Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

my new favorite image

I need an AI assistant to automatically close all the 'try our AI assistant' pop-ups and sidebars

Control has such a great story and drip feeds it through gameplay in a way that lets you absorb it without having to do any of the reading, but it's still managed to get its hooks into me. Was going to be a casual play through, but I'm watching and reading all the Collectibles, again.

This song, a leftist critique of liberals still largely applicable, pre-dates Limbaugh being on the air by about 7 years

tfw there are no bottoms at the orgy

Veronica got singing lessons...or a stand in. She's selling it by season 4, a 17 year old would totally perform a number from a 70s musical, before the press conference she called... in a speakeasy she owns and runs

"they would've drunk the moutain dew" is now shorthand for being a craven opportunist

RFKs nonsensical chemo phobic policies are quite clearly going to create the kind of problems he thinks he's solving wrt nutrition and health, plus a whole bunch of other issues - intended but mostly unintended. It's all just very, very dumb and evil.

I want this sofa, and a house suitable for it... and also the money required to buy them both

If I may be a contrarian here I'd argue that the victory of a democratic socialist is not "like a spiritual Kristallnacht."

Just imagine how much money could've been saved if the ~300million USD had been taxable and the 300+ cops didn't have to be deployed. Prohibition makes no sense economically. It's about ensuring the state has easily deployable power, ostensibly backed by the community, to demonise minorities

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

"Hello, my friends and I were bitching about you and I thought I'd tell you about it with some unsolicited internal monologue"

Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics. Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

honestly this is a masterwork of a statement. like the *degree* to which it throws Cuomo under the bus by implying that they were all just paying protection money because YOU KNOW HOW THAT GUY IS RIGHT? DON'T WE ALL HATE HIM OVER HERE ON THE WINNING SIDE I WAS TOTALLY ALWAYS ON?

This INFURIATES me, and this is what us survivor advocates have been saying for years. Keeping local police and ICE separate is a domestic violence issue. Victims won’t call the police if they fear deportation, which emboldens their abusers and escalates risk. This isn’t public safety.

Browsing Reddit's terrible baby names sub (is it 5 o'clock yet?) and there is a baby shower invite for a Chernobyl Hope.... which I have to assume is fake. For the love of god, pls be fake.

My Ita Buttrose story is I met her and "worked" for her for about 30 minutes when she was the keynote speaker at our NGO's lil' AGM. She was rude, clearly thought we were all gutter trash (a peer led NGO, ew) and couldn't hide her disdain for the whole thing.

ok i had to

And here it, the funnest election night clip I’ve ever seen: @errollouis.bsky.social asking the reporter at the Cuomo party if the revelers look like they’ve been working. Her answer SENT ME!!! 😅😂

The NSW digital license has a "hologram" on it, because "printing" a hologram to a screen is just as difficult as printing one on, yknow, plastic. [Also, do not use anything that may result in you handing your unlocked phone over to a cop? JFC]

louder for the people in the back

And the Being Normal olympics begin.

Brad Lander has arrived at his election night party. "The ranked choice tabulations will take a few days, but this much is clear: We are sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs," Lander said to applause. "With our help, Zohran Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee"

Sir Goony Golf

Just in! Antoinette Lattouf wins case against ABC! ABC ordered to pay $70,000 in compensation Separate hearing will be held to determine amount of pecuniary penalty ABC may have to pay

fuck and yes, Zionist motherfuckers on the ABC board (& mgmt) can eat a dick

This photo is giving The American Dream energy

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all. Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

this is my local ice cream guy! he’s great! everyone loves him! fuck these fucking assholes! free enrique
