This is just rank Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, based on the bigoted idea that there is something inherently scary about a president with the last name "El-Sayed." It is incumbent on all of us to call it out.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

I get through >80% of my workdays without touching AI, and tbf the only reason I *have* to on the others is either because I had to Google something and use its shitty mandatory AI (I try to avoid it at all costs, but it happens), or because I had to use our shitty work AI for a test thing.

They spent an entire election's worth of money on a single primary in Michigan and *still* lost to the demsoc candidate, EVEN AFTER THROWING A SPOILER IN. If that's not big I don't know what is.

This has been studied quite a bit, the solar panels create a sort of greenhouse effect for the plants underneath them while also generating energy which feels like it should be cheating but is real and literally only has upsides.

Garrett Herrin@garrettherrin.bsky.social · yesterdayUniversity of Michigan voters have a 100% El-Sayed precinct right now.
this is gonna make me cry laughing. 137 year old company still treats Americans like idiots the good old fashioned way
Maxime@monogon.bsky.social · yesterdayThey still do, at least Nintendo of America does. If you watch a UK Nintendo Direct you'll see that they just say "game" instead of "the [game] game" like in the US. Which means that they make the narrator record two versions of the same line every time he mentions the name of a Nintendo game.
This is the tragic yet logical result of a decades-long project—undertaken by rightwing politicians and “business-minded” administrators alike—to distort the meaning of higher education, to deny the intrinsic value of the pursuit of knowledge, to deprive us all of richer, more purposeful lives.

*cough exhale cough* so yeah, every now and then the vibes just go crazy. everybody starts fighting about fuck-all. it's bedlam. *big inhale* and *inhale* and then, the devs will just chime in and remind everyone they cant stand us. like, HATE, dog. *cough cough cough* sounds awful nah, it rules
headlines like this are so fucking funny like, yes. yes this is exactly what your tax dollars are supposed to go toward, helping your fellow people. i would much rather my taxes pay for food for someone i'll never meet than I would have them pay for bombing someone else I could've met some day.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."
you ever have that feeling like there's something your soul desperately needs and it's killing you to live without but you don't really know how to express it so you suppress it instead which just turns your entire existence into some sort of mushy pseudo-reality? ...just me?

Anime and manga would basically not exist if this kind of policy had been standard. I tried to make a list of notable titles but basically everything was made by someone who drew nsfw on the side, wrote nsfw on the side, published nsfw on the side, or was mentored by someone who did.
Suzanne ✨🌑@tendermiasma.com · 4d agoThe TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us
