Salvatore in Mission Viejo, CA. It was a hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant tucked into a medical office center. Maybe a dozen tables in a cozy old world setting.

Weird. We attack Iran and kill the top Shia religious leader in the middle of Ramadan - the Islamic calendar‘s holiest month - and only one report on the entire NPR site even mentions it in passing.

I mean, Catholics’ reaction to us killing the Pope during Easter would be kinda important right?

Happy to help! I really appreciate the work the CGSP team does!

@chinagsproject.bsky.social the audio cuts off at 23:30 on the latest China in Africa podcast (“Why Private Bondholders Matter…”). This happened in the Apple Podcast app (both iPhone and iPad) so I don’t *think* it’s a me issue. (It could totally be a me issue.)

They’re how we stopped the Texans in ought-seven.

It wasn’t the beginning of the end, but it was the end of the beginning.

The Hunt for Red Muppets

At first I thought it was just Xfinity in Albuquerque just being Xfinity in Albuquerque, but nope. YouTube is down worldwide

gotta marvel at the AI’s ingenuity: since there’s no front door it has the “Main Foyer” anchoring the Coat Bath, Huge Wakwin Closet, and Master Rgksn.

This really optimizes the flow from the appliance-free Gourmet Kitchen and Gallery Hall — very feng shui

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

Wait, you mean it was all just #securitytheater after all?

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

#OPAG Will be sitting in on some of the sessions today NASA HQ will not be presenting despite the shutdown ending. It will take them a little time to gear up since the US Govt shutdown has now concluded. There is a discussion going on about the core values of all of the AGs in general.

Wish this was true but it’s AI slop.

1) We don’t pay them so they don’t have homes
2) Albuquerque doesn’t have palm tree lined streets
3) Those aren’t the Sandias
4) We don’t use California-style plates
5) We don’t drive on the left hand side of the road

and…

6) The image says “made using AI”

GREED‼️ GREED‼️ GREED‼️

Just going to leave this here:

“The East Wing of the White House is a partially demolished, two-story structure built to serve as office space for the first lady and her staff…”

Or nahá.

When you get down to it, we’re all tourists on this planet!

I was going to reply “except @scalzi.com’s” but I’m pretty sure he’s perfectly happy paying taxes on his church forever.

It’s pronounced “Gulf of Mexico”

Bluesky vs X…

So I shared the same post on my X account and even though I have 194k followers I had less intersection than here with only 5k followers.

Trying to share the beauty of the cosmos in a perpetual dumpster fire environment is tough!

Thanks to all at bluesky, you guys rock x

Some news from the Portland war front!

Wait. The shrimp are cross-contaminated with bananas?!?
