This is the most blasΓ© admission of a war crime by a US president in history.

Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.

They may never get back to what we think is normal... it may be time to think about moving closer to where we work (if possible).

Or when simply out for a walk on a day as windy as this (was quite windy all morning here in Phoenix area)

YouTube video by Sequential Scholars How to Create a Social Media Setup for Publishing Scholarship

Happy to present our first online workshop on how other scholars can setup their social media to share their own work. We'd love to see more scholars taking this on and hopefully this can help get the ball rolling for some! #comicsstudies youtu.be/OD70PWiIFWY

I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say β€œ@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from

Why not? It sure worked for the oil and tobacco companies.

Ah yes... my not taking them seriously has come to (and stayed in) a middle.

Oh yeah! One ep never aired! It's on the boxed set though. Rentable also, I assume.

There are only 13 episodes, and together they are unmatched, in my opinion

One actor has passed on, a different character killed in-story. So we're down two, for sure

I'm with you. Even if they could re-catch that same lightning in a bottle, then I'd never be able to get enough.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Markwayne Mullin looks and sounds like some backwoods ding-dong that Raylan Givens has to throw in his car trunk on JUSTIFIED

Well, he certainly has some involvement, simply by killing the current one

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

And I truly believe he was selected since there's no way his replacement from Oklahoma will be anything but GOP MAGA.

Mullin is in the Senate

Not so clever! And getting Mullin out of the Senate is a bonus.

Yep. Replacement could be clever, as well as evil.

Album cover art for Black Sabbath's Master of Reality. On a solid black background: large purple all-caps "BLACK SABBATH" appears across the top half; large black (but shadowed to se the letter outlines) all-caps "MASTER OF REALITY" across the bottom half. A small purple Warner Bros. "WB" shield logo appears in the upper left corner.

They are so scared of the President and leader of THEIR OWN PARTY.
