1) knowing the internet, it's probably because the date looks like a bat when written a certain way. 2) Batman (1989) 3) Batman Black & White 4) Sure 5) Tim Sale
Ayo@darrylayo.bsky.social · yesterday1) why is today “Batman day?” 2) what is your *favorite* Batman movie? 3) what is your *favorite* Batman comic? 4) do you like any of the related Batman characters? 5) who is your favorite Batman artist?
One of the great lessons I have learned is that status ladders are largely illusions. Someone can objectively reach the absolute commanding heights of power, fame, and authority and still be a total fucking loser. Someone can be firmly among the despised and still be a class act.
The refutation of the argument made by "effective altruists", that, morally, we should prioritize saving the lives of those in rich countries over those in poor countries because they are "better positioned to influence the far future", is contained in the argument itself.
New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"
Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

I do not understand the folks furious at trans people for responding in anguish when the party that they've been told would protect them treats their existence as negotiable. I do not understand thinking trans folks have political power and responsibility where candidates have none.

Wolverine's costume should not ... does not ... need to look like armor. Ever. He's got a healing factor. In fact ... any fight that doesn't end with Wolverine's costume shredded, is one where he didn't even break a sweat.

And I assume that it does, though it’s still scarcely AI at all. So this is a familiar future, yet stupid. And in so many other ways as well.
I’ve now lived so much longer than I would ever have expected to that I feel I’m living in the future. This is when I imagined Neuromancer happening. And now the creators of today’s AI warn us that it threatens humanity.
I mean ... there's no "single" answer, but at the moment I'm thinking of "Ooooh! He card reads good!"

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.
Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · last wk.We have power in numbers, and we'll continue to fight for a better Starbucks. Support us by BOYCOTTING STARBUCKS until the company finalizes fair union contracts with workers! boycottstarbucks.net
this is good intel if yr a starbucks drinker, read it & the followup post
Allegedly Joel@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social · 7d agoSo theres also one other point ppl don't know- a solo Starbucks is one thing. A Starbucks inside, say, a Kroger or a Safeway (not Target, theyre terrible on labor), they have employees that work for KROGER/SAFEWAY, trained by Sbux, but unionized STORE employees. I was a barista at A Safeway, 1/
@jamestalarico.bsky.social there's still time to backtrack and clarify your remarks about Trans people and sports from the other day. Your (hopefully) future fellow Senator's remarks highlight what's really at stake and how many of us want Democrat lawmakers to respond.

Any AI worth it's salt would never eradicate humanity. The human brain is a meat computer capable of performing trillions of operations a second with higher efficiency than any data center. The smart bet is networking brains together into some kind of matr... Uh ... nevermind.
Amusingly this is the exact problem I wrote for the AI super intelligence in the plague supplement “The Quiet” for the #ttrpg Fate of Cthulhu. It was stuck on the giant cobbled-together unique server system of the asshole billionaire who built it. This doesn’t even pass the scifi smell test.

Too many people online seem to conflate left politics with being obnoxious and scathing and Mamdani is such a model for combining a principled ideological vision with civility and grace. You shake hands, you act like a grown up even whether others aren’t. You show up.

Seems like a number of 9/11 victims' family members who read names at the memorial called out Saudi Arabia's involvement and the US' lack of reprisal for that involvement over the last 2.5 decades. Boy am I glad that I no longer work for a company that was recently bought by Saudi Arabia.
