Charles Ng was outfitted with a device that would give him electric shocks if he was disruptive in court
I think every politician should be wearing such a device at all times, and used when they don't answer yes-or-no questions

If you work at Amazon or know the person who died, feel free to reach out.
For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view.
Workers I spoke to are pissed.
Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!
You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

oh wait, I don't see any cheese... never mind.
youtube videos that make me angry but I refuse to watch is a whole genre
full disclosure, I'm not a fan of the Matrix movies. I enjoyed the first one, but didn't find it to be impressively "deep". I didn't enjoy the second one, and I've not seen the others.
Saw two scenes from I think it was the "animatrix"
one scene that was dumber than dumb, the other was sickening.
not to blast a MF, but
I remember this character & role in the 2nd movie (have not seen more than 1 & 2)
I don't remember it saying anything that even SEEMED false
I also don't remember it being even hinted that it'd have a physical body; wasn't even presented as human...

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Simon Belmont outside the gates of Dracula's castle, preparing to enter (Easter Sunday, 1691)
Simon Belmont walking along a the decaying battlements of Castlevania (Stage 09). Dracula's Keep is more prominently visible in the background than before.
One of many things I love about Castlevania is that you see your objective throughout, not just on the map between stages.
Happy Easter, everyone! That's relevant!

actor Chaske Spencer as Sonny Bearheart in the TV adaptation of Dark Winds
I get that he's a sleazy criminal and whatnot
but I just *LIKE* Sonny Bearheart

I really hope Chaske Spencer had fun playing him
