The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

never forget that trump’s supervillain origin story is when obama roasted him to a crisp at the white house correspondents dinner. he fucking hates the appearance of weakness, and nothing is weaker or funnier than storm troopers backing away from frogs

i’m worried about the frogs. they’re the most hopeful thing we’ve seen in a minute, and they’re incredibly effective at pointing out the absurdity and incongruity of the admin’s approach. and . . . they hate that

Our third LP “FEELS LIKE HELL” is OUT NOW via @dongiovannirecords !

This record, this band, exists because of the people who hold us up. The community that listens, that shows up, that makes the noise worth creating. We love you. We’re endlessly grateful.

I'm trying out audio books this year bc I just don't have the time to sit and read. I recently finished The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman by @nikostratis.com. LOVED it. Took longer because I had to stop, listen to records and sit in my memories. Go listen!! Or read!
The screen shot of an audio book. The book is Niko Stratis's The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman. The credits say it is written and narrated by Niko Stratis, the language is English and the book is 6 hours and 21 minutes long. The book cover is this wonderful dark teal color with just the title on it.

That (NPR!) journalists think AI is a creative engine that can finesse iconic productions is not just context for the crap quality of writing in media but alarmingly the inability among a class of supposedly professional scrutinizers to distinguish between art and slop, good and bad, truth and lie

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.
