I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

I can only assume most of the replies were variations on "Hell yeah!" and "Sign me the fuck up!"

I also love the idea that a soda which was invented in the middle of the Victorian era would be shocking to the point of death to people at the time of its creation.

Washing these clothes in the Blood of the Lamb. Maybe I should switch to detergent.

Also people writing the phone number for legal aid/their lawyer on their arms when expecting certain types of law enforcement interaction, but that's about it.

I wouldn't describe that ai slop fake image as a "photo".

Check out the weird flags, the way the part of the water bottles with paper showing through it also has a different cap color on that half of the bottle, etc

I thought that was Mask of Zorro

As opposed to the original poem, which was cold stonefruit genius

Take the wrong lesson from a movie:

The Princess Bride: If you need some change, check a corpse's pockets.

Not nearly enough parking -- if you got rid of all those cars, think how many U-racks you could fit in that space!

Weird for a church to be encouraging suicide like that.

The Lockpicking Lawyer is McNally's boss, so that would definitely be unethical.

My favorite is when I waste 40 minutes filling out their pre-registration forms on my phone, and then they make me do it again in person once I arrive anyway.

This is a very good point. I can probably just practice it tomorrow, though. I just don't think I'll get around to procrastinating today.

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

This is "I am going to put that cute — but surprisingly practical — anthropomorphized animal in a horrifying situation" erasure!

Even as a reader, absolutely.

Tasty, too.

Not only people -- buildings need time to adjust, too. Large building HVAC systems don't handle sudden temperature changes well at all. I work in a warehouse, and anomalously hot weather makes us all feel like we're going to die.

I would argue they're also good for making demi-glace, but you're right about them not being food themselves.

“Chat,

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

The votey on that one remains one of my favorites.

That's why I prefer "seitan", a word with no negative connotations at all. 😈🍞

A review truly calling for a response by an Artemis astronaut.

Aside from it being against the rules because he's a dog, the dog on the Wonder Wheel is certainly not tall enough to ride that ride.

"Noted. We got this very cheap backup facility on the waterfront." -- Upper management, probably

I'll admit that I didn't expect US war crimes to be how the world would end up with a meaningful carbon tax.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:

- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)

- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal
