First panel: A sign in front of a well that says "The uncomfortable truths well"

Second panel: A speech bubble from the well that says "For a universe that's supposed to be half Chinese, Firefly sure doesn't have any Asians."

Oh.

β€œWe have agreed” β€” how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

There's a Samsung phone ad where people take a photo of themselves at a night party, then add their dog and make the night into day.

Why even take that photo? What is the point of recording your fake life?

I suggest all americans who think living under an evil regime justifies being killed even when you're innocent immediately take action upon themselves that is in accordance with their beliefs

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

US and Israeli missiles have just hit a 4th school in Tehran.

This is an intentional massacre of children

Expect at most 2 people to read the rules at a given table of 3-6 players, and plan accordingly.

Laser-written glass plates could store data for thousands of years – Physics World Scientists at Microsoft Research tout a potential long-term alternative to standard digital archives

By using ultrashort, intense laser pulses to β€œwrite” data units called phase voxels into glass chips, Microsoft says it has created a medium that could store 4.8TB of data for >10k years – a span that exceeds the age of history’s oldest surviving written records. πŸ§ͺβš›οΈπŸ’‘ physicsworld.com/a/laser-writ...

Damn, they can do that? Wonder what'd happen if you tried doing this with your income taxes.

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

USA under Trump is murderous, fascist, predatory country. It is no longer a constitutional Republic but a police state. I hope every UN nation understands this & imposes sanctions. Deport all US military personnel back to USA. Trump & his regime are not to be trusted by any nation #WarCrimes

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Iran: check this shit out, I drew a fake tunnel entrance. and labelled it Secret Bunker. The American AI burned a quarter of their remaining ammunition trying to destroy it.

The US: claude, give me bunkers hot in Asian land war visible nipples right altitude big tiddies not fooled by black paint

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

sounds like if all 157 were primaried, and one of them was replaced by a real democrat while 156 of them were replaced by republicans, it'd still be an improvement.

today’s guy was a 32 year old DACA kid. they scooped him up for possession last August and sent him to ICE detention in Arizona where he contracted COVID. like probably 3/4ths of these people, it says ICE never officially reported a cause of death and it’s still under investigation. Jesus Christ
