that cat looks so much like a bunny

I've been listening to the audiobook of @karenhao.bsky.social's 'Empire of AI', so I'm certainly aware of Dario Amodei. But I didn't know what he looked like, so I was all confused wondering what Matthew Rhys had to do with any of this, LOL.

I'm now realizing that if her life's in danger -- and that's a greater than zero probability -- moving her to country club prison likely increased that risk.

I joked with a friend that if CTs get cheap enough, it'd be fun to buy a used one, tear off all the shabby body panels, and replace them with something fun. Like make my own weinermobile or something.

While I'm in no position to disagree with you on legal questions, when has Trump ever complied with the law?
Worse: simply the suggestion that his power might be limited would likely provoke him to do something like ask the VA or FL gov to lend their National Guard, legality be damned.

Also... what bars is she having to tolerate children in? There literally are bars that don't allow children.

God works in...
okay, this has been bugging me for some time now: "mysterious" doesn't even begin to convey it. It's fuckin bizarre, the way God works. Like, WHY do it that way. It's like You're practically daring us to reject logic and our senses to believe You're... um... "working".

You got your duck asses and your ass gooses, and ne'er the twain would meet, until ass meetings.

You have ass meetings?! And how the heck are those ever boring?

I guess the allies "earned" West Germany by the end of the war, and then we just, I don't know,*gave it back* like a bunch of suckers?

...Wait, now I've said it out loud in jest, I'm realizing they might actually think this.

Is there a word for "we can't just dismiss this otherwise ridiculous and unbelievable thing, because other more ridiculous and unbelievable things have already happened"? A German word, even?

Dear @wired.com,

My wife keeps hiding my latest issue of your magazine, because she can't stand the sight of RFK Jr. Please advise.

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS, EXCEPT EARTH AND ITS MOON. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.
SERIOUSLY. THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, STAY FAR AWAY.

I just assumed it was a joke. Now... if he comes back with a real link about an actual thing that's happened in the real world, god help us.

Actual anxiety reading this.

Re your bio: niche drivel really is the best kind of drivel.

As you're describing this, I'm imagining a huge room packed full of jostling, straining, bald meatheads muttering intensely at each other. They are all Joe Rogan.

you are 100% correct; I don't know enough about it to know how you were able to ascertain that, though LOL

OMG I remember using GeOS/Geoworks/Jane(?) around 1985? I was 13 or 14 yrs old so my memory is hazy. But it was very clear this was the future of computing.

and fuck em if they take the offer

You and me both.

Will Smith *not* punching the alien: "welcome to Earth!"

I appreciate where you're going, but can we go a step further and say creepy men have a problem with it? The WNBA was just minding its own business before this started happening.
