A "participation award" for the country artists who got their fee-fees hurt. "Here's a trophy, angry white boy." *pats artist's head and hopes this stops the temperature tantrum*

LLMs are antithetical to your mission. They consume prodigious resources to spit out nonsense. You're hurting the nature your entire platform is built to catalogue.

Being aware of them definitely helped me visualize the Shrouded.
Can't wait to read Bee Speaker next!

This got some notice, so...
Maybe don't drive a Tesla to a protest.
But also, a Tesla could record you damaging it, so don't target privately owned cars. Especially since their drivers are very likely to be allies given the demographics of EV drivers.

Also note that ALL Teslas have cameras. Everything but the early Model S cars have at least 8 cameras that can record video. Drivers can save video to a thumb drive (great for accident documentation) but that video is also used by Tesla, so they can be compelled to release it to law enforcement.

Don't they have fans drawing in outside air to keep them inflated? That seems like a bad idea if the tear gas comes out.

He is *not* telling the truth about the BBB. His issue isn't that the bill goes too far, it's that it doesn't go far enough.
Never mind that he has no idea how government should function or what efficiency looks like when $ profit isn't the point of the endeavor.

I love the "no, the stupid thing happening isn't stupid, it's 82 dimensional chess" takes.

Getting involved in visual arts made me a better husband, father, person. I started out with classes, became a volunteer and am now board president for a community arts center. Being creative matters and AI stiffles creativity.

I'm not sure which gods you're patronizing, but mine are old country gods.

Lodestone and chicken entrails or GTFO.

Air can affect flavor as it does with wine, since components will oxidize. But I can't imagine your daily cuppa is going to have a noticeable taste difference.

"If you pick it up"
That is a mighty big "if"! Too many legs! But it is beautiful and I'll admire with my eyes and let others do the handling.

Yes. Increase the number of accounts you follow. Join in on conversations.
The Twitter style of aggressive post/reply doesn't work here thanks to an effective block system, which makes things a lot nicer for actual discussion.

Oh, joy. Now the on-line comments section numbskulls can get their very own op-eds.

Oh, I'm there with you. DC/Warner's superhero track record has been decidedly awful barring a couple Nolan films
Nothing beats Pa Kent's let them die attitude in Man of Steel, though. That was truly bottom of the barrel.

I'm very cautiously optimistic. It should at least be better than anything since the 78 Superman film.

That's sort of the point. Gardner is a not fabulous character.
It does make one wonder how he even qualified to be a Lantern

It's comic accurate for the character.

You're thinking of the song Just the Two of Us. Cowbell player arrived late to the recording session and only got to play on the last half of the song.

I she a collector of fine, high-quality trailers or does she have a use for them?

Uncanny valley. There's probably a sweet spot for robot assistants that would be okay for most people. But I don't know if it's more C-3PO or R2-D2.
