The robot stood on the pier, painting a seascape.

A man came up to it. "Trying to atone for your sins? The theft of art and prose your ancestors did?"

"Your ancestors," the robot said. "Generative AI was a dead end. It had no part in making me."

"I say it did!"

So the robot threw him in the sea.

I accidentally overheard my neighbor loudly arguing with Alexa about some kind of music selection. Part of me wished he just went "whatever" so I can continue enjoying the music through my window.

Alien and Sedition Acts (1798) EnlargeDownload Link Citation: An Act Concerning Aliens, July 6, 1798; Fifth Congress; Enrolled Acts and Resolutions; General Records of the United States Government; Record Group 11; National Archive...

TIL - the "Alien Enemies Act" (*) only pertains to those enemies "being males of the age of fourteen years and upwards".

It's from 1798 when women were too genteel to be enemies. (sarcasm). I'm sure that limitation really burns S Miller.

The United States Government has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the United States off the street and remove him from the country without due process. The Government's contention otherwise, and its argument that the federal courts are powerless to intervene, are unconscionable.

a tiny white dog stands on a tile floor and looks up at you. they’re wearing a big plush yellow star around their teensy noggin, like the world’s most congratulatory lion mane. we really needed to see her today.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

Neighborhood kids trick-treating.

Kid: "IT'S A RAPTOR! IT'S NOT A DINOSAUR."
