In the first 100 days I will dig down into the place of honor. On day one I will issue an Executive Order that the radical woke warning signs be removed and anyone perpetuating the "dangerous and repulsive" lie to be terminated. I will restore the country by touching the ancient treasures.

Three stills fron the television show Wilfred all showing Wilfred in Ryan in conversation outside. Text on first panel reada "we all have to make sacrifices, Ryan. Like the story of Jesus Christ". Text on the second panel reads "I'm sure the roman soldiers wanted to hang out at the pantheon and stare at tit's all day...". Text for the third panel reads "but they knew they had a duty to kill jesus"

Some stories about my friend Kaleb, on the occasion of his funeral:

IT'S JUST DIFFERENT VALLEYS, THAT'S ALL

Kaleb Horton has departed this life, and for those left behind there is nothing that reconciles any part of what’s happened with what should’ve happened. He had a family, grieving now. He had friends,...

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Even worse, if you record your voice and listen back to it, it may not actually sound correct because the recorder often captures narrow frequency range.

It's quite a curious thing that our truest voice sounds but a lie

You can't, really. Presumably the Blacksky team is going to modify AppView in a fork to use the Bluesky moderation labeler most of the time, and allow for overrides.

I was curious if the team had thought out how that was going to work. I have ideas but they're unbaked.

Will the new AppView server still use the Bluesky moderation labeler at all?
