Originator Zero No. 74

I had an MRI. It analyzed my back very well, then I had an important surgery 2 months later. Your doctor orders an MRI because other tests showed a problem and the MRI produces absolute clarity. Listening to him talk about health is like a fever dream in that it very uncomfortably makes no sense.

I think it goes back even further that. Operation Paperclip embedded Nazis into US government agencies shortly after WWII. Hitler was also quoted as being fond of the US's approach to Native Americans. Common ground in ethnic policy probably fated these two political bodies to be warm to each other.

Happy birthday!

Only vaguely and that's on purpose. Bluesky has a nice userbase, but the internet at large has many people that gleefully weaponize personal information against anyone if it meant cruel and simple fun.

The DuckDuckGo search engine results for long tailed macaque. The primates have long faces with fluffy fur that flares out from the sides of the head and front of the chest. Fur ranges from white to light brown and grey, while faces can be pale to dark. The center right macaque has a pointy tuft of fur on the center of its head. The ears are positioned higher on their heads than humans' ears. The eyes are proportionally larger and further up from center than humans' eyes, and the forehead to full face ratio is smaller than that of humans. For context, Grok was insistent in the original post's screenshots about how a human behind the trees with dark hair and dark skin in the fourth picture was this species of macaque.

JFC Grok. It's not even close.

Definitely felt this and Amnesiac were their strongest album. If you ever get the chance to see them, do it. They sound sharp live and have an enthralling light show.

WW's style looks amazing on glass! It's so vibrant. Thanks for sharing this

One shirt, one haircut, one reich?

Wishing you a full recovery. You're a positive and uplifting light. Keep shining your brightest.

If you have a windows computer, archive.org has the one that shipped with windows xp (first result for "microsoft solitaire") and it has no ads and no cost. I'm able to run it on a 64-bit version of windows 7. I don't know of a freeware/shareware ad-free one for the phone though

I love the choice words "this is not a Signal chat." 😂

Impressive. Andrew is no longer a prince. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

A screenshot of the termination notice of one worker for O'Brien and Associates was posted to X, headered with the company's contact information. 1-800-225-9947 FAX: 608-526-2098 E-mail: info@obrien-and-associates.com Website: obrien-and-associates.com Titled "Termination Notice," dated October 28, 2025, with a redacted employee name, the letter reads: I am writing to inform you your employment with O'Brien and Associates is being terminated as of Tuesday, October 28, 2025, due to the following: On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, you were scheduled to work from 8am to 3:30pm as a door guard. WHile on shift there was an incident that took place in the parking lot. You took it upon yourself to leave your designated post without approval and go into the parking lot. When asked by your Site Manager Michael what you were doing, you stated you were "watching for ICE." You were instructed to go back to your position at the door. A moment later, as ICE is doing their job, you proceed to argue with an ICE employee and are recording the situation as well. The argument turned to the point where you were almost pepper sprayed by them. You once again, after being told to stay at your position, leave your position and walk once again into the parking lot. Again, you were told not to leave your position by the Site Manager Michael. You become extremely uncooperative and state, "Says who." Site Manager Michael then informs you to go home due to your insubordination and failure to follow directives and violate policies. Once instructed to go home, you threatened Site Manager by saying "make me" to him in response to you being sent home.

If this termination notice circulating is legit, then yes, for "leaving his post" and "insubordination." What kind of security company tells its employees to stay out of matters that actually concern security?

People should be flagging those as misleading... not only do the AI videos showing people "playing in the streets" "downplay" the severity of the storm, it also misrepresents how the affected are actually treating the storm, and gives air to the crowd who says these storms are fake altogether.

Live?

The one to the right has writing true to lighting and grease stains consistent with handling of the pierogis, while the left's big tell for me is the cardboard is suspiciously spotless yet off-color in the same way the stain is, and the writing much blacker. The pho looks completely organic.

My big curiosity is if he will propose to her with the chair he took from Parliament in lieu of a ring.

Ever feel entrapped by anxiety, in a way it drives you to the information that exacerbates the issue or you need to replace one consuming thought with another? Me definitely. It helps to pick "more like this" when I see cute rodents in my feed - they always cheer me up.

There's a marshmallow staring at me 👀

We should call it "Powered by Admiral" (whether it technically is or isn't)

Love from Ontario 🇨🇦

Makes me nostalgic for my birth state because I used to go to a particular lighthouse to unwind, and where I would take friends visiting from afar, show them the history on the plaques and look for cool sea rocks as the sun set. The color and lighting add to that warm, comfortable feeling of "home."

Allegedly there's also quarters planned for 650 Secret Service agents in planning but with a size like that I'm thinking he wants a presidential datacenter to produce in-house AI poop memes

The flight feathers have a slight iridescence... it's very pretty. But also, I'm impressed you could keep a moving bird in focus to get that clear of detail on the body. It certainly isn't easy.

And the worst is being accused of being aggressive and arguing when clarifying a misunderstanding. So when I leave things short, I often wonder anxiously if it's going to come across right, if I chose words carefully enough. Participation is rough sometimes.

Seconding this. The bean special is amazing.

This happened recently to someone else I follow but on a different subject, who was the total opposite of the list he got put on. I don't know if it's trolls or people building lists with string search scripts, but it's why I almost never trust others to curate "block lists" for me. I trust my eyes.

Wartime propaganda did a number here: only the worst is filtered through because the full picture would make you question fighting them. Muslims in my life have not been abusive toward me for being queer, atheist or female. We recognize good qualities in one another that are more important.
