I was not put on this earth to work. I was put here to get a new hobby every week and then move on as soon as I get even a little bit good at it

This looks like they just used AI to try to make a picture of Horizon

A four panel comic titled Bird Sounds. In panel 1, labeled thrush, a wood thrush sings its beautiful eeohlay song against a forest background. In panel 2, labeled wren, a winter wren delicately sings tweedly tweedly tweedly. In panel 3, labeled warbler, a yellow warbler delicately sings sweet sweet. In panel 4, labeled heron in a death metal font, a heron screams KRAAGH against a background of fire.

Another day of reminding everyone that: "If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I am very very very upset about climate change and the impact I know it's having and the lives we'll keep losing and the thriving that won't happen and the fact that any attempt to do anything about it is under sustained attack from the federal government.

That's one hell of a monitor

Ok

The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

A small hummingbird perched on a branch with iridescent deep magenta and purple plumage, dark wings, and a distinctive bright white cap on its head. The background is a smooth blur of green foliage.

My choice would be "3", as I prefer physically protected bicycle lanes.

My daughter Robyn was killed, in part, because a cab driver was blocking the bicycle lane.

Three weeks later my daughter Rachel was t-boned by the distracted driver of a car, while in a "paint" protected bicycle lane.

Graphite features

It does do raster, but it's not the focus. Here's the roadmap graphite.rs/features/#ro...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

They are doing Defund The Police in reverse: Gutting the social safety net and giving unlimited power to a vast, violent gestapo to deal with the consequences.

It won't but this should end anyone ever falling for the "Republicans are the party of the working class" schtick ever again.

Bazzite rules, everything I've tried to run just runs straight out of the box with no config.

Reminder: They’re afraid of Zohran because he’s better at this than they are. He is putting the people first, and it reminds them of their own failings.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

Ohh He's crying
He was all alone

A ground squirrel with a giant mouthful of grass that appears to look like a moustache.

Despite his impressive attempt at disguise, I'm fairly confident that this is, in fact, a Columbian Ground Squirrel. I have named him "Lanny." #wildlife

Meet The Marine Biologist Trying to Prevent Deep-Sea Mining "Using deep-sea mining to solve the climate crisis is like smoking to lower your stress," says Diva Amon.

"The ocean is one of our greatest allies in the fight against the climate crisis. To argue for using deep-sea mining to solve the climate crisis is like smoking to lower your stress."

A pink near-translucent animal with four tentacles and eight or more tube feet. It's sort of shapeless, like a condom that's been filled with water, but the tentacles remind me of antennae, and the tube feet look like something out of a cartoon. It sits on the sandy ocean bottom.

They're a type of sea cucumber, but we've decided to call them SEA PIGS. Let's meet 'Scotoplanes globosa'.

They live on the bottom of the sea, on abyssal plains.

They're adapted to crushing depths (up to 6,000 m / 20,000 feet) & near-freezing temps.

This is a really great example of how the decent, valid uses of machine learning and LLMs are totally subsumed by the push to label everything "AI".
