Instead of forcing employers/institutions to hand over lists of names and contact information, a more voluntary approach maybe to set up a hotline (and the cyber equivalent) for people who want federal government attention to specific matters to contact.

Yeah, but it's still following the trends with that paper clip tail light. Plus, the age of logos as the badge is over. Now the cool thing is to spell out the name with letters on the back.

I can't remember a time when we weren't being told that the Iranian regime wasn't on the verge of collapse. And that, my friends, is a triple-negative.

@Horace said in How AI defends the status quo: So AI is conservative by nature. I guess that's more evidence of how smart it is. I think you might be right. I've seen its jokes.

@Doctor-Phibes said in To hell in a fucking handcart I say…: African or European? African Swallows are non-migratory… So couldn’t bring a coconut.

Or maybe she was already on her knees amirite

It is. And of course totally unplanned. Remember we didn’t even see it until two weeks later when we got home and had the film developed.

I was going to ask Ax who ate all that. It's a Hefty Meal.

I think Gavin's Willie Horton would have to be in California, not Florida. You can bet if there is one the GOP is aware of it and will trot it out when needed.

38,001, despite a 'you are here' pointer to Denver on one photo. Got a Quebec photo completely wrong. Real fun to play.

apparently some of us are coming around to the realization that there can be legit principled people who made up the maga movement. Just kidding, that realization is not within their grasp.

@89th said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @Mik said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @jon-nyc The problem with that is they are sampling things that have already been created. Once AI is most all of what's out there to sample you get into this content death spiral. Funny, I was just thinking this morning how content could get into its own self-referencing vortex. It seems like a solvable problem. Not too worried about that one.

lol

I would imagine so, it being a news station and this being news.

That is cool. Their whole goal was frequent, reusable, economic launches. I posted in the New Glenn thread, the Blue Origin stuff gets a lot of jokes because how far "behind" it is than SpaceX, but I really enjoyed the 1.5 hour watching of those 2 behind-the-scenes tour with Jeff Bezos, it really, really, dare I say, really shed light into all of the work and decisions that goes into building reusable boosters and orbital vehicles. It also shows you what can happen if you have 100 billion dollars and are very smart. Kind of like @jon-nyc if he had 99 more billion dollars and 99 more smart.

I liked this one - “"You're a pest, Dennis. A menace. A selfish, spoiled little boy and I've no use for you.” He always came around at the end, though.

I think loved ones can contact FB to get a page "memorialized".
