I know a little about a lot and never enough to be helpful. A thicket of words. Wherever you go, there you are.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Look, if you want to support someone who understands why we need to regulate the shit out of this particular industry to avoid a whole host of negative outcomes, I’m just saying, the donate button is right here.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Give this stunning artist your money, you won't regret it.

I'll make another post but reminder that I'm looking for work! I did pretty okay last year, but didn't really feel like it because a bunch of gigs paid late/barely on time which had a real knock-on effect, and this year's been very slow

hi #PortfolioDay - available to make otherworldly work from 2025.
TTRPGs, board games, more vinyl covers and concept + visdev stuff for games/film/tv would be cool!

🎃 1. Firstly, out of the chest comes a small yet elegant rabbit ghoul with a vintage look.
A drawing of a small critter in a black cloak from which a white rabbit head emerges, with a top hat. It’s also got a pair of crow feet and some feathers dangling like a bird tail.

Hey guys, I found out what happened to the captain of the Demeter!
The image shows Captain crunch on a Halloween themed box of Captain crunch cereal. The Demeter was the ship that brought Dracula to England. It’s crew mysteriously vanished before it could reach its destination.

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting

The names of the dead and wounded

Jose Andres Bordones-Molina

Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez

Norlan Guzman-Fuentes

Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...
What the Trump regime doesn’t want you to know about Dallas ICE shooting
The Trump regime's refusal to say the names of the Dallas ICE victims exposes the inhumanity of American fascism.

" I get high with a little help from my friends."

Sounds like somebody doesn't help pay for the fucking weed my dude.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*
edzitron.com
I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers.

He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."

www.wheresyoured.at/openai-onetr...
Shortly before publishing this newsletter, I spoke with analyst Gil Luria, Managing Director and Analyst at D.A. Davidson, and asked him whether the capital was there to build the 17 Gigawatts of capacity that OpenAI has promised.

He said the following:

No of course there isn't enough capital for all of this. Having said that, there is enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer.
There is quite literally not enough money to build what OpenAI has promised.

Absolutely nobody asked for this but I reformatted my animal yeetability thread into printable poster & zine files.

Introducing, the "Pocket Guide to Responsible & Sustainable Animal YEETING" featuring a revamped rating system. Download links below.
Poster showing various animals and their yeetability rating. For full rating, see the link in the reply. Intro text reads:

POCKET GUIDE TO RESPONSIBLE & SUSTAINABLE ANIMAL YEETING
by franzanth

In this context, YEETING is defined as the act of throwing a “projectile” at a slightly upward angle with low initial velocity. The goal here is relocation, not destruction. Therefore, YEETING is ideally performed toward soft surfaces like leaves to minimize downward acceleration that might result in said projectile's discomfort.

Released TODAY! “The Demon Detective.” And if you’re looking for me in this, here’s a hint: I’m not the detective.

Nobody hours the level of camp but also sincerity and complexity he managed to balance. He was in on the joke but also took all the emotions as real.

Happy Fat Bear Week to all who celebrate! 🐻

While this bronze bear isn't the chunkiest, it's still a winner to us. 💙

🏛️ Bear, about 1600, Italian. On view now at the Getty Villa.
Photograph of a bronze sculpture of a bear formatted as a meme saying "Me waiting to see who's crowned Fat Bear Week champion." The bronze bear is sitting, its four paws gathered onto a tiny (by comparison) bronze disk. The expression and body language are shy, inquisitive, and perhaps a little sad. The bear is certainly more retiring than fierce in this depiction.

This is fascinating: www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/s/I...
