This used to keep me up at night. What's better? People being able to flip a switch practically overnight into a stranger, or being lied to for years and years? Grim either way.

The communal additions built up onto a single innocuous thing is such a Dragoncon move 🏆
A Thunderdome vision of future conventions would be if they had an Artist Alley and an AI Alley, but when you buy your pass you have to choose to be able to enter and support only one of them.
I'd be curious to see what would happen if there was a transparent AI section of an artist's alley. Mind, it's not because I want them there, but because I want to see what the crowds would do and whether AI prompt writers who sell prints would actually stand by what they do without false pretense.
I still can't fully comprehend that we've seen footage of him with his hands in his pants on a bed, released to movie theater screens, and collectively we went "whelp, there he goes."
"these animators had TIME" and via their website, they seem committed to taking that time. At the very least the conditions don't seem Mappa tier.
Whether it's refreshing rest, a refreshing beverage, or refreshing the app, we're here
Bluesky being a 30/30/40 mix of Prezdeath journalism, Prezdeath shitposting, and increasingly salacious pinups of Watto from Phantom Menace is a very cursed Russian roulette of a feed. 10/10, will keep playing
Pretty sure it was a very dry joke at Bill Maher's expense that Maron improv'd with, because Bill definitely dated Coulter in the early 2000's
Wait, what do you MEAN posting isn't activism? I've got to, like, talk to people in my community and stuff?? Gross
Oh. Well then.

What's crazy is I've been following you so long I remember the original. I loved that comic. Always have been so happy to see your work out in the world.

In appropo of nothing, this morning was beautiful out, full of dozens of excellent dogs on their walks, my garden is blooming, jalapeños are tasty, and the Gachiakuta adaptation is already fricking stellar.
Just seeing the poster made me upset, but the article and trailer really locked that in. Possible successor to the husky from The Thing

I don't know whether it's better or worse that she didn't drink it, but gave it to her toddler regardless. I'm not sure how the dairy is responsible for her loss when it's due to cleaning up after the E. Coli child.
AI lines up with the changes game/app UI design makes to designs to accommodate iPad brain; immediate, flashy feedback for everything. This isn't just for folks growing up now, but it feels like the idea of years of invisible work not fit for the hungry content feed may seem foreign.
He hasn't seemed to have concrete plans, but one of the very first executive orders on day one was mandating an elevation of traditional, classic looks. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

100%, going in serious or as a pitch black comedy, it's something special
Speaking of, this book is really dorky and cute and interesting and you might like

Tore through assembling a LEGO kit to stave off the temptation to get back into gunpla, but I'm concerned that it's not working.
Shout out to these two oregano plants that got completely mummified by the relentless heat and lost all their leaves, but when I didn't give up on them they decided to shake it off and sprout new ones to start over.
Y'all really undersold how pleasant and satisfying having a garden is, because WHAT DO YOU MEEEEAN there's only 19 days between these pictures?? Look at my babies.
This is weapons-grade "Bless Your Heart"

I thought I was being alarmist by thrifting published hard copies of these documents after the election but apparently...
I personally find this very inclusive, as it illustrates their size range clearly includes kaiju representation
Meet Elizabeth Parke Custis Law, the granddaughter of George Washington and a woman so awful as to go down in history only as a footnote in the story of the slave, Ona Judge, who suffered greatly in the necessary journey of getting the fuck away from her. encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/cust...
I cherish historical accounts that attempt to academically, tactfully outline that a person was an absolute pain in the ass. Bonus points if the painstakingly crafted portraits of their likeness illustrate the point. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_...
It's always so interesting to see how folks react when they notice someone drawing in public and assume you're drawing them. Some get really uncomfortable and dash away, while others pose... Meanwhile my sketchbook is just a rickety warmup scrawl of the trash can.
Even just as a composition, the cut off foot would be a no-go for any design lead I've had.

I love seeing great Žižek impressions, in part because when I tried advancing my own it veered in and out of Carol Channing
Hey hey hey, decluttering is cool but you don't have to go down that road with it 🖤
Yeah, those teeth were... Not wood 😬
The fact I may well lose a game I love in the final stage solely because of a bad UI bug feels like a very personal attack.
Yeah, the funny thing about that is the good faith expectations for reciprocity never pan out. "If I give up something as an offering, they will, too"? Nope, no, one way ticket to a nightmare.
Oh yeah *pats side of bus* you can throw so many comrades under this bad boy.
I've wondered if the resurgence of the r-word among otherwise progressive streamers/commentators is to try telegraphing they're too edgy to be considered woke snowflakes. Basically, toss members of our coalition under the bus in the name of outreach to folks that respond to that.
I have a garden for the first time! The basil is thriving such that I keep needing to repot more babies. There were tiny seedlings I didn't give up on that will get their own pot soon, and the morning glories are curling their first tentative vines.
Will it get violently jealous when it spies on you using other apps?
"I'm exactly like the guy who deserves to become a god deciding who lives or dies because he's the bestest smartest boy who uses women as disposable tools, but I'm actually better because I will simply just not go into the warehouse."
A manga I read in high school is now a load bearing pillar of the disturbed psychology and worldview of a billionaire defense contractor amid a tumultuous political landscape.
Good lord, I forgot about Christie's bridge of fatal spite.

