cardinal sin.
(The other reason to be upset: The same committee recommended America 250 quarters themed to abolitionism and suffrage. Trump's Treasury Secretary DID scrap those, because they're evil)

Folks, I regret to inform you: This design was OK'd by the Citizens Coin Advisory Committee in...October 2024. Its design was set in place when Biden was in office. The designer left out the olive branch to symbolize the colonists' not yet achieving peace, but hoping for it. Trump didn't do this.
Things I've yelled at my pets I hope no one overheard number 746;
"Stop trying to hump your sister!"
This little menace has spring fever and had to be but in solitary last night, as he wouldn't leave Penny alone. They're both neutered 😒

These kinds of debates (I guess debate is the word?) make me sad. “AI” in the big picture is a fascist scam built on plagiarism, labor exploitation, and environmental destruction. The underlying LLM and ML technologies are remarkable achievements with all kinds of impressive use cases!
I don't understand when someone tries to blame a person's bad politics on being young.
When I was young I made silly political decisions, but it was stuff like believing Barack Obama would close Guantanimo Bay not I used to think some people didn't deserve rights.
You got stats to back that up? Every survey I check says it's close. 54-46, but that's not split by ethnicity. And no one ever asked them if they're racist.
You've been warned, Gen Z.
Wait, I thought they'd won? They said they'd utterly destroyed Iran's means of defence and offence? What gives? /s
I heard more believable garbage from Soviet propagandists than Whiskey Pete's commentary here.
Came for the name. Staying for the politics.

Now it's said, I can totally see it.
Super Mario Bros is a great film.
Just a terrible game adaptation.
Unabashedly love the 93 film. The fungus. Toad & his harmonica. Iggy & Spike turning on Koopa when he evolves their intellect. Hot Luigi. Everyone doing the dinosaur. Hopper & Shaw chewing the scenery to pieces. Yoshi. Daisy is a paleontologist. The Brooklyn ladies escaping the castle. Bertha!

The video is quite beautiful.
And now I'll forever think of the Founders from #StarTrekDS9 as slime moulds.
And maybe The Thing.

I have spent the morning wiki-hopping, & reached slime moulds. If I understand correctly, they gather in the thousands, have an almighty battle royale with chemical weapons to decide who can reproduce, then form a superstructure with the losers dying off to raise the winners up to the light. Epic.
The most stunning organism. Hard to believe it is a single-cell! It's literally from another realm, but it looks like it's from another dimension
"We cannot give food to someone who is hungry, soap to someone who has none or gifts to someone to bring cheer on a holiday. Even handing someone a Q-tip to clean their ears is a violation."
"We all know that people in prison are not permitted to act like people. Every day we are ordered not to be too friendly or converse too much. We are ordered to not smile and laugh with staff because “undue familiarity” is grounds for disciplinary action," writes Derek.
"If not accompanied by systematic change, using the term “incarcerated people” is nothing more than window dressing."
A guy on my walk told me there was more interesting wildlife to photograph than squirrels 😠
