AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt Attackers explain how an anti-spam defense became an AI weapon.

Which they summarily ripped off from my friend.

Wait until you get in your forties, kids, and your idea of partying on a Friday night is discovering what happens when you mix Raspberry Emergen-C and Rocket Ice Pop seltzer.

A stillframe from the music video for "Wait," by White Lion.

Watching the Night Flight episode with "Wait," by White Lion, and I never put this together before, but their lead singer both looks and sounds like a Trey Parker routine.

The UX of LEGO Interface Panels LEGO interface panels are beautiful, iconic, and great for learning interface design basics. I bought 52 of them from BrickLink to explore the design, layout and organisation of complex interfaces.

The specific kind of convergence of neurodivergence piece that you can pump into my veins.

A framed honorary Kentucky Colonel certificate, issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky under Governor Andy Beshear and Secretary of State Michael G. Adams, issued to Joseph Michael Pence.

The only title of nobility I will accept. 🫡

MAGA True Believer with the inability to see how much the admin has tarnished the reputation of the Cabinet.

That and the millions to be had in an unaccountable department that can be used as a personal slush fund.

One of my favorite newer creators. Absolutely heartbreaking.

US servicemembers are being killed and Americans abroad are endangered.

Meanwhile, the admin is more concerned with vibeposting this brand of callous 'content.'

Truly America First.

They still haven't gotten over the 'weird' slight, as softball of a criticism as it was.

Was really disappointed it didn't get an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

Cats do always seem to have that preternatural talent for actively avoiding when you try to take a decent photo of them being cute, don't they?

A couch scene with a black cat in the foreground, a calico cat in the background, and a man with a beard and eyeglasses smile in between the two.

What a distinguished little guy. 😻

Here's a rare truce among the cat children (they don't like each other very much.)

Trouble is a black short hair cat, and Foxy is the calico Maine Coon.

Trouble is the more clever and affectionate of the two, Foxy is playful but also kinda aloof.

hey I'm not for or against anything, I just have a lot of questions, demands for transparency and unstated standards of evidence for policymaking that selectively run in one direction and one direction only

Sarah Palin sipping a Big Gulp at CPAC.

Complaining about the added sugar in drinks as a health risk is really an inane level of hypocrisy from the folks who railed on a soda tax just a few years ago.

Two, they came with my Dad. The other is a void kitty. 🐈‍⬛️

Looking up a wooden staircase, with a blue and gold Persian runner stairwell rug. The steps on either side are a deep walnut, which matches the railing. The walls are a light grey, which compliments the white moulding and spindles. On the top step, a calico Maine Coon cat peers out, curling, half-asleep.

My cat, for whatever reason, sometimes chooses to sleep on the top step.

I consider it sort of like a troll toll, but for pets.

Culinary skills, yet another useful life goal the manosphere is irrationally derisive towards.

Yet another thing that speculators and financiers looking to make a quick buck will make a thousand times worse.

Remember when news organizations failed to provide follow-up or context, producing legions of know-nothing idiots like Matt Walsh?

Golden shackles, perhaps.

The actual quote, in context, was "you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables."

Real telling that they all read themselves as being in that category and took offense.

Been going through the Mad Max series with Dad.

The main lesson I have learned from these films is that cars are just adult jungle gyms, perfect for scrambling onto.

Grab onto an exhaust pipe?... Why not?!

Every day some new middleman is devised to add friction to what should be a spectacularly frictionless existence, with the implicit instruction that this is the natural order of things, and you are unreasonably ungrateful for asking why these roadblocks are being put up.

One of the nefarious reasons totalitarians push "alternative" quack cures and nutrition advice like this (Mao did it as well, and others...) is that it's a lot cheaper to give the poor hot organ meat and magic beans than it is to nourish and to provide effective, modern cancer treatments. Evil.

Being truly sincere in your apology means making contrition and working to make whole the victims of your harm.

What do you suppose the odds are on whether we die waiting for these supposed thought leaders of masculine identity to grow a pair?

I would say one of the main right-wing projects of the past twenty years has been gaming every web 2.0 platform into thinking the right-wing is much bigger and more influential than it actually is. And the people who have been most taken in by this effort has been the right wing

'Christian' in the sense that the Russian Orthodox Church is a convenient vehicle for money laundering for the Russian mob.
