Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

It's hard when our language comes via colonisers.

We suffixed a lot of our stuff with "thing". It hasn't worked out that well to be honest.

The following is text from a screenshot of The Guardian’s live feed: Kate Chaney, the independent MP, has backed Nine Entertainment's calls for any ban on gambling ads to include compensation for media companies and apply across the board. As we reported earlier, Nine's chair, Catherine West, said the company had asked the government for financial support if it restricts ads on wagering. Chaney supported that call today: 41 Gambling ads make up a small part of the total advertising revenue for media companies, as Ms West acknowledges, so finding a workable solution is not as difficult as the government is making out. The crossbencher was a member of the parliamentary committee that recommended restrictions on gambling ads in mid-2023, led by the late Peta Murphy, a Labor MP. Chaney in October proposed a levy of 0.5% on every dollar wagered, following similar proposals by that committee, and from the Australia Institute and the Public Health Association.

GTFO you absolute ghouls.

You *chose* to accept those ads, *chose* to be part of the problem, *chose* to promote ruining people’s
lives. And now you want to be paid to stop?

Fuck ALL the way off

Btw if you’re in the 1% club who can afford a VirusTotal account I highly recommend pulling the ‘AI malware’ samples from that report and detonating them.

They’re all total shite. The first one I tried immediately crashes. This is *3 years* into AI dOoMsDaY.

Mamdani probably would have been expelled from the ALP

Poured Acrylic and mica on canvas depicting an aerial view of an ocean shore, with mixed blues swirled from dark, to teal, to light. White froth flows from the shoreline out into the water. The sand is light beige with darker bronzes mixed in. White mica is in the froth, and gold and brown mica dots the sand.

Screeeeeeeech!

I've been wanting to try this forever, and it turned out SO PRETTY!

It's not done. i have to let it dry before adding some shadows and i was too excited

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

You need more modbus

University upper admin are the least evidence-based actors after politicians and corporate CEOs, lol.

"Part of Qualcomm Product Longevity Program, subject to change without notice." hahahahahahahaha

“I love what you’ve done with the place!”

US Service members should not bear insignia if our historic enemies:

You are. When you write a large number down you put the most significant digits first.

I'm never sure any part of any computer is actually working too

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

ultimately, zohran mamdani is a reminder that politicians can be younger than 80 years old

doubling my entendre

Absolute must idea.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Screenshot of the fibonacci-numbers README, which reads: First install the version of this crate corresponding to the Fibonacci number you want to use: cargo add fibonacci-numbers@186 --rename fib186 Then you can use the VALUE constant to get its value: assert_eq!(fib186::VALUE, 332825110087067562321196029789634457848);

Screenshot of the dependency list, which is fibonacci-numbers at versions 184 and 185.

finally, some Good Code

Obviously, this is loser shit, but I think AI has really cemented itself as the visual language of fascism. It's anti-human, flattened, uninteresting, and cheap. It's like looking at a Potemkin Village and thinking that's the same as architecture.
