XKCD meaning of auroras cartoon, showing "normal" at poles, "cool and exciting" in temperate zone, "someone should go check on our satellites" in subtropics, and "A bunch of open questions in Solar-Terrestrial physics are about to be answered" at the tropics

Maxwell wanted a pardon.

Trump declined.

Maxwell released the birthday card to the WSJ as a shot across the bow.

Trump sent his lawyer to negotiate. She told the lawyer about the dirt she had.

She was moved to Club Fed, given a puppy and told to stand by for the pardon.

Relating to Spider-Man at 19: I too am underemployed, unsure how to pursue girls, and trying to find my place in the adult world.

This is an entirely uncontroversial view in international law and usually taught in 101.

Ce matin, je vous parle d'IA générative et des personnes étrangères

2 prémisses
1. L'IA générative a un énorme avantage : elle comprend toutes les langues, répond ds ttes les langues et passe d'une langue à une autre en 1 seconde

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
