Is that Pope JD Vance in front of a glowing sonnenrad?

Still from the quoted AI video featuring what looks to be JD Vance in some kind Halloween pope costume with a glowing sonnenrad behind him in the all white church like building

Also it only rains in average 80 days per year, but still has higher rainfall totals than London because it likes to go hard when it does rain usually, so no fucking around with drizzle for days on end just a nice quick downpour and back to sun

I'll do you one better, Western Australia winters. In Perth the average low is 8.1°C in winter, with an average high of 18.5°C, and when it does get hot in summer the heat is dry as, and you usually get a cooling sea breeze from about 2-3pm every day

The cold dries out my skin and makes it hard to get out of bed and do anything while forcing me to wear more clothes, the dark depletes my vitamin D and makes it impractical to relax outside and means I'm commuting into low sun that wants to blind me constantly.

Pinterest sending me an email titled "Róisín, this is so you coded!" and the image is someone with a full forearm tattoo of a wand, the deathly hallows symbol, and a bunch of other random symbols I don't recognise.

Yeah, nah Pinterest

The inability of the worst people to stop posting about the shit they're doing and retweeting Trump's brain melting rants is really gonna be the thing that let's Luigi walk away a free man isn't it?

He's going to walk based entirely on the DoJ's incompetence and it's going to be so funny

Justice Department lawyers reposted President Trump’s statements and may have inadvertently endangered their prosecution of Luigi Mangione, violating the judge’s explicit orders that DOJ employees refrain from public comment about the case. trib.al/b9U7CY1

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Quick check, has anyone else recently experienced what seems to be a soft roll back of Netflix's multi-household sharing restrictions?

Nearly a year after losing access to my parents' UK based Netflix account, the last couple of weeks I've found it suddenly works again.

Protecting the children (sending them to the site full of content that will potentially fuck them up)

We're going to ban kids from anywhere even remotely normal, but they can freely go dive into the pits of hell, because we're not blocking them from that.

4chan unlikely to be included in Australia’s under-16s social media ban, eSafety commissioner says

Julie Inman Grant says message board will need to comply with other codes which will also include age assurance for sites hosting violent and adult content * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The eSafety commissioner is not expected to block children from accessing 4chan as part of the under-16s social media ban, despite it being labelled one of the “darker” places on the internet. The eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, was asked by independent senator Fatima Payman in Senate estimates on Wednesday night whether 4chan, the message board often referred to as the engine room of the internet, would be considered one of the sites required to prevent under-16s when the social media ban comes into effect from 10 December.

Why is a family doctor with a special interest in trans medicine trying to interpret patients genetic information as a side project? Also, his later stated reasoning is looking for what amounts to *the trans gene(s)* which can then be "cured" with CRISPR?!

Legitimately, what the everloving fuck?!
