Overheard at the zoo:
Find a place to put the chaos inside.

Said by a mother to her somewhat hyperactive child.

“Truth without compassion is just cruelty.” -Thundercat

Words to live by.

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

A digital illustration of Godzilla silhouetted against a red and orange fire-colored background with his back spines all glowing blue as he blasts nuclear fire at whomever you would most like to have nuclear fire blasted at. Go ahead and make a wish. Jagged lettering on Godzilla’s back and shoulder, also glowing blue, reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’

Missouri town fires half its city council over data center deal Residents of a St. Louis suburb turned out in droves to unseat four incumbents just days after the council approved a development agreement for a $6 billion data center.

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

When a person loses 1 sense the others are heightened. That's why people who have no sense of humor have an amazing sense of self-importance.

That song still fucks me up when it comes on the radio. And I rarely will touch strangers, just in case.

Reminder to next dem government: take all of SpaceX’s federal contracts and give the money back to NASA.

I find there’s a vast difference between 2 windows on 1 screen and 2 screens with 1 window each. It makes no sense, but still has that effect.

This would probably be a more effective argument if Trump hadn't advocated and rolled out a policy by which people could become citizens FOR PAY.

An excellent story and gave me a new appreciation for one of our hometown heroes. I somehow never knew about this chapter in his life.

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

The airport perks for Congress may be drying up, not a minute too soon Delta Airlines suspends its special congressional service, while a Senate bill could end the line-skipping perk for members of Congress.

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com.

Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers.

When calculators steal numbers from other people, make up answers, and use up a gallon of water plus burn enough electricity to power a small house for several hours with every calculation, then you can make the comparison to GenAI. Until then, please don't make this intensely stupid argument.

Just a year ago, we heard reducing the deficit was so important Elon Musk had to fire as many scientists, forest rangers and Black women on the government’s payroll that he could find.

Now? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Hope springs eternal

Does this mean @justinhicks.lpm.org is officially on the sports beat now?

“Inside the administration, some officials are growing pessimistic about the lack of a clear strategy to finish the war. But they have been careful not to express that directly to the president, who has repeatedly declared that the military operation is a complete success.”

Profiles in courage.

Just got a chance to enjoy this episode. It was delightful, inspiring, and insightful. i think I enjoyed the outro just as much as the story itself. Keep making cool stuff, y’all. You’re always winners in my book!

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

To be fair, it looks like a really good onion ring.
