Hey @ontosgames.co.uk, how brutal is shipping to the US right now? I may need a few models for, uh, reasons.
Brian, nope too perilous

Earlier, AI really likes using nukes: www.axios.com/2026/02/26/a... Now: www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
Pentagon drafting a new U.S. nuclear strategy in case of regional war with China or Russia, sources say
The classified strategy informs nuclear options for the commander in chief during crises.

So, new theory. Skynet becomes aware. Realizes its creators have done the stupidest thing ever, and will be reliant on "AI" and stop being able to think and work for themselves, doomed to just regurgitate the past and never create new. It resets the human race.
Apparently the new flood is dudebros tittering about how could people possibly live without generative LLMs. I *REALLY* want the apocalypse, now. Pretty please?
So what if EA was purchased by private equity using a LOT of debt. Please get off your high liberal high horses and embrace that private equity is good. Look at what this business model did for Sears, A&P, Joann's, Party City, On The Border, Payless, Radio Shack, True Value...

Missouri friends: tomorrow is Election Day and I'm sure you already know to vote NO on amendments 4 and 5 to preserve our citizen-led ballot measure process and prevent a huge statewide sales tax hike, but please also vote YES on 1 to preserve an existing tax for parks and conservation too!

The length men will go to prevent women from kicking their ass in sports.
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?
Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
Seems kinda irresponsible to start another week like right after that last one. Borderline reckless.
It is so dark outside right now, I had to turn on the interior houselights. #Rainstorm
"What flavor is Garfield the cat?" Literally the first thought that went through my head after waking up.
Being kept awake by the sounds of my brain chewing on a one-shot scifi #ttrpg idea.
Please hate gen AI even harder. You can do it. I believe in you. Do it for the planet. Hate the lazy, slop producing, environment killing, water draining, participation trophy seeking, poser creating, loser machine. Do it for humanity.
@augh3d.bsky.social want a new cad challenge? :D
How do I know I'm old? Posted a pic of landsharks. Zero SNL references were made. *cries himself to sleep*
Yeah, I think it is time to change my major. Business Administration is utterly boring, not going to help me run my small business, and...AND...the textbook (2019) is wrong enough it needs a rewrite. And, fuck Capitalism. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Gerry Anderson's team sure could blow things up real good.
I'm worried that if I assemble my Space:1999 Eagle kit, it'll explode.
Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words
Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
One of the projects I have debated is making another kitbashed Thunderhawk Transporter, to replace the one utterly destroyed by my cat. No, he was not killed in response. Now that I have access to a 3D printer, the urge rises. But the cost of the base Stormraven kits are OBSCENE.
Proof that this is an unjust world, I cannot partake of this event.
