If Texas politicians can get arrested for leaving the state shouldn’t Ted Cruz be in the electric chair by now

they're trying to turn "Big Balls got carjacked by teenagers" into the Reichstag fire, and I wish I were more certain it won't work

Finances at home are about to get a little tough soon due to some unforeseen circumstances.

So, hey, great time to pre-order the upcoming paperback release of The Relentless Lark (digital is also available). Pairs well with the first volume of Young Offenders and The Relentless Adventure.

one thing about the genuinely liberal media is that it’s too focused on serious stuff. we need a media ecosystem that covers this the way Fox covers Sydney Sweeney ad hysteria

I wonder how it would have been framed if Joe Biden had been in a delusional fantasy world about key aspects of the job.

IDK, man. Every goddamned product in a German pharmacy is homeopathic. To the point where you literally can't assume that any remedy has any real medicine in it.

OK I'm not sure why there is "spanking/hitting kids is good actually" discourse and I don't care to dive in.

But it's not, actually.

You're supposed to be better than your parents who might have physically disciplined you because they probably didn't know better.

Stop it.

I have spent multiple weeks working on this story. We are not dropping it. I hope you will give this a read.

All the boot that’s fit to lick

BREAKING: Gov. Mike Braun confirms Vice President JD Vance is coming to Indiana Thursday to discuss possibly redistricting in the state.

We will have a story up soon on the issue, including the possible legal constraints of such a move.

They LITERALLY want dead women to have to carry fetuses to term but live babies to die of preventable illnesses. That’s a GOAL of theirs, not a side effect.

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

I have to hold out hope that our timeline has not reached such depths of stupidity that this generation’s Reichstag Fire will be “the assault of Big Balls.”

Galaxy, Dreamer, Adam Strange, Star Sapphire, Green Arrow

Just to catch everyone up, @nicoleamaines.bsky.social revealed at NYCC that she and I are writing a Justice League Unlimited story together starring Dreamer and Galaxy, as well as Star Sapphire, Adam Strange and Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) on a mission on Naltor, Dreamer's home planet.

it's on howdy. you can find it on yeehaw. it's literally on darn tootin

The idea is clearly "we have to fill a bunch of space on the sides with stuff that isn't actually part of the frame to make it 'immersive'" but maybe that's why this is a shitty venue for things that aren't designed for it?

NIAID (NIH) & BARDA developed & oversaw a vaccine that, according to a Congressional report, saved millions of U.S. lives–and the reward for that is dismantling support for a technology that is not only useful for infectious disease, but is very promising for cancer treatment.

Trump take cure.

Cher in CLUELESS saying "and may I remind you it does not say RSVP on the Statue of Liberty" is officially left of the Democratic Party

if it weren't an absolute fuckery of the environment, the one actual use for AI might be to divert the gobshite commentariat into pointless pseudo-discourse like this sparing everyone else from ever having to interact with them again

I heard "Kiss from a Rose" from BATMAN FOREVER on the oldies station earlier and realized that it is 30 years old.

That means the movie and the song are older now than the 1966 Adam West TV show was when BATMAN FOREVER came out in 1995.

If you're going to send me something written by an LLM then save us all time and resources and just send me your prompt instead. I'll value a text that says "Heartfelt condolence message with reference to a list of events" more, because this way I at least actually know what you were thinking

Tom Fishburne cartoon from https://marketoonist.com/2023/03/ai-written-ai-read.html aptly describing how AI creates messages from three bullet points into expanded text ... which is fed at the other end into AI to extract three bullet points. Lossly, one assumes.

Convicted felons are more upset about Ghislaine Maxwell getting favorable treatment from her good friend and literal partner-in-crime Donald Trump than any elected Republicans.

Even the Republicans who are also convicted felons.

This is disgraceful trash. Shame on the AHA and any historian who goes along with this.

Generative “A.i.” is controlled by billionaires. If you use that tech, you let billionaires control the information you absorb.

We saw Grok go Nazi. What prevents a billionaire from corrupting any other LLM?

A tweet saying "every single municipal budget looks like the dril candle budget tweet" with a graph showing Police taking like 90% of a city's budget. Baltimore specifically.

When people talk about how systemic and structural issues don't exist but the data all looks like this.

This is real I shit you not

r/ChatGPTPro u/vurto • 28d If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work? Discussion It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque. On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't. All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction. I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read). And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable. How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with. I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".

You're so close

With ongoing pressure campaigns, not everyone can push 100% all the time

If you and maybe a friend or two can jump in "late"? You give people a chance to recharge their batteries, so they can take over again once you need to recharge yours

Its a marathon, not a race

Get ready to drop Twitch, YouTube, various podcasts, etc.

This is it. This is your personal line. You either support platforms that take money for the Gestapo recruitment ads or you don't. You do not get a third option.
