Just saw an ad for the new Google Pixel and the focus was how good the AI was and the example they showed was a guy at the store holding up a bunch of cilantro to his camera and the phone telling him it was cilantro. Bro they already tell you that at the store.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she feels “cheated” after she won a concession in the tax and spending bill to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the Trump administration issue orders that she said seem designed to quash such projects.
Sen. Murkowski, feeling ‘cheated’ by Trump actions against wind and solar, says she’ll go to bat for Alaska projects
Murkowski won a concession in the Big, Beautiful Bill to protect tax credits for 12 months for wind and solar. But she said a recent presidential order and Interior directive undercut those plans.

masterful strategy -- if there's one thing I know about conspiracy theorists, its that you just have to give them a tiny slice of information and then they're completely satisfied. won't hear about this again i think.
Trump knows SDNY prosecutors seeking to indict Epstein and Maxwell didn’t ask questions about him in their grand jury presentations while he was POTUS. It’s a red herring to distract from the evidence that matters: witness interview notes, videos, photos, etc.

lowkey best thing about criterion is how it lets you watch the credits in quiet reflection instead of plunging you into another movie 5 seconds after you're done with what you're watching.
The price is reasonable, their curated collections are fun, they clearly know their online and offline audiences, and they don’t have a dogshit algorithm or terrible original content. It feels like a labor of love, and it’s the best streamer by a country mile bsky.app/profile/will...
Criterion — founded in 1984 — is courting a "new audience of cinephiles” via streaming.
And it’s working.
Criterion Channel “has grown steadily” — and created a "low-churn subscriber base” that has "eclipsed the company’s physical media business”.

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. "The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

I remember around the end of October holding onto a vague hope -- in retrospect even then I knew it was nonsense -- that Decent Republicans would see what was coming and help us stop it. lol, lmao, etc
libs on this site are now arguing about whether you should be nice to people when, not IF they reject fascism, as if that's a thing that's definitely going to happen and people won't just double down harder and harder

Just heard Opposable Thumbs is getting another printing! And might I say: It makes an excellent holiday gift. I have the messages from last year to prove it.

Once upon a time, if you wanted to know if a movie was worth seeing, you didn’t check out Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB. You asked whether Siskel & Ebert had given it “two thumbs up.”...

Love the framing of “nearly two decades ago,” as if we’re talking about 1973 and not the mid-‘00s. It was pretty well known then that this is a stupid thing to do! We had it figured out!
Rep. Michael Lawler (R-N.Y.) has acknowledged that he wore blackface as a college student nearly two decades ago, darkening his face as part of a Michael Jackson Halloween costume.
