So, the latest entry in "AI Suuuuuuccccckkkkkkssss!" I was trying to find the issue where Thor met Hyperion in the 1980s. (Actually, it was the 1970s, my bad.) Now, in *theory*, AI would be good at figuring that out and say "They first met in 1978". But, AI suuc.... see above.
![If you are thinking of a classic 1980s comic book meeting between Thor and Hyperion, that specific crossover did not happen then. Hyperion debuted in 1969 as part of the Squadron Sinister, but main-continuity Thor and Hyperion did not cross paths or form their famous bond until Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers run in 2013.

Gabriel Malor@gabrielmalor.bsky.social · 2h ago1st Cir.: Puerto Rico's law criminalizing "false alarms" during declared emergencies violates the First Amendment bc it is a content-based regulation not narrowly tailored to achieve gov't's compelling interest in protecting public safety during an emergency. www.ca1.uscourts.gov/sites/ca1/fi...
![Finally, the Government "has not shown, and cannot show, why counter[ ]speech would not suffice to achieve its interest." Alvarez, 567 U.S. at 726. The Government asserts -- without record support -- that counter speech would be ineffective because "[o]nce the false information is released, the damage is done." This does not explain why counter speech would be inadequate to achieve its interest. Consider again the COVID-19 pandemic. Statements arguing that masks are ineffective to stop disease transmission could be countered by government messaging explaining the benefits of wearing masks. Perhaps there are false statements that immediately cause harm such that counter speech would be ineffective, but this law is not limited to that category. In short, Article 5.14(a) does not meet the exacting standard of strict scrutiny.12 It represents an impermissible restriction of speech, particularly during times of emergency when it is most imperative that the public be well-informed and the government held to account. "[S]ince informed public opinion is the most potent of all restraints upon misgovernment," we look](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreichtmwadmjqu7pohfbhnbyxksf3nzadm47yt65acvkkzvzmtgmygu)

I mean. Timothy Dalton played both James Bond and a Time Lord. That should have been the big giveaway. Also Roger Moore played a high manager of the Spice Girls in Spice World, their bus was bigger on the inside than the outside, therefore he gave them a TARDIS. So much evidence this is real
British. Has access to advanced technology. Often fights madmen with ambitions of global domination. Almost always has an attractive female companion. Changes appearance, but remains essentially the same person. James Bond is a Time Lord. It cannot be denied.

One of the most realistic scenes in the Jurassic Park novel is where they're testing the "count the dinos" software and passing a parameter which is "this is how many we expect". If you said "count_raptors 46" it would return "46". It "worked" if there were LESS than 46, as it would alert you.

This, so much! There is no way to remove a sitting Senator who is alive, in *any* condition. And there's no benefit to the GOP in claiming McConnell is alive if he isn't. Your conspiracy theories are stupid, and you should feel stupid.
