that looks terrible

When people have accounts that are almost entirely about posting videos/pics in a theme

AND THEY DO NOT DO ALT TEXT

maybe don't follow them, or boost them.

other things to test: aerodynamics, electrical conductivity

spray paint some skittles brown and see if they're any better

I thought that too but then realized both have hard candy shells!

A four panel comic: Panel 1: A wizard looking at a frog with a human hand in his back saying "We shall see what the anti-grafting peasants think of this!" Panel 2: The frog says "Aren't you the wizard that cooled his orb in a moonwell?" Panel 3: The wizard, rubbing his eyes in frustration, makes the frog vanish Panel 4: The wizard in a chair, poking an orb with the text "BARRICADED" over and over again.

Here's my original character Waffles the Wizard.

He was hired by the king to maintain the ley lines that used to work great.

I fully believe Hegseth has it in him to lose an entire ship, up to and including an aircraft carrier, and more importantly I think there's no one in the White House who would argue against risking it

and they scrapped a 97% complete Batgirl movie???

fetuses that, through a hypothetical test in utero, have been determined will one day become a trans person

wireback? sure. it only makes any sense because it references an actual racist slur. it has problems. but clanker? grow the fuck up

The child was returned to the United States, and the parents now face federal kidnapping charges.

Officer I have a different way of calculating blood alcohol percentage

asib (assigned steamID at birth)

if you could detect transness in the womb couldn't you simply assign the baby the correct gender once it's born

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.

This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.

But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

gutter racist?

FAUN NPC: I’m taking a census. Are you BARD?
BARD: That’s me!
FAUN: Can I have your pronouns?
BARD: They/Them
FAUN: THEY’RE MINE NOW *vanishes*

GM: You all slowly realize that you cannot think of BARD as anything but BARD’S proper name.
BARD: BARD does not appreciate this!
ASSASSIN: Let’s kill him

I linked it in an IRC chat, 300 people clicked it at the same time, and it was not set up to handle that much traffic.

Same principle as designing one small bathroom for a large stadium: it's impossible to distinguish a DDOS from "I failed to expect traffic"

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is out with a new (very bad) decision, and it's a doozy.

The Fifth Circuit says that Texas can require the Ten Commandments in classrooms. But somehow it gets worse.

The key phrase—“an establishment of religion”—was readily understandable to founding-era citizens. See District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 576–77 (2008) (relying on a phrase’s “[n]ormal meaning . . . known to ordinary citizens in the founding generation”). The reason is simple. At the time, establishments were “a familiar institution.” McConnell, Establishment, supra note 12, at 2107.13 Someone on the streets of 1789 Boston, reading that phrase, would have instantly thought of the Church of England, the colonial established churches, or the current state establishments—in other words, a polity’s official church or religion. Ibid.

Although the colonial establishments became more tolerant of dissenters as independence approached, their essence remained unchanged. The original state constitutions reflect as much. Far from rejecting establishments, many states preserved the core components of their establishments, such as public financial support for the official church, regulation of religious institutions, and religious qualifications for civic participation.36 Most explicit was South Carolina, whose 1778 Constitution declared that “the Christian Protestant religion” was “the established religion,” requiring religious societies to subscribe to enumerated articles of faith to receive legal recognition. S.C. Const. of 1778, art. XXXVIII, reprinted in Poore, State Constitutions, supra note 36, at 1626.

The Fifth Circuit flatly states that when the First Amendment says Congress may not create an "establishment of religion," it means the Church of England. They then argue the Founders intended states to have their own churches unaffected by the First Amendment (!!!).

what up, joob

meanwhile that’s also like two sticks of ram. almost overnight corporate genAI has made owning computer hardware a thing for the very wealthy.

ah but have you considered: he doesn't know how to do that without hitting himself

question:

a family I know paid rent for their immigrant neighbor as he was out of work for during the ICE surge.

he still needs help. he is a contractor. the family needs an urgent bathroom repair and can't afford his rent this month. BUT he has the skills to do it.

could we crowdfund this?

he was partially in the public domain for a long time. it wasn't until 2023 that ALL of Doyle's Holmes stories became public. any elements of the character introduced in the later stories were still under copyright until then.

"Your job is so fun," yes, but did you know I have to single handedly fight no fewer than sixth algorithms every day for the privilege of telling people to not set their beds on fire.

Glup Shitto as a character is bisexual-coded, so you might want to tone down the loathing.
