I was raised on hose water by a 21" Zenith TV. 12-3 pm Saturdays WRCT 88.3 FM & Tube City Online Radio. Also W3MCK on #hamradio. 🏳️🌈 they/them Journalist, broadcaster, cartoonist, shit-poster. Union proud since 2000. My opinions only — no one else's.
JESUS, DARIA. You know symptoms for women are very different than for men, right? My MIL thought she had gas. That night she was dead.
Get to an ER and make sure, sweetie. You're too important to too many people.
For me, I’m glued to Marshalls

Indeed, the hallmarks of fascism include dehumanization, suppression of individuality, homogenization of art and culture, and reliance on technology to solve societal problems.
So-called "generative AI" is a tool of fascists; it's not subtle
Generative AI is not just the instrument and aesthetics of fascism, but it has permanently sewn itself to fascism in a fucked up human centipede of scammers and grifters and guys who've long ago forgotten how to think.
Unfortunately, all I know about Ernie Anastos is his immortal blooper. I hope you're f--king those chickens in Heaven, Ernie
It's just a great song
On that promised morning
We will wake and greet the dawn
Knowing that your wicked life is over
And that we will carry on
We'll exhale
We'll high five
We will know at last
How great it is to be alive
I told them it was first quality but they didn't care
Someone told me I should probably get a colonoscopy.
Instead, I pooped in a box.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a Cologuard box. And now I'm not allowed to return anything to Penney's any more
100%! Good luck!
Even when writing a straight news story, I've used this technique — just dumping stuff from my notebooks into a long, running take, and then going back and pruning out things until I have a story.
but what's the baby's name, though
It's a shame Al Jaffee passed away
What about overlapping the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman by folding the map?
Can that be the solution?
No one wants to be the last ones with their snouts in the trough in case some foundations start handing out money.

Pittsburgh's media ecosystem is circling the Post-Gazette like a group of vultures following a sick zebra across the desert. It's enough to gag a maggot
A poster in the style of World War II propaganda depicts Donald Trump holding up an oversized Florsheim wingtip. The headline says, "SHOES! FOR INDUSTRY!" The caption says, "HEY JOE! A good-paying job, more sugar and a free mule await you ... if you wear the President's shoes! Only woke leftist scum want comfortable feet." "(If you're a REAL MAN then he knows your size already)"

This is really good advice. Get something down on the page, and then go back and re-write
I don't know what you'd call the nexus of AI/crypto/X-user/magical-thinking-reactionary types but one thing that unites them is they really are desperately, profoundly stupid, and that stupidity grows entirely from incuriosity rather than any natural limitations. They *learned* to be that stupid.
Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. A PADD is shown up close held by a pair of hands. (Kind of looks like an old palm pilot and if you're not old this will mean nothing to you) The beautiful LCARS user interface is displaying the text, "GO AWAY."

Y-E-E-S-S-S-S-S-SSS!
I forget the term but there's a specific word for parodies that outlive the thing they're parodying (or imitiating). Foghorn Leghorn survived long beyond Senator Claghorn. Much of Alice in Wonderland is parodies of Victorian children's lit.
