Heads up folks: @thetnholler.bsky.social posted an AI-generated video this morning that was a deepfake of the captain of the U.S. women’s hockey team, and they seem to be promoting it as if it’s a real video. So watch out for that and don’t spread fakes.

And those cars probably don't have nearly the mileage and/or runtime of a city bus.

<Googles> I thought the series was from the '00s, but I guess not... That's just when I got access to broadband and a PC fast enough to play the WC3 and newer games ;)
1996? Really?

I want to say it was over half the episodes... I'm probably wrong, I'd all but forgotten that show existed!

I remember having to pirate that series (I think I watched it on RealPlayer... gods I'm old)... And vaguely remember wondering about the number of times Blair & Marshall got shot down ;)

It's a fakeout though, Tolwyn isn't revealed to be the Big Bad until later... If I recall (need to play it again), Tolwyn apologizes to Blair in their first scene together for how he treated him during the Kilrathi War...

At least I still have my 3DFX Voodoo 2 cards, in SLI no less! :D

There was an interview I heard years ago with a paralyzed mountain biker who was told in the 80s that he should look for an assisted living home to live out his days. The hospital staff also threatened to take away his wheelchair when they caught him doing wheelies in the parking lot with it :P

I am coming in late to this but y'all. If you have material that you use regularly that you don't currently have a digital copy of ... MAKE A DIGITAL COPY OF IT. Make two! Then save them somewhere that isn't your university computer or university cloud account (like an external hard drive)

It’s very interesting how media outlets like 404 and Wired who do tech and not DC cocktail party circuit slop have covered the Musk angle best because their guiding light isn’t getting a ticket to next weeks book release party in Georgetown

T-Rex: "New wave" music is from the 1970s: a post-punk and more electronics-based sound!

T-Rex: BUT! T-Rex: There's also "bossa nova" music, which, translated, ALSO means "new wave", and it's from the 50s with a calmer, samba-influenced sound! So what the heck, how can there be TWO new waves in music??
Dromiceiomimus: If you don't like that, then don't look up "modernism"! Narrator: BUT HE DOES:
T-Rex: Modernism is from the NINETEENTH CENTURY?? That's not modern, that is HISTORY TIMES!!

Utahraptor: Look, you've got to accept that everything NEEDS a name, but plenty of names don't make sense now, or sometimes never did - and many concepts are unstable or evolving. Use them as signifiers of concepts, not of meaning!
T-Rex: ...NO! No, I'd rather art make sense, thank YOU very much!! Narrator: LATER, ART DOES NOT MAKE SENSE:
T-Rex: #$%@!

nobody tell him about new new wave, and the upcoming new new new wave (FINAL_2_222_updated)

I think he became naturalized a few years ago, but does he still have multiple citizenships? If he hasn't he should at least have to give them up like Cruz did (I have complicated feelings about multiple citizenships for people in government positions, as a person with multiple citizenships myself)

Don't like AI search results in google? Add "-AI" to your search query. And need to run more tests, but it looks like if you want to remove AI *and* video results, add "fucking" to your query:
"fucking install lineage"
