As a replacement may I suggest Virginia by Clipse: youtu.be/f7gIBB7jKc0?...

This is the correct take

This is actually not all that different from how focus groups and surveys usually works. Like, I hate AI as much as the next person, but focus groups and surveys has always been glorified scams that manufacture statistics that reinforce your bullshit. A form of social engineering really.

Is this photo from her Madame Tussauds exhibit?

Will have to try again next weekend to see if it was a fluke.

I’d heard about swing dancing at Glen Echo Park for years but had never gone until last weekend. We stayed for almost 3 hours. Went to bed and slept for 7 hours straightβ€”no waking up in the middle of the night.

I’ve had terrible insomnia for YEARS. I feel like I’ve just discovered the Holy Grail.

On the contrary, force ICE to use these cars

I am old enough to remember the fuel shortages in the 1970s and the ridiculously long lines at the gas station.

So cool we’ve decided to do that again.

When the Dems retake the House, they should force every one of those DOGE bros to testify and if there is any grounds for prosecution to do it swiftly.

Techies need to have inputs that enforce consequences on their actions.

The only power voters have in an election is their vote. Saying they won't vote for the guy who abuses houseless people and hangs out with Ben Shapiro isn't giving the election to Donald Trump, its pressuring the democratic party to put forward a candidate that doesn't fucking suck.

OK first of all, "WITH A JUDICIAL FINGER IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL DIKE" is an all-time banger.

Also, "31st day of February, 2026"?

I’m watching the first season of Paradise, which is an engaging story, but the music choices are RUINING it for me.

Like, there’s no way to make a cover of We Built This City sound anything but ridiculous.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.

the US: grok is this

True. Nevertheless I’ll bet at least one of our senators votes to confirm him.

Sometimes you're done with asking nicely.

Our friend @the666cat.bsky.social put a decidedly Philadelphia spin on the appeal to plant native plants in our city.

Please plant native plants
or
Go to hell!

It occurs to me that the tendency for design teams to focus on deliverables rather than on the process that results in a deliverable is one reason why AI is so dangerous.

You’ve got your pretty wireframe or journey map or whatever an AI produced, but did the team learn anything in the process?

I keep thinking about how the propaganda leading to this war was all about how you needed to rescue women and the first thing they did was kill dozens of little girls.
