We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

I can’t recall another politician ever expressing this direct of a sentiment before. (depressing! it’s so simple!) it’s difficult to explain how it feels to wake up and find your country is bombing the place your family grew up. again

anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism

Making Fantasy a Reality: Former Altoona YMCA building slated to become fantasy art museum An Australia native who lives in London has purchased the vacant former Altoona YMCA — then KNY — on Lexington Avenue so he can turn it into a museum for fantasy and imaginative art, using his own 15,...

Weow! If I guessed correctly, my artwork is a very tiny fraction of this particular collection (a fantasy art collection of some 15,000 works). This is incredible news!

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

The King is mad

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

Inside the SAI interface, we see a sleeping woman with long gray-white hair, halo and veil. She has wings with sprouted flowers and a reptilian tail. Her black and white dress is also decorated with flowers. She is surrounded by mysterious scaly arms resembling the paws of a dragon.
