I always chase the couple with pain sticks at Klingon weddings 😢

For no particular reason 😏

Our next congressman🤞

Roll back your calendar to 1982 for this one.

My hometown was one of the Allies' primary bombing targets back in the 1940s because our chemical works produced artificial rubber for the war effort. It is, in fact, perfectly common for military strikes to target things involved in the enemy's war machine. There's nothing new about this.

there's currently a bunch of subway ads up for a shitty AI product, pitching stuff like "we'll make that slideshow presentation for you!"

and, my brother in electrified silicon,

1) making the slides is like 75% of how I memorize and refine my presentation &
2) making slides is creative and fun.

TNG "The Battle"; Wesley Crusher in his red/gold/blue striped outfit, turning to smile at Troi and Doctor Crusher as they leave the room, with caption: You're welcome, ladies.

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”

international women’s day

Preferred names were even important in the 1930s, and the NYT was a dick about it then too.

I saw this movie high as hell and turned to my coworkers and said “I do not care for this copaganda, this is revisionist as to the role of police as groups of armed men with the monopoly on violence,” and one of my coworkers also very high started crying

Two new directors made a slew of changes, including excising elements that suggested Elio was gay. Earlier versions included a pink bicycle and a scene in which he imagined raising a child with his male crush, according to people who worked on the movie. The changes disappointed some at Pixar, which has gender-neutral bathrooms and a history of supporting LGBT employees. They were further discouraged by the removal of references to a character being transgender in a Disney+ series called "Win or Lose." Docter said Pixar found some parents didn't want entertainment to force them to have a conversation they weren't ready for with their children. "We're making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy," he said.

The full WSJ article getting passed around is bewildering. They cut gay elements from Elio because "We're making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy," and it lost $100 million.

Inside Out 2, which is a movie about a teen girl's feelings, was their biggest hit at $1.7 billion.

Sosa-Celis, 24, and Aljorna, 26, worked as Door Dash delivery drivers to support their partners and toddler sons. During the federal operation, that job put them at risk. So friends and neighbors dropped food and toys at their doorstep. The kids stayed home. But on that particular evening, Aljorna decided to make a delivery. While on Interstate 94, an unmarked vehicle carrying two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers attempted to pull him over, mistaking Aljorna for another target

This story in the Strib about ICE shooting over North has this part that is heartbreaking. Many of the adults living in the duplex hadn't left to go work because they didn't feel safe and that night a few did a DoorDash delivery and then this happened.

White text on a black background from the opening of an episode of Law and Order: “The following is fictitious. No actual person or event is depicted.”

“Please don’t sue us”

Meanwhile here is a great example of a Democrat pushing back when the media says “you won’t vote for these obviously bad faith bills to support the illegal war, why do you hate the troops / are you soft on terrorism???” nonsense instead of just accepting the GOP framing.

If CNN is just going to parrot any garbage that comes out of the department of war, they are done as a news organization. Dignified? He’s wearing a baseball cap you lousy fucking bootlickers.

It is also a huge contrast to see Dan getting the endorsements of a bunch of rando organizations while Lander is getting a ton of endorsements from other progressive representatives.

A CRYPTO NERD'S IMAGINATION: HIS LAPTOP'S ENCRYPTED. LET'S BUILD A MILLION-DOLLAR CLUSTER TO CRACK IT. NO GOOD! IT'S 4096 - BIT RSA! BLAST! OUR EVIL PLAN IS FOILED! WHAT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN: HIS LAPTOPS ENCRYPTED. DRUG HIM AND HIT HIM WITH THIS $5 WRENCH UNTIL HE TELLS US THE PASSWORD. GOT IT.

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

The Anthropic versus Pentagon conflict is at least three questions which the media skipped asking

1. Should a computer be able to kill people?

2. What’s an acceptable error rate for that computer given LLMs 5% hallucination rate?

3. Can the government force you to sell them your tech to kill?

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

Headline: "Good news! Pete Hegseth wanted Scouting America to ban trans kids. The organization said no way!"

Actual story: "We do not put boys and girls together in intimate spaces and in order to do that we need to have some knowledge of who they are," Krone said.

At this point even my parents stopped watching Maher like over five years ago. My step father describes Bill as a cranky racist old white man yelling at the kids to get off his lawn.

(It is not actually a Doctor Who crossover)

It’s the episode where the ex wife of a nuclear physicist is blown up by a mail bomb. Season 4?

That lady is now just blocking everyone for calling her out on being awful.

Now Anna is just blocking people. With self righteous people like her as advocates for Harris, it is no wonder the Democrats keep losing.

It is worth noting that Mamdani started off his campaign by talking to Democrats in NYC who voted for Trump, and instead of lecturing them about it, he asked what the Democrats would need to do to win them back. He listened and then he won. Anna would prefer to feel self righteous and keep losing.

"It's your fault for not voting for her!"

"I voted for her."

"Well it's still your fault not hers!"

I can't with these people. Same conversation everytime.
