Big thanks to @sph613.bsky.social for his work on @swiconography.bsky.social -- I've been working on some underworld-y stuff for my HalcyCon costume later this year, and having a collection of the icons has been a HUGE help!
It's fine, because they're all really space aliens, anyway.
Maybe it's generational?
Twenty years ago there was probably less Star Wars and more old-timey GI Joe and random cowboy junk.
I promise you are not ready for this
It would be co-opted by foreign governments pretty fast. We'd see huge bets from China that America wouldn't let them take over Taiwan. Massive bets out of Moscow against cutting off aid to Ukraine.
If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

I mean, your boss sends me a few... 😄
I gave up on FB messenger. My author page there gets constant solicitations.
Maybe he's finally reached the bottom of the barrel?
Eight, counting the attacks his administration has ordered ICE to take on American citizens at home.
And what do people OTHER than those conservatives think? What's actually happening?
I know it's awkward, when reality has such a clearly liberal bent these days, but that's still what you're supposed to be reporting on, rather than just echoing counterfactual propaganda.
As a Star Wars fan who frequently writes about Star Wars things in messages and social media, it strikes me that one of the reasons I'll never trust AI is that whenever I type Star, my phone ALWAYS suggests that the next word I must want is Trek.😛
Stray thought, but if ICE goons are getting a personal bonus per arrest, that means there must be a payroll record tying each agent to the arrests they make. Masks on site won't stop a subpoena of records after.
I am 50 years old, and STILL haven't mastered the art of pouring milk into cereal from a new container. Jug, bottle, box, doesn't matter -- every time, that very first pour leaps out of the bowl.
Every time this guy comes up, I have the same reaction:
"Larry Sanders would never..! Oh. Oh, Larry SUMMERS."
Two colour illustration of Barad Dûr, with Sauron's eye at the top. surrounded with the ring inscription in elvish. the sky is red with sparks and ash floating in the air, the tower is above a fiery chasm. The front doors are glowing red with silhouettes of chains and armouries. A cloud of ash conceals the horizon. This will be a banner and riso print first. Digital prints coming later this year.

The most dangerous part is that this is purely a thought crime... the same acts depicted by performers are treated differently under the law based only on an imaginary relationship. It doesn't protect anyone real, or stop anything real, and its only supporting argument is "slippery slope".
Thanks to technology, bananas are becoming obsolete as pretend phones. The future belongs to the Pop-Tart.
Preorder for the Glow-in-the-Dark Luke and Anakin Skywalker designs ends on Sunday Feb. 22. These are a more limited release and therefore won't be offered in my large preorders. So be sure to check out the preorder before it closes. You can find my work at ericheerspinkceramics.com
Only on the right side of the ship.
C'mon, Rule of Threes, you know who we're all rooting for next..!
"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits."

That feels like an admission of fraud... California should sue him for the cost of getting their high speed rail project back to where it would have been but for his fraudulent intervention. On an ordinary defendant, that would be insane, but Musk has the money to fix the damage he caused.
Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text
I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.
The story goes like this, in 1967 a little girl called Takara’s customer service number, and asked to speak to Licca-chan.
Not wanting to crush a little kid’s dreams, the operator quickly replied “Hello, this is Licca-chan!”
Very cute, totally harmless. …right?
"Homosocial" was not a word I'd encountered before, but definitely a problem I'd observed, so it's nice to have a name for it!
Yeah, I can't see what drug that is, but I look forward to being paid to order it. I'm sure I can find a doc who will prescribe anything for a share of free money (plus some drugs, I guess).
The new Muppet Show special on Disney+ is amazing. I really loved it, and I hope they pick it up as a series.