It's been that way ever since The Noodle Incident.
Jesus, that's the second studio I've heard of closing its doors two months after hiring new folks.
Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.
I haven't been a fan of the criticism of her body and face in all this. However, I do find it fascinating when some rich people can just buy an idea of beauty without much/any of the insight that goes into appreciating the WHY of its beauty.
See, now, I would never have done that if you hadn't been just so ding dang mean* to me :C *recounted to me a thing I did or said that looks bad
Tough comparison, because (admittedly rough internet search says) Sanchez is 5'3" and the original model, Hejia Li, is about 5'10. It's weird Lauren's THAT rich and didn't get a custom one, so maybe she just pointed at the runway and said "but I want it" no matter what experts said.
I literally said "please be a thread, please be a thread" out loud seeing your initial post, and celebrated after I clicked it. Great stuff, would also love to read the whole thing sometime!
Jesus christ, I'm sorry and in the market for an alibi.
I love it so much, I found the autobiography of the guy that wrote/directed it, to figure out what background and brain made such a special movie. A shocking amount of his jokes have aged well because of his ethos, and I respect the hell out of that.
I was skeptical as hell of the Broetry, but after looking it up- by God you're onto something
Movie you've watched more than 6x using a gif (no Disney, Star Wars, LOTR or Star Trek)
It is pretty telling how many manosphere boys seem to prefer women in the same age range as their humor.
There are plenty of polls with rigorous sample sizes and good faith standards, but they sure as hell aren't Polymarket. Which is a fantasy betting site. That he works for.
In conversations with Research and Data folks, I've been able to use Nate Silver's name as a more polite, work-friendly verb than "spectacularly fucked up with bad info and terrible judgement"
George Santos calling Mamdani "this vile anti American creature" was well past being out of line. What the hell.
"I left Mamdani off my ballot he just seemed a little radical for me and my family [of bipedal organisms with caloric intake howdy doo fellow Libs gosh I sure do love blinking]"
These old Massachusetts buildings are not ready for this.
An icon, a legend
What in the middle school horse girl bully is a-going on here?
I first saw Wu at some kind of libleft Women In Tech In Massachusetts kind of event, alongside a pre-elected Ayanna Pressley... Good lord, I do not recognize her now, but the stuff I've learned of her animation/game background makes more sense. Yeesh.
I'd have thought the gameplay of the first one would have prepared fans for this feeling
yes i am sure
I'd have given him credit for the dark tone shift of the last 1/3 of Much Ado making more sense after seeing every character drunk out of their mind the whole time... But the Tennant/Tate stage version did that the year before. SUSPICIOUS, Joss, real sneaky.
A protracted, descending "oh" would not be amiss
Thanks! It's not for another two weeks, but the perfect edition boxed set was on sale, so I bent time to make it seem like a good idea.
From the outside looking in, this feels comically Canadian.
Wow. What a messed up day. How lovely to have a quiet night in listening to a seasoned player build in Satisfactory while I relax with the comic I got for my birthday. The comic:
Your honor, have you considered that they were just a smol bean?
Organizers in LA are raising money to do tamale buyouts from local tamale vendors who are unable to safely vend on the street due to ICE kidnapping vendors. The tamales will be distributed to unhoused neighbors. Please consider donating — I personally vouch for this one: venmo.com?txn=pay&audi...
My learning about this from the Goonernomicon guy is fitting for 2025
The same physical exam results in which folks were told DJT is 6'3", 215-225 lbs? It's significantly easier to be "more accessible" to the media when you can just say whatever, I suppose.
Update: I learned via the conference room and it was very funny.
More ludicrous scare graphs. One thing is so much bigger! The line went up so much it's pink!! Oh no!

Found an old folder of Bad Graphs! From my data-loving heart to yours 1) check your axes and labels 2) check your range and scale 3) check for gaps Don't let liars scare you! Stay safe out there.
I am really hoping there's other Gundam fans in this thread that have caught the one-off series "86" because holy hell does it have so much of what I love about Gundam
Had the privilege of dogsitting this wobbly angel, who started off skeptical before turning into a gold star champion cuddler. #dogsofbluesky #pibble
Old enough to remember when conservatives opposed Obamacare under fears of death panels deciding this very thing, but here we are I guess
It's got to absolutely suck to be a dev on a team like Splitgate's, seeing a player base alienated from -THEIR- hard work because one of their bosses chose to be selfish and messy.
By all means, let's have elections on the device equipped to make U2 albums mandatory for all citizens.
