32 years later and The Lion King can still make me cry.

Probably the best fan art of an emotional moment I’ve ever done.

Truth is stranger than fiction:

6 April 1945, 1:05pm local time. USS North Carolina (BB-55) is offshore of Okinawa providing fire support and AA cover. While fending off a kamikaze attack, the ship is struck by 5” fire from a friendly destroyer. (1/4) #ww2 #usnavy #navalhistory

Went to work yesterday morning and didn’t see snow outside.

Forgot about the ice. Slipped and fell on my ass.

My back still aches.

The major winter storm and cold outbreak in the central & eastern U.S. this weekend will be most notable not for record cold, nor heavy snowfall, but instead for very heavy ice accumulations that will cause widespread/severe electrical infrastructure and travel disruptions.

AI is dying. Repost to make it die faster.
👀 | OpenAI is reportedly burning cash fast, with losses projected to reach $14B in 2026 and a possible cash shortfall by 2027.

Analysts say AI profitability was overestimated, as rising data center and inference costs could lead to a $207 BILLION industry shortfall by 2030.

Honor has no price tag. It is bought only through actions, through conducting yourself with integrity, with kindness towards others, with ferocity towards those who promote hatred and bigotry. Nor can anybody, no matter how wealthy, buy it or take it from you. Honor is priceless.

The president is batshit insane and needs to be in a straitjacket.

For the love of God, impeach the fucker before he kills us all.
