Drawing of a book with a desk printer on the cover with the title "The printer that simply worked and other fairy tales"

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics.

The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

a proportionate *and necessary* response, without which the current extremely illegitimate Republican Supreme Court will thwart other such responses.

Fun fact: Women's sports are segregated not to protect women, but to protect *men* from losing *to* a woman.

Don't believe me? Look up Jackie Mitchell. Struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Then suddenly women were unfit to play baseball.

GOOD POST

less than a week ago the president told the world the strait of hormuz had been reopened and would never close again in the history of the planet

In honor of #EarthDay, here is a reminder that there is a bot account that posts a photo of the whole Earth from a million miles away, taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory, several times daily. You can view all the images (and zoom in) here: epic.gsfc.nasa.gov

(post from asimovsideburns) Klingon therapist: the battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind... Every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat

It's called a Brother laser printer. For real, just get one, you'll never look back. The B/W version cost me like $120 in 2019 and it still works wonderfully and the test cartridge it came with lasted me 4 years.

my girlfriend asked if she could make a Mii for my island and handed this back to me 30 minutes later.

Drowning meme, showing Bluesky leadership paying attention to AI while the codebase drowns, and why's phone dead at the bottom

A screenshot of clearsky, showing that the bluesky staff member, who goes by Why, has subscribed to only one blocking list, one made by a known troll that searches for users that are against ai and add them to this moderation list. Why @why.bsky.team Blocking 310,708 total users via lists @antiantiai.bsky.social Anti "Anti-AI" Labeler 3 hours ago AI Haters Subscribes to anti-AI blocklists or otherwise seems poorly disposed for productive conversations.

Lmao when a staff member subscribes to a block list made by a troll account and ends up blocking 310,700+ users, all because the majority of the users of bluesky hold the rational opinion that ai is total shit and shouldn't be used for any reason.
Ai is ruining the site, and the world.
Fuck ai.

No.

Y'know what? No.

The entire mess Marvel is in has a lot of elements but a major one is that the Russos tied up the entire Marvel Universe with Endgame. Thematically, emotionally, structurally, the 10+ year buildup came to a climax and conclusion.

Don't pretend like it was a new beginning.

one required, but sadly enormous, shift in the way americans view things: recovering an understanding that a democratic government is a collective enterprise that should deliver tangible services and benefits to people

Also SO MANY PEOPLE want to vote and are struggling because they have to stand in 10 hour lines or they need ID that is expensive/hard to obtain or they can't get off work and the absentee process is confusing.

Start with folks who already WANT to vote but just need help ffs!

“When AI takes away everyone’s jobs, the government will have to implement Universal Basic Income!”

The Government:

this is maga mentality in a nutshell, only they are real people with feelings and reactions, everyone else is just a programmed npc there to facilitate their glorious journey. a movement of millions of people united by having the internal voice of a dead rat

it will never not be funny how they thought bsky was going to be a google campus and instead they got tumblr and they absolutely h a t e it

We have too many people with power who have never been punched in the face before. You gotta have that on your resume if you want to be in charge of stuff

what if i fucking kill you

Is it a universal millennial experience to be misinformed about the artist of at least one song due to Limewire?

Whether or not the two things are actually correlated, it is incredibly funny that Bluesky started experiencing near daily tech fuck ups right after the team started bragging about using vibe coding
