Proposal: instead of giving ChatGPT tens of billions of dollars to fail to create artificial intelligence, give me, an Actual Intelligence, a mere $10 million and I will gladly do a spreadsheet wrong for you from time to time for a modest fee.

it’s honestly astonishing in this day and age when republicans experience consequences for their actions

Yup, autonomous, conservative branches of the American/Canadian Episcopalian/Anglican church have joined GAFCON in the schism, after breaking off by themselves previously, I believe. Schisms all the way down

Happy Farm'n Friday! HM: Home Sweet Home SE now wishlist-able on Steam, a mobile version of Gaucho is announced, several indie farm'n game demos during Steam Next Fest, and upcoming game Starsand Island announces a collab with My Time at Portia - fogu.com/hm/

It’s wild how many old webcomics have straight up disappeared from the internet.

I continued to be baffled at this. It looks terrible for Johnson, for the GOP, and most of all for Trump - drawing extra attention to the Epstein story - while further energizing Dems. And for what? To postpone by a bit one moderately tough vote?

remember that these clowns still like money. threaten their money when they go fascist and sometimes they back off.

amazing how you can write about culture professionally and still have no idea what’s going on in the world

“They literally ushered us into the street to protest and immediately after started beating the shit out of us.” This is 100% an accurate description of how this started. Broadview PD mishandled the situation from the start, then unleashed ISP to beat the protesters they’d led into the street.

Just downloaded/installed/used the ✨completely free✨ "O&O ShutUp10++," and disabled a lot of the spyware/phone home/surveillance aspects of my Windows PC. Clean, compact, quick. Single .exe, no install, one-click "disable recommended" option. Great program. www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this

Sam Altman has also said that he wants to build 250 gigawatts of data center capacity by 2033, which will cost $10 Trillion in real dollars to do. The business and financial press has to stop printing everything he says without giant warnings and disclaimers. www.wheresyoured.at/openai400bn/...

it’s so obvious they never really cared too much about soros other than using him as some shadowy cabal because elon musk openly influences other countries politics with his unlimited money in ways soros has only dreamed of lol

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.

Oh, shit. The Epstein files are coming.

I’m such a sucker for when anime do promo art with the main characters wearing modern day outfits that they’d never actually wear

This my official (late) announcement that I'm thrilled to share the podcast series I've been working on with a dream team over the last few years. Collateral Damage is a gutting examination of the half century long war on drugs that has built a massive war machine aimed at the public.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

#ICYMI: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant. By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads. By @ashleyhiruko.bsky.social, w/ @kuow.org

literally no need for this the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems. I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Michigan has a similar bill, House Bill 4938, that is also seeking the same goals!

they’re almost certainly purposefully targeting her at this point

Questions: --Are the survivors actually being detained? --If so, military detention or law enforcement detention by USCG? If military detention, no AUMF as legal authority, so bare Article II seems only theory. A problem I flagged when I was first made aware of this scheme to attack boats.

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 10/17 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) The winter weather predictions are rolling in, and Seattle is supposed to be both colder and wetter than usual. In any other place, that would mean snow. Here, it means shaggier moss, festive mildew, and house spiders.

killjoy was here

Piece of evidence #1403: Tech companies, even consumer-facing ones are doing the math and they see that a authoritarian police state is a money maker for them. While they continue to hope the public buys their product, they hungrily build free tools for law enforcement w/ deep pockets and influence.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

The Mighty Nein follows a group of fugitives and outcasts, bound by secrets and scars. Watch the #IGNFanFest for the highly anticipated new series from Critical Role.

Omg, the solution to CIA's Kryptos being discovered by someone becoming a subject matter expert, going on location, and finding the plaintext sitting in a vault several miles away is the absolute *perfect* ending to Kryptos. You couldn't write it. Just absolutely A+ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/s...

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

idk how niche it is but i maintain and will always maintain my stance that always-on DRM/other license-related snitching should be illegal. it would be unreasonable for Walmart to send someone to my house and demand proof of purchase for a hammer i bought months ago. why is Celsys allowed lol
