The same graph as from the post upthread, with TRUMP TARIFF "LIBERATION DAY" explicitly called out. The promised improvements to the economy as a result of this are not evident from this chart.
Another in the continuing series: economic charts with "Trump Tariff Liberation Day" explicitly called out:
same image as in upthread post, except with an explicit callout for TRUMP TARIFF "LIBERATION DAY", the shift in economic policy that was supposed to usher in a new age of greatness. The chart seems to indicate that it has so far failed to do so.
Another episode in a continuing experiment, applying Trump Tariff "Liberation Day" to graphs of economic statistics:
One result of a Google Image search for "baseball John 3:16 rainbow wig guy" from a webpage titled "The Rainbow Man/John 3:16 and Other Shorts" from the Wexner Center for the Arts, probably copyright-protected but the Wexner Center website appears to be down and it won't tell me one way or the other. Image shows Rollen Stewart, a bearded, longhaired weirdo wearing a rainbow wig and a TV shirt that says "BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST" standing and waving his arms in the aisle of a mostly-full baseball stadium.
What a beautiful cover of a beautiful song. Thank you.
It always reminded me of the first message in a box guy in my living memory, Rollen Stewart, at first weird and joyful, and unfortunately later, the OG Milkshake Duck.
He is still in prison.

...and apparently we're gonna need a new billion-dollar air defense radar, and a shitload of Tomahawks and Patriots, and I have no idea how we even GET "new" F-15Es anymore (maybe some other nation will let us buy them BACK???)...
The impression I get is that an awful lot of these folks said "nope, this is some bullshit" and took the buyout when the DOGE folks showed up, so you may be looking at the dozen twenty-year-veteran people who were all Apprentice to the Old Folks and had to stay because of kids in college.
one result of a Google image search for "tea balls", shows several handcrafted tea balls and one blooming in a glass of water
he doesn't know that tea comes from the tea balls
UPDATE: I'm not sure if an admission from Trump administration officials counts as "finding out", but...

The TV just said "LifeLock now includes protections against scams" and I was skeptical about AI but now I'm starting to wonder if it's developed an understanding of ironic humor...
Happy Friday Afternoon in Melbourne, to all those who celebrate it.
It seems like this is a relatively straightforward math problem, that will depend almost entirely on two things:
1) what is the effective armor class of "innards"?, and
2) what is the attack modifier for "currently being digested"?

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO SUCK

SALUTE

A while back I saw a posting for a lawnmower with a security clearance at CIA headquarters, and got really upset that my clearance had expired.
It's a decades-old IT joke, but honestly I'd love to be able to say "I mow lawns".
UPDATE: either the Manus pilot is over, I have been randomly moved out of it, or someone noticed that I spent an entire week of posts dragging it (success!) and trying to get it to say "motherfucker" (failure!) and purposefully removed me from it.
In any case, TLDR summary: it sucks, don't use it.
Jeremy Clarkson may be a reprehensible old bastard, but at least he'd have found a comical way to destroy these. Strap rocket engines on the back and launch them from a ramp off the cliffs of Dover, maybe?
are you fucking kidding me oh my god
You'd have to do a deep-dive into the inconsistencies between pictures to find the specific impossible things, but there's no point: it's all impossible because LLMs don't understand the Hollywood concept of continuity as a tool to aid in the suspension of disbelief.

I would expect a Staff Sergeant to have changed units at least twice, so it makes sense that division patches and unit crests change between pictures. Also, depending on active duty and guard and reserve transitions, that same soldier could have three different occupational specialties.

Twenty-odd years ago, a photojournalist did a world tour with a photograph of Michael Jordan as a calling card. And he was amazed to learn that everyone -- even people in the sticks who spoke no English and had no television -- knew who Jordan was, and wanted their picture taken with the picture.
You can't fool me, young man! It's turtles all the way down!
This is the first one I saw, and it set off my bullshit detector, so I went looking for more.
Verdict: she's wearing different medals in every fucking picture. The only constants seem to be that she's a Staff Sergeant, and her name is US Army.
How do you tell an LLM "tighten up your shot group"?
If this pattern holds up, any day now we can expect a story about how the FlexSeal guy, like, rapes Muppets or something
These are Tempest-hardened national security bidets.
Franz Ferdinand's US tour has been cancelled, citing visa issues.
I am part of the pilot. My review after a week:
If what you want is an automated system to replace your content with weird clickbait-listicle-style headlines, this is a thing that sometimes does that without lying. Whoever is responsible-
...well, I have never wished a man stabbed in the face...
It's weird because now I really wanna find the other nerds from the high school wargamers club circa 1985 that spent so much time on the "current USAF vs. 1 million Piper Cubs" argument and let them know that we're about to find out.
My little brother in Milwaukee starts his flats under grow-lights in mid-February. By the time the frost risk is over, they're ready to transplant.
It came out a few days ago, the genuinely hardcore gamer nerds have already reached endgame and are now busily grinding world quests and prey events for gear.
"...I mean, have you SEEN him? No way he lives out the year", he added, probably.
(angry goose meme) WHAT CASE, MOTHERFUCKER?
Critics say that Trump's war with Iran could have a lot of blowback. But there is no historical precedent for the United States overthrowing an Iranian government and then facing 50 years of hostility from Iranians.
