The government illegally took your money.

They wonโ€™t give it back.

There's a lot of stuff to bookmark for this movie. Possibly Yogurt, Fruit Rollups, maybe new Bubbly flavors, Yoshi egg shaped pre-made cookies you bake, probably more.

Iโ€™m thinking thatโ€™s going to make for a really interesting ADA lawsuit when they those robots make the sidewalks unnavigable for someone in a wheelchair or otherwise physically disabled.

The first time I saw one I thought โ€œoh thatโ€™s kind of cute, is it an experiment or somethingโ€

And now I look at their cold fake eyes as they impede pedestrians and think โ€œif it wasnโ€™t polluting Iโ€™d consider pitching you into the riverโ€ so I guess Iโ€™m a bad person

Remember news articles about hitchhiking robots that always ended with โ€œand Americans immediately destroyed it because theyโ€™re bad peopleโ€?

Anyway the campus food delivery robots pile up, blocking sidewalks and forcing pedestrians to walk in the snow drifts instead and I gotta say I get it now

A pixel art canvas showcasing retro styled aprites of Browt, a grass type, yellow bean chick pokemon with its trademark leaf brows, Pombon, the friendly  fire type Puppy pokemon and Gecqua, the water gecko pokemon, with a clever slightly mischievous expression. The three sprites are made in the style of Pokemon GSC, following space and color limitations.

Itโ€™s worth remembering that Chuck Schumer still refuses to endorse Mamdani.

When Democrats like Schumer visit the White House they talk about the need for bipartisanship, which just means offering a bunch of concessions and ceding ground to the right.

It says something when Zohran shows them up

Itโ€™s amazing how Anthropic already had partnerships with the US Military and Palantir, and its AI was even used during the kidnapping of Maduro.

But now theyโ€™re a radical left woke company because they wonโ€™t agree to the US DoW using it for autonomous weapons that kill without human oversight.

Ah, the golden age of magazine advertising

Followed by a true "graphic design is my passion" two-page ad for Philips electronics

Iโ€™m not blaming Netflix for taking the money and deciding to get out of the nepo babyโ€™s playpen.
If youโ€™re been dumped for a heavily leveraged deal and youโ€™ve already spent more than you ever have on an M&A?
Take that $3Bln, bail, take advantage of their inevitable fuck ups, and come back later.

The main force multiplier with UBI is worker choice, not necessarily productivity gains. I'm happy to work long hours as long as I'm not being forced to with the threat of homelessness or lack of health care. Most people want to be productive and doing what they love doing.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Instagram will soon alert Canadian parents when teens search self-harm content: Hereโ€™s how to get the notifications Instagram will be rolling out new protections that will alert Canadian parents when their teen searches for self-harm content. Hereโ€™s how to set-up parental supervision so you can get the alerts.

PLEASE: If this is behind a paywall, let me know:

As a parent, I understand wanting this, but as someone who thinks there is already too much 1984 going on in our lives, it terrifies me, especially given who owns Instagram:

Honestly, with all the debt the Ellisons are taking on to make this work, Netflix can hang back for half a decade, specifically bet against all the trash debt this deal will be built on, using the proceeds of that short to buy that combined WarnerMount for half what Warner alone would've cost them.

The screenshot of the release notes reads:

A new version of TeX Live Utility is available!
TeX Live Utility 1.55 is now available-you have 1.54. Would you like to download it now?
Release Notes:
Changes Since 1.54
โ€ข Fix bug 137, homepage link in Help Book.
โ€ข First release in a long time, since I don't use TeX anymore and resent the very idea of paying Apple annually for the privilege of giving away free and open-source software. Also, I'm really lazy. Please accept my apologies for all the annoying issues you've encountered in this mission-critical software.
โ€ข Updated mirror list, which was three years out of date.
โ€ข Added missing legacy mirrors, which was even more out of date.
โ€ข Added an alert on startup when user tries Homebrew's lobotomized MacTex, because those lunatics left timgr but removed its database.
Thanks for nothing, guys. Bug 142 and 144.
โ€ข Use a custom user-agent to work around the Anubis bot trap on texlive.info. Can't wait to see what else breaks because of this, thanks to the profusion of degenerate Artificial Insemination fetishists scraping websites to feed their models.
โ€ข Lists of countries in Repository/Continent are now sorted. No idea how you people let me get away with that one for the last fifteen years.
