The new volume of Skip and Loafer is great!

Especially if you’re a millennial/平成キッズ

I saw the new Linda Linda Linda 4k restoration. That movie holds up extremely well. Highly recommend

I understand Japanese so I could tell you what he’s saying, but he’s just describing the tailoring of the suit, so I think someone with knowledge like yours can probably tell everything he is saying just by looking

The conservative council just had to get in one last big fuck you to Seattleites before they lose their super majority and mayor in November

M365 Copilot fails to up productivity in UK government trial : AI tech shows promise writing emails or summarizing meetings. Don't bother with anything more complex

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results:

1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

I am not seeing "Constitutional amendment reversing Citizens United" on any of these New Reconstruction wishlists folks are circulating, and.

Absent starting over from scratch, I don't see us establishing any semblance of democracy here without that plus Supreme Court expansion.

Two maps of Seattle are side-by-side. Above, text says, Seattle Police CCTV Camera Coverage. The map on the left is labeled “Current” and has two small red blobs - one is in part of downtown and one is up north. The map on the right is labeled “Proposed” and has many more red blobs and red dots spread throughout the city. Maybe a couple of hundred spots. Below is bold white text on a red background saying, “City Council Vote Tuesday September 9 at 2pm”. At the bottom: tinyurl.com/stop-cctv

Summer in Seattle is pretty nice. With the caveat that this has been a cool year, the hottest it’s been the whole summer is 90 (on a handful of days)

We need everyone back in the office because we want the serendipitous magic that only happens when you let humans get creative together and also we're replacing all of you with an AI machine that can only do things that it's seen done before

It works immediately. Opted out, refreshed my profile, and it was gone.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Today I learned that the Costco we go to is the original Costco. That explains why the layout of the lot is weird and totally fucked

If you actually want to know what it says, in brief, it’s Char speaking to the reader saying “Hey you, person who has finished the story mode, did you think that was the end? There’s a mode where YOU can pilot the mobile suit instead of Amuro. The battles are even harder, but you can handle it.”

Now if only it was actually capable of giving consistently reliable answers….

I’m also in a reading slump so can’t help you there, but I just wanted to say that based on the shelves in the background, you have great taste in manga!
