As folks have said over on Reddit--
That's Starscream, pictured midway between his transformation into the jet!😉

My guess is that the middle dude in the top row is Megatron, in the Galvatron helmet!
Naaaaah, that's Megatron!
Apparently, somewhere along the line a scribe messed up, switched out a "t" from a "g", and Megatron the Transformer became "Metatron" the Archangel & "Voice of God"

Every time I see him
That's a GREAT description of him *as a person*!!!
Probably because the job market is crap for young folks getting out of college.
Lots of tech companies & other big employers have had massive layoffs.

two ICE officers who look like they’re about 16
two ICE officers standing by a wall
two ICE officers pacing
two ICE officers, both masked, walking the length of the TSA line
counted 25 ICE officers (most with ERO vests) during my 26-minute wait in the LGA Terminal C Touchless line this morning. every one of them was either standing doing nothing or slowly walking the length of the line doing nothing. at least four were in masks.

Do we have to pick just one? Antisemites, like all bigots, are also not that smart.
They are counting J Street, AIPAC's bitter enemy, as "AIPAC":

Exactly.
I live in Minneapolis, did years ago, and have lived here again since 2019.
There are ABSOLUTELY reasons to loathe Frey & have a red background for him-for being a TERRIBLE Mayor, and not listening to the Community he's in charge of (a Myriad of Reasons, y'all!)
But NOT Antisemetic ones.
Frey sucks in many concretely bad ways but also in many whimsically hilarious ways and it pisses me off
So by the time those warnings came up, we KNEW what Interpol was, and that it was SERIOUS!😉
Don't forget, plenty of us on the back end of Gen-X were also young enough to have watched "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" with the Millenials, too!
And the Chief *did* mention Interpol a LOT!

For those of us warning about “intellectual property” for decades, we are not surprised.
The common theme is extracting from a past reservoir of labor output to generate profits in the present and steal from the future. There's a new machine to do it now, and the gates on the walled gardens are all opening for it--their owners want automated profits. It won't work out the way they hope.
Accompanied by a large side order of impunity for elites, accountability for everyone else.
Getting rid of direct links for "strict copyright enforcement" while putting your plagiarism machine front and center is visionary.
Google AI overview result. Text reads why is google images so bad now Google Image Search is perceived as worse due to a shift towards prioritizing commerce, ads, and Al- generated content over raw relevance . Increased SEO optimization, strict copyright enforcement (e.g., hiding direct image links), and Al-driven "image understanding" often prioritize stock photos, shopping links, and low-quality, Al-generated, or irrelevant i mages. Reddit +5 Here is a breakdown of why Google Image Search has changed:
I usually try to scroll past Google's Ai overview but the results for this particular question were interesting to me.
Your own product is telling you exactly why you suck and you're like "nice. time to stay the course".

Underrated that the era of neoliberal globalism characterized by fierce defense of intellectual property as rents, patents, and copyrights gave way so quickly to a new paradigm marked by the blithe plunder of all human creativity for LLM training data.
He really IS a Boy Wonder!
Because he makes you wonder, "HOW do people *not* see through this man's BS, and see that he's *not* the "Serious Person!" that he claims to be!
Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so sinister

Artificial flavors were first developed in the 1850s! This is just folksy bullshit meant to make people (mostly women) feel guilty for utilizing processed food to get out of the kitchen and into the workforce!
It is entirely possible your grandmother was born in the 70s she knows what high fructose corn syrup is
Either way, North Dakota law enforcement has been pretty unresponsive to the public concern surrounding this case. I asked what kind of facial recognition software they were using and got a nameless, robotic reply from the North Dakota State and Local Intelligence Center: “There are no records responsive to your request.”
An unresponsive state agency would have been a better peg to hang this column on than AI, because in the conclusion, Tolkkinen is going to completely undermine all the work she’s done so far.
So is this a case of AI run amok? Or not? I’m not sure. According to WDAY, the police chief refused an on-camera interview. Was he hiding shoddy police work, or protecting an investigation? Fargo police told me in a statement that they took other steps besides AI to identify Lipps as a suspect but declined to say what they were. I hope their investigation went far beyond using AI before making an arrest, and if it didn’t, that’s alarming.
“If it didn’t, that’s alarming.” Again, is the problem the way cops do their work in general (yes!) or overreliance on AI in particular (also yes!).
Her first four months in jail had nothing to do with the bank fraud charges in Fargo. Instead, she was locked up on a probation violation connected to burglary charges from 2017, according to the Carter County General Sessions Court in Elizabethton, Tenn. She was serving 120 days in that case for failing to check in with her probation agent and failing to register a change of address, the clerk’s office told me. When a probation agent checked on her, the home at her old address appeared abandoned. After the 120 days were up, she was sent to Fargo to face the bank fraud charges. It was late October by then; her first court appearance was Oct. 31. Her defense attorney spotted her financial activity in Tennessee and brought it to police, who interviewed her on Dec. 19. A few days later, they dropped the charges without prejudice, meaning that they can reopen the case. She was released on Christmas Eve. On her fundraising page, she says she was set free in a cold, strange city without a coat or knowing where to go. Fargo police said the jail gave her a coat and that she told a detective she had a hotel room and a ride to Chicago, where family would pick her up.
I am in fact dealing with a mild concussion atm but I’m pretty sure none of this vindicates the use of AI-prompted extradition or cop overreach??
Then I dug a little deeper. It turns out that there’s more to the story.
You JUST SAID you didn't know the full story. I do not have confidence here!!
People have been taken off beats for less. Anyway,
