Acceptance of the security state began with the Astroturf of the elf on the shelf bullshit. You see that sick little fuck you send him straight to hell

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson calls Sunday's naked bike ride in protest of the Portland ICE facility and and Trump troop deployment "the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet"

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.

And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops. I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

it's the 'now you have to pay bills' at the end that always gives it away; the real nostalgia is for living with your parents and having an allowance.

Did autocorrect eat your question mark?

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

These guys were picturing a computer programmer from India who works 16hr days for $40k a year. They’re not aware of any other type of H1B employee

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

This (and the OpenAI paper) are a must-read. Proof of what many suspected; hallucinations are a consequence of requiring a “certain-seeming” answer and the correct approach is obviously a confidence interval. Unfortunately game studies have a large volume of research how this works psychologically.

every birthday message to epstein is like "dear jeff, you're so rich and so handsome but probably the thing about you i love most is that you're a prolific child predator. never change <3"

"High crimes and misdemeanors" is whatever congress says it is. None of that matters for impeachment.

The same people will talk all about system racism (correctly, imo) and then turn around and suggest the system is somehow going to fix the racism 🤷‍♂️

HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS! example.com/article?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=emai /youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=Aa1Uc_fRHXC0ay85 The portion following the question marks are source identifiers. Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

Clean up your links before you share them with others. It's a small and simple piece of operational security that anyone can integrate into their practice.

gpt-5.0 apparently already going hard on enshittification is the most predictable thing. Ultimately AI will be made more expensive than hiring someone would've been, but not before it has destroyed all alternatives - experienced and capable people.

Fun fact I learned playing against that deck: myriad stacks!

Friend of mine has a myriad commander deck, I think using Duke Ulder Ravengaurd? I wonder if he has this in there

(The deck is mostly based around “ETB abilities are balanced assuming they’ll only go off once, so it’s real gross when they go off twice each time you attack”)

Ooh, this is way higher res than my therm camera (for 3x the price I’d hope so lol)

They’re fun, especially that first day of pointing it at everything in your life lol

That’s near-IR, which is very different from thermal IR seen here! Near IR is much closer to visible light, thermal IR is a much lower wavelength roughly centered on the blackbody peak of everyday temperatures

You still don’t really see through it in this case, what you’re seeing is its heat conducting through to the outer wall, causing more thermal-range blackbody radiation from said wall

Apple Seemingly Working on Sleep Score Feature for Apple Watch Apple may be developing a sleep score feature for the Apple Watch, based on code found in iOS 26 by MacRumors contributor Steve Moser. An image...

The perils of typing quickly on social media because you’re supposed to be working 😅

Also has a great view of the city if you go up the tower!

Have had the half-roasted chicken and potatoes at Chez Ma, can confirm it is incredible and impossibly cheap.

Also, there is a shop not too far away that has baguette kebabs

> which to me is about as weird as assuming "working in hollywood" means you're an actor

I mean, this is also a thing people do. Lots of folks in costuming, camera work, VFX, etc regularly having to explain to their grandparents that they're not an actor

“You would’ve had to waterboard that out of me”

Evidently not

Is this bait for Blender people?
