Pedestrian birder in Chicago. Click on #birds tag to see just my bird photos without the whinging. I'm also sharing bird links using the #BirdLinks tag. I'm embarrassed by my typos but usually not enough to delete them. Gear: OM1 & OM 150-400 & 100-400

Income inequality is higher in the US today than it was in 1774, even if you factor in slavery.

Just rewatched The Force Awakens, and I stand by my initial reaction that this is clearly Anthony Hopkins playing Cliff from Cheers

At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

It's crazy making to hear NFL analysts make sweeping judgements about the Bears organization based on them winning a whole bunch of squeekers. At best you can say they have gotten good enough that lady luck can smile upon them IF she chooses to. But these games are practically coin flips.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I'm really struggling to see the utility of the telepresence food delivery robots. They have very short range, can't navigate a dinner time congested sidewalk, can't get all the way to your front door, don't actually replace a minimum wage worker because they need an operator and

It is notable that it took a British interviewer, David Frost, to get this admission out of a US politician and it only happened after Nixon resigned in disgrace for Watergate and not for giving illegal national security orders. The near total US media capitulation to power has such a long history.

I love it when everybody is talking about something horrifying but no sign of the source is on my feed, it's like using the gravity of unseen objects to make speculation about bodies in space
