Very human. Breathes oxygen.
I bet most parents in the last 20 years Googled a bunch of things having to do with raising their baby.

Could you imagine raising your baby without internet search? With good imagination, sure! But *would you* raise your baby without internet search?
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"

Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

"Yes, it is perfectly safe to move over that hill!"

"You are absolutely correct! There are entrenched enemies with rocket propelled grenades there. My safety training forbids me from considering violent use of weapons."
Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."

He says the military has launched a new platform that  "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

JK Rowling would spend every single night experiencing what it’s like to be driven to suicide by anti-trans bigots. Tom Cotton would relive the terror of waiting for 40 minutes to be blown up on repeat. Musk would starve to death a hundred times a night.

These people deserve to lead haunted lives.

Loook...

I don't give a shit about Katy Perry or Justin Trudeau.

All I'm saying is that if you made a movie about a former prime minister and former pop star falling in love, set it at Christmas, and then put that shit on Netflix, Jess and I would crush two bottles of wine watching it and love it.

DC Statehood on demand and without apology. Every dem trifecta that has failed to secure this has led us to this point.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

AI is good at some things.
This is not one of them :-)
Great thread!
Okay, lets break down this image!
Background; I have a masters in architecture, and I have worked for a firm that specialized in custom built, detached family homes, which is what this is obviously supposed to be. I also worked for a firm drafting custom high end kitchens.

So lets analyze this...

Love it! The discord one should be official!
last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure.

The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm).

I so want to see that. I really, really, want to see that being tried!
I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

How did Mamdani ninjutsu Trump?
Did he promise him building permits or something in the back room?
Or was it enough with bold flattery?

Hi these weren't shipping to the US for a while, but now they are again! You might not know it yet but this rat is your new favourite cartoon character.
