The fact that he felt empowered to do this in front of 30 people filming is also pretty telling

ICE shooter Joshua Jahn's politics aren't what's being reported, three longtime former friends tell me. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

Dang, I ain't done got raptured, y'all

See, like this

For those who are wondering but can't be bothered looking it up, "paracetamol" and "acetaminophen" are both shortened forms of the same term: para-acetylaminophenol, which is the chemical name of the drug in question. Same like how Peggy and Daisy are both short for Margaret.

Done. I'm surprised they didn't ask for my immortal soul and my firstborn child as well.

Overreach worthy of Inspector Gadget

I think we might be pipped by Italy this week.

What time? US time? Greenwich time? Or is it a rolling thing like New Years?

I guess we'll find out who really runs it when they break up, huh

Mad as a cut snake.

May, 1662. The Elector of Brandenburg rises from his bed and stands before his long, curly periwig on its stand. He addresses it: "Guten morgen, mein hair."

These people are the deranged output of a glitchy AI. Change my mind.

If the British monarchy went broke and Charles had to catch the train to work, I guess he's be King Commute.

My statement formally recognising the State of Palestine.

It's important to understand that these are not mere bugs. LLMs are designed to impersonate intelligence, not to be intelligent.

What's effectively happening here (in the British media at large, too) is the construction of "anti-racism" as somehow a "political alternative" to racism, rather than as a minimal civilisational standard, which in turn (further) vindicates racism as *also* an acceptable political position.

Absolutely wild. Israel targeted and massacred 31 journalists and media staff in Yemen. The second-deadliest attack on journalists ever recorded. The Israeli regime is built on war crimes.

Who is this "Will Stencil" character

No shit.

Dutch late night TV has its take

DnD at 20: My Berserker Barbarian, with his Edgelord Warlock sidekick, seeks to defeat the Dark Gods and save the world from Evil. DnD at 50: My Hedgehog Watchmaker (Artificer) and his Faerie Pastry Chef (Lore Bard) sidekick seek the finest marmalade and cosiest tea party in all the hedgerows.

Possibly the best ad / product promotion in history youtu.be/r-F5B79l2QY?...

"At a time when left and right have never been more opposed, they have somehow become one" [I couldn't be bothered penetrating the paywall to find out what this psychobabble is about]

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

Oh. That doesn’t seem right

political media enthusiastically reporting the negative response to labor's energy policy from the coalition parties who famously don't have an energy policy. why would you do that?

Yep yep killing folks for engaging in basic subsistence activities. Nice one.

No coincidence that Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes without part of its shore in Canada - home of THOSE GODDAMN PORNO SMUGGLERS

I've seen a bunch of online content lately advertised as "No AI - all our content is produced by humans". Think of it as an unhealthy food additive.

Saw some strange clouds today.

He was a "conservative activist" in the same way that Goebbels was a conservative activist. I don't think Jenna's essay will be "controversial" to most readers.

Sisyphus the Spider climbed up the water spout Down came the rain and washed poor Sisyphus out Out came the sun and dried up all the rain So Sisphyus the Spider climbed up the spout again.... and again.... and again.....

[disdainfully] well, I for one wasn't kung-fu fighting

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

They forgot "quoting him"

Silmarillion summaries #1: The Tale of Beren and Luthien - "Just a girl, a boy and their dog, off to defeat an evil god."

Last time I looked, the 'majesté' bit of 'lèse-majesté' didn't mean some far-right podcaster with an attitude problem.

Ah yes, Jesus Christ - crusader against empathy.

Speaking ill of him appears to include quoting basically anything he said, verbatim.

The best bit is, they are now saying publicly what they have thought all along.

Every time Intel brings out new wifi drivers, the old ones on my laptop stop working, so I can't download the new ones. Great work. [I have work-arounds, but it's an idiotic state of affairs by any measure.]

Even if it is only 200K, that's 10% of the pre-genocide population of Gaza - literal decimation. Now throw in deaths from indirect causes (disease, starvation, destruction of health infrastructure) and maimings, and the picture is catastrophic.

The Groypers were one of the most powerful Flemish banking dynasties of the 16th century.

[the shooter is unidentified] the left must be purged with the sword [the shooter is, again, a compulsive masturbator who loved Hitler] I believe it was pascal who said that the heart has reasons that reason may not know

Waiting eagerly for all the retractions
