My nostrils cringed.

figment is short for fig newtonment

look at that velvety snoot

Oh come on, don't make me find out WTF "Special Envoy to the Shield of the Americas" is. It sounds more fascist than her old job.

I have very crudely given the Tomatillo Rex black line-drawn tiny hands, big back legs, and a tail. And a clip-art crown. It's bad.

Tomatillo Rex.

(meant to confirm your point, in case I wasn't clear)

Here's what the evidence shows: The school strike — On February 28, 2026, the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, southern Iran was destroyed during the first day of the U.S.-Israeli strikes. Iranian state media reported 180 people killed, the majority of them schoolchildren — mostly girls between 7 and 12 years old. Wikipedia What NPR's satellite analysis found — The school appears to have been struck as part of a precision airstrike on a neighboring Iranian military complex, and it may have been hit as a result of outdated targeting information. Experts noted the school had been separated from the adjacent military base by a wall built between 2013 and 2016. NPR In other words, the targeting data may not have been updated in over a decade. The AI targeting context — Maven, powered by Claude, suggested hundreds of targets, issued precise location coordinates, and prioritized those targets. Experts noted that "AI gets it wrong… we need humans to check the output of generative AI when the stakes are life and death." DNYUZ What "precision" actually means — precision refers to the accuracy of the weapon hitting its designated target. Satellite imagery confirmed "very precise targeting" — almost all buildings in the compound were hit. NPR The weapons hit exactly what they were aimed at. The horrifying question is whether what they were aimed at was correctly identified — and evidence suggests it wasn't. UNESCO called the bombing of the school "a grave violation of humanitarian law." UN News The UN human rights office has called for a full investigation into whether it constitutes a war crime. So: technically precise delivery, apparently wrong target. That distinction offers no comfort to the families burying their daughters.

To strike 1,000 targets in 24 hours in Iran, the U.S. military leveraged the most advanced AI it’s ever used in warfare. Anthropic’s Claude partnered with the military’s Maven Smart System, suggesting targets and issuing precise location coordinates. wapo.st/46BFe1T ‪Comfortably Numb‬ ‪@numb.comfortab.ly‬ · 11h How does Claude justify striking an elementary school? Was it its idea to strike the school twice - once to kill the kids, and second time when parents and first responders arrived?

I just happened to have taken a screenshot to share elsewhere, and the post it was in response to.

I know, it's wild. I'm 61 and apparently everyone in my family waits until they're very old to make babies. My great grandfather was in the civil war.

It was in the 1920's! 👀

Let's say it is. Tomatillo Rex.

Dairy farmer / machinist who invented the router* and ran a factory that made them.

*woodworking, not computer

A plastic grocery bag weighed down with one lonely tomatillo, hanging in front a blurry background of an abstract painting in pale greens and blues with a jagged horizon in darker greens and browns.

Sometimes you order 1 pound of tomatillos and you get 1 tomatillo. So now I'm singing "one tomatillo —" to the tune of "Guantanamera."

Ahh yes, this thread is why I'm now self-employed.

Yup. It's just so ... stupid. 98% of our life is a scam now.

Please make me a browser extension that puts every search word in quotes. Because for some reason this is a need.

Dang, my lentils need to be this photogenic.

this helps

yay!

The internet is good for ONE thing.

Mike sees a Cuisinart anything, and pronounces it "cuzzinart." Then I say "I have a cousin Art." Because I do.

I'm afraid I must now expose you to one of the dumber jokes at our house.

Just texted my neighbor "Do you want some coleslaw?" but resisted adding "Not a euphemism."

thanks!

Thanks, I was wondering if that brand is worth the $$ but I guess 20 years = yes!

Electric kettles. I'm scared to ask because I know people have strong feelings, but is there a known favorite out there? Or just your fave? Preferably stainless steel.
