The “shield” is intolerable here as well.

“Parents tried to shield their children from water. Instead they died of dehydration.”

That’s what the @nytimes.com headline here says. Both “shield” and “instead” appallingly reinforce anti-vax attitudes and frames.

If I were a Kurd, and Trump told me the sky was blue, I’d go outside to make sure it wasn’t a red glowing nuclear hell scape.

The Kurds? The Kurds?!? Do they know that the Kurds have longer memories than a stunned pigeon? And even longer memories than your average American?

A young coyote standing in tall weeds stares intently at the viewer.

Affirmation Coyote sees you've made it through Tuesday.

They never doubted you would.

Rest well, and get ready to limber up for the climb over the Hump!

Tonight On Pod Save America: Graham Platner Has A Final Solution For Income Inequality

And there it is …

What privacy? Meta's smart glasses are filming unwitting naked people Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are a privacy nightmare, with footage of naked people, sensitive information, and violent acts captured and seen by Meta's AI and an army of employees.

Buried lede: Meta sends all your nudes to Kenya where humans annotate it and feed it to AI

Yep. They would just get tired of dealing with their shit.

The Constitution doesn’t protect shit, people do, the Constitution is just a fucking tool and an agreed set of rules.

The Cybertruck is an example of people thinking that Cyber is cool without the Punk.

I sometimes get “street food from x,” in my feed, and I often think that you must need a really dense area to support the variety I see.

So not just a fan of the ttrpg. Although I would bet the Mossimo logo and the one I posted are part of the same graphic art family tree,

Who can blame a meerkat for divorcing such a homophobe?

“As soon as possible.” What a maniac, this was perfectly predictable and should have been prepared for.

It feels like digital convenience was pushed from something that worked great for 40% of things, to worked well for 80%, and trying to push it into the last 1% is breaking all of it.

You're absolutely right. I lied about the message being an indecipherable SOS. I imprudently recommended against warning the search party. I violated quarantine by letting an infected crew member back in. And I tried to kill you with a rolled up magazine. That's on me,

And as carbon emissions are brought down in steel production that number will get smaller and smaller.

Steel is a tough one, but not impossible.

Piece in the Middle East.

The word, “Cyberpunk” is written in stylized red letters on a black background.

Out of curiosity, did it look like this?

There's an Anime series coming to Netflix called Wind Breaker.

I choose to not look up what it's actually about.

But I am going to have to come up with a new title for my epic autobiography.

I’m exaggerating for effect, but who knows, it could get that silly.

This is like shooting the horse that doesn’t make the jump, until one does, and then congratulating yourself on your brilliant horse selection strategy.

I predict, after watching Landman, you will come to the conclusion we should bomb all the wind farms to prevent them from destroying all the oil.

When you’re busy feeding the hopper to the sausage maker, no bit of meat is a distraction from any other bit of meat. That includes the butcher’s thumb.

None of the acts of this administration are distractions from any other. They are all just meat.

Epic Tantrum is more like it.

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing: Hey Evil Hat team, Promised this is the last time you’ll hear from me. We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend. I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can. Want in before we close it up? Best, [redacted] And then our reply: Hi [redacted], We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games. In short, it's not "free work" it's theft. Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit. -Tom

sometimes you have to be clear about your values

Easy:

It’s wild how Republicans went from:

“Obama is using Jade Helm to set up secret FEMA death camps and is going to turn the US into a police state and take our guns!!!”

To:

“Surveil me harder, daddy. 🥵”

/2 “WE will use our stable of pseudo-academic ideological stooges to craft a justification to take away the right. It doesn’t matter if their justification is preposterous because WE are in control and ludicrousness of the argument is part of the display of our power.”
