On a positive note, my sister-in-law made us cola de mono, and it is fucking delicious.

this guy is lib desantis - a complete loser who will 100% fizzle the moment he has to leave the protective reef of california politics for the wider ocean, and the only reason anyone's deluding themselves otherwise is cuz they're clinging to "I NEED A SAVIOR, ANY SAVIOR, AND I RECOGNIZE THAT NAME"

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Funny how we think of Scrooge as a miser but of course the whole point of the story is how he becomes a paragon of generosity Maybe we should try terrifying more rich people out of being evil and see if we can get some more super sick looking libraries

Fuck.

Me, every time I remember that I live in the US while Trump is president.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Okay, but this is huge for designing and 3D printing deck boxes and the like.

My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

How about everyone cancel their subscriptions like they did when Kimmel was removed from his late night show? It would probably make a difference like last time.

Revenge of the Sith. I got invited to a premier at the theatre an hour's drive away. We parked, blasted the soundtrack that I'd gotten the week before as a birthday gift. Dude shows up with a trunk full of toy lightsabers and hands them out, kicking off a massive battle in front of the theatre.

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI. We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think. stuff like this maybe

Rahm can go fuck himself.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map. This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026. The vote failed big, 19/31. The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...
