Does your seeder have an app?

Does it ping Scott’s Miracle Gro when you’re short?

Does it ask for your birthday?

It’s both stupid and anti-Constitutional.

When your big regional gaming convention is bumped from the VFW hall to a nearby shed because it’s someone’s quinceanera.

This is not a whine about a young woman’s party, it’s an opportunity to use this joke.

I understand the optics here but this is also literally why Charles met his end in Whitehall, either Article I means what it says or it doesn't and the Constitution is dissolved

So the Dems need to be clear again that any FMer carrying out direction to implement mil paychecks in the absence of appropriations will be subject to anti-deficiency act criminal penalties, because to be clear even with the reconciliation slush fund BS there is no way to legally so this, period

In this case, I'm curious if people posting the original with some sort of "eek!" comment are part of a bot network.

Yes, real people are dumb and gullible, but sinister networks have an interest in suppressing collective and individual cognition and AI is a useful tool.

AI slop is not funny, it is not whimsical, it is not scary, it is not interesting, it is not cute.

CGI is a distinct feature that's authentically helpful in storytelling, but it's all human directed.

Sharing AI slop is like handing out cigarettes at a daycare, pure moral failure.
