Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Alice Wong, Presente. Thank you for everything.

Got a few new pieces of jewellery up on my shops if anyone’s interested! Shares/reposts appreciated

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Folded piece of paper in front of books on a bookshelf that says "Hi Reddit! AMA on 10/29, 9am ET, r/AskHistorians, on manga history! I'm/u/ahorbinski :)"

I'm doing an AMA in r/AskHistorians on Wednesday, starting at 9am Eastern! If you've got questions on the history of manga or media history, head on over to www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori... and ask!

Just a reminder this is up til the 31st! You've still got time if you'd like me to DM you the order link!

(Promise I'm not trying to gatekeep it, the artist had some parameters around posting it publicly and it's easier for me to manage this way)

Please dm me the link!

He was one of the most handsome men of all time! And deserves to be honored as such

Immediately after breaking the news to the group chat @fakegeeklady.bsky.social told a story about Mike Nichols choosing not to approach him for The Graduate because he was too hot for anyone to buy that he'd be rejected by any woman. And I honestly wouldn't want to memorialize him any other way.

At this stage, that's too tame an accusation.

None of these people are unaware they will be adding to the riches of an oligarch who will deploy these toward the elimination of trans people from society.

None of them deserve a minute of our time, a tuppence of our money. Not one.

so many teenage boners ruined!!!

WHAT THE WHAT IS THIS

Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” edited to look like Evelyn from Our Flag Means Death. She glances saucily over her shoulder with a knowing smirk, driving artist Mary Allamby wild with desire

The Widow Bonnet, celebrated graduate of the Jenkins School of Artistic Anachronism, cordially invites you to her gallery exhibition this #MurderWidows weekend! Tea and kebabs will be served.

“Widow with a Jade Earring”

This is how CECOT left a mark on my countrymen, their loved ones and Venezuela.

Nobody can agree on where Uptown starts and ends. Is there a true definition? Various sources yield everything from maximalist expanses to tightly bound to W. Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue.

Drawing of Stede from Our Flag Means Death. He's holding an open book. He's wearing little round glasses and a dark teal and pink robe. It's open deep to show his chest. His burn and knife stab scars are visible. There's a tiny tattooed heart above his exposed nipple. Sir, your tit.
