What worries me is how often the collapse of rotten empires was not the triumph of the people, but an unsustainable cascade of failures by a useless elite accompanied by things like war, plague, barbarians, and other disasters. So much avoidable suffering.

Such a good and obvious decision to show, "Hey, I'm not perfect at everything, but I'll try and have good and trusted people on my team who can help me cover every base/issue." Amazing how few politicians have the strength and confidence to embrace that reality.

Hell yeah baby I was definitely in the mood for some retro CIA Latin American assassination bumbling.

Agents Larry, Curly, and Moe are on the case- again!

That looks very warm and cozy. Nice job.

Principled hate mongers, while terrible, are at least predictable and inspire the best and most consistent resistance from the just.

One shudders to think what our Vice President would do or say for $5 and half a Snickers.

Why do the wings need that many joints? Very cursed.

This world record is brought to you by Jeffrey Epstein and his friends in the Republican Party. 🤝🤝

Well it's big anyway. Any more than 3 siblings and you're guaranteed at least one blood feud.

I expect Margaret Qualley to finally realize we were truly meant to be together.

If you think "AI" being obsequious is shitty & annoying, it pales to it condescendingly telling you your meatsack senses *MUST* be wrong, you idiot hairless chimp.

Apparently few people have played the Eternal Embers DLC & fewer still have written or made content about it, giving "AI" little to scrape & predict with.

It told me a quest I WAS DOING did not exist & an NPC I WAS TALKING TO was not in game.

This should take all jobs *nodding*.

Not having the full context would have bothered me.

Having the full context bothers me.

The jeopardy of the curious mind.

We're in a country full of people so violently ignorant they think the POTUS has a big lever in the Oval with "Good Stuff" on one end and "Bad Stuff" on the other so let's see how well Johnson's "the dems must help us form a quorum to clear Robert's parliamentarian" pitch goes.

AI produces shallower knowledge than web search, study finds Learning about a topic by interacting with AI chatbots like ChatGPT rather than following links provided by web search can produce shallower knowledge. Advice given on the basis of this shallow knowle...

You know the only thing that merited 6 month followup MRIs in my life?

A goddamned inoperable malignant spinal cord tumor.

So yeah, it's probably pretty serious. Rest in piss, you worthless destructive hateful stupid piece of shit.

And they're about to start letting people have sex with it, lord have mercy.

Yes it's dad rock but still fires up a stadium.

Gates lacks expertise in a whole host of fields except stealing tech and visiting Epstein's island but he sits atop his dragon hoard directing the B&MG's Foundation & has royally derailed a host of efforts from more qualified people.

No billionaires. None.

Ultra-HD televisions not noticeably better for typical viewer, scientists say Research shows 4K or 8K screens offer no distinguishable benefit over similarly sized 2K screen in average living room

Gonna just save the money on this.

CEO of the Alamo's historic site has resigned after a top Republican criticized her The CEO of the nonprofit managing the Alamo has resigned after a powerful Republican state official criticized her and suggested she has views that are not compatible with the Texas shrine's history

Remember, friends, The Texas Revolution was fought to expand chattel slavery into Texas. Not a fight for freedom from Mexican tyranny.

Article mentions @cltomlinson.bsky.social @realjasonstanford.bsky.social and Bryan Burrough's book, Forget the Alamo. I highly recommend it.

cherry no

I'll never forget when that imbecile Rick Perry moved to torpedo some nuclear-related issue on behalf of his oil+gas buddies only to find out, uh oh, power plant owner/developers were not all woke hippies and actually had some important phone numbers in DC.

My file server in the library to my media PC in the living room: "And how many old episodes of 'Transformers' do you want to watch right now?"
