I know a few solidly liberal democrats who voted for this fascist DA in Los Angeles because "safety"

Petty fascist DA Hochman is charging an LAPD officer with 16 felonies for blowing the whistle on virulent racism in the department. He’s sending a message about what sort of department he wants to see. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Never trust a man who accidentally blows himself up in his workshop with a coffee can of explosives to summon a goddess in Pasadena.

1946 was also the year in which L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Parsons attempted to summon the Antichrist through Crowleyan sex magick Maybe they accidentally did the wrong magick and now everyone born in 1946 is the Antichrist

this sounds and looks insane but i actually really really like "just stab it" as a killswitch

By the first sunset, we will have Chester Cheetah, Charles Cheese, and the so-called Colonel in chains. Their public execution will dissuade several of the others from challenging the new order. Terrorist resistance will be expected from the Noid and Kool-Aid Man, but it will be short-lived.

one of the things from Neuromancer that seemed especially ludicrous but now seems increasingly likely: Chinese black market AI-powered hacking software will have graphics that look like a cool shark.

I think there's a secret reason people are latching on to our compact king, Jimothy. All the usual cute meme animal reasons are there; small, soft, unique, etc. But, I also think it's because we know Jimothy is doomed.

Taylor Farms also owns and runs Earthbound Organics, which is available in nearly every grocery store across the US

This framing is so disgusting and irresponsible. Yes, Taylor Farms supplies Taco Bell. THEY ALSO SUPPLY TONS OF OTHER RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES. People will take "avoid Taco Bell" as the lesson which is NOT HELPFUL. www.wcvb.com/article/cycl...

Hyperfocus of the week I guess! I sat and figured out a skeleton. I opted to give it more endoskeleton vs exoskeleton, since a goat sized creature likely would struggle without the support (?) It also doesn't have actual eye sockets because bug eyes sit on the flesh/carapace. #sciart #creatures

Someone was asking which animal to mix with a cicada for the most annoying loud sounds. I suggested a goat...then of course I drew it. Mammals and insects don't mix well 😅💀 #creatureart #creaturedesign #conceptart #goat #cicada #weirdart

Woman's nausea turned out to be huge 'Ozempic stomach mass' - Diet Coke CURED it

FOR countless fat jab users, stomach pain, waves of nausea and having a reduced appetite have become part and parcel of the weight-loss journey. Research shows that around a third of patients who t…

Since they've all badly misread Snowcrash, why haven't any of our deranged oligarchs tried to create a pirate utopia on a repurposed cargo ship? Yacht smacht. Spend that 100 mil on a boat the size of a suburb and build yourself a damn castle on it.

*This interesting process of "un-wonderment" doesn't get enough attention from science fiction critics *"The sense of wonder has a short shelf-life," yes it does, but what are the actual processes of that decay *How to effectively write about that

What if Trump uses the giant cloud of smoke to disappear?

A gentle reminder that "Mount Rushmore" was carved by a KKK-associated white supremacist as a deliberate defacement of a sacred Lakota site, much as the same chud defaced Stone Mountain in Georgia to create a tribute to the Confederacy and white supremacy www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020... 1/x

Sculptor Gutzon Borglum was deeply involved with the Ku Klux Klan while designing the Confederate memorial at Stone Mountain outside Atlanta

Fox at Mount Rushmore: They just said there is severe weather on the way. In fact, they said hail could be coming and they are urging everybody to get inside. We're going to get to shelter.

The neighborhood coyotes started screaming and I thought it was the World Cup. Maybe it is.

If you have complaints about how long it takes LA to count mail ballots, please eat my shit and hair.

Unbreaking@unbreaking.org · 2mo ago

On May 28, a judge refused to block Trump’s executive order directing the USPS to impede mail ballots for any voters who don’t match a (super shoddy!) federal citizenship list. Democrats appealed, but the Postal Service enacted the order anyway. www.cnn.com/2026/06/10/p...

Packaging LLMs as first-person chatbots was entirely a product decision. There is no need, and no innocent reason, to make a fake persona the interface for a hyper-dimensional language crystal. Whatever utility they do have is deliberately obscured by pretending they're an entity.

Ana Marie Cox@anamariecox.com · 2mo ago

AI has been foisted upon us, for sure, but one reason it lands with so many is that LLMs *feel like* a solution for loneliness/estrangement/isolation: People who crave feedback and iteration but lack the courage or social capital to get it. Showing a first draft to someone is exposure. /1
