Buckaroo Banzai to my mom.

original 1967 Bill Ward art that still rings true today. Even harder, really. "But, Harold... if you get out of politics, what would you do? You're too stupid to do anything else!"

"Dynamic Product Placement" 😩

Most of us here should be familiar with a good slashdotting.

A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

Awoos??

Ah goddammit, fucking cancer.

Well that's awful news

Watched all of Megazone 23 for the first time last night and boy was that an entertaining mess, very neat to see the animation evolving between parts. It was also very, very funny to find out that (40yo spoilers) it did the Matrix's AI-Controlled Perpetual Late 20th Century bit 15 years prior.

the greatest story ever told

予告も出たし、公開まで一月近く。 腰や胸にデッキ/足場のあるロボ好き。ウォーカーギャリは初期デザインが腰にデッキ付きでしたね。

Can vouch for 3/4 of this list, but I'd hard recommend the manga over the anime for Ajin because the art is sick as hell and that CG is... not.

When they asked what I was doing I told them I was taking pictures of the empty Hennepin Avenue. I told them the rain made the reflections look nice. They told me no, it didn't look nice and said my explanation made them believe i was suffering from some type of mental health crisis.

I was handcuffed/charged with jaywalking (didn’t) holding a large camera taking a photo of street outside this McDonald’s. While detained, MPD ignored multiple burglary calls. I had to take it all the way to trial where they tried to shake me down for a plea before dismissing 1 min before trial.

Using LLMs are extremely like using ouija boards for everything from writing your homework or novels or police reports or motions to object to police reports, except they're even worse because instead of asking ghosts you're asking 4chan & Reddit posters from 10 years ago

Sorry everyone, my wife asked me to delete the thread because it got too big. I'll let you know the next steps we take, if any. Fuck Target, Fuck Self Checkout, and Fuck AI though. We're exploring options with the lawyer.

Just out of frame

it just lifts my heart to feel heard. thanks, ICE lawyer. 💜

The reading pile aligning nicely for me such that I'm starting and ending the day with Witch Hat Atelier, love to see it.

Y'all need to get the fuck off Substack.

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

The Witch Hat Atelier adaptation continues to be stellar, especially with an extremely inspired addition to today's episode.
