I just realized that one of the easiest things to spot in a slop image is that it’s a simple, stupid idea, and no one would put that much work into such a simple stupid idea, so it becomes humorless. A simple stupid idea with an overcompressed face pasted crooked over an image with iStockphoto […]

@tomjennings May I recommend, in answer to your final question there, the just-released movie, The Social Reckoning . Its prequel is also good, and important, and I got to see them as a double feature. But the answer to your second question is in the current movie.

@darwinwoodka Feeling bad for them doesn’t matter. What matters is what we can do to make it better. Getting this guy to talk to his kids instead of his asshole buddies makes the world better. Compassion isn’t “being nice”. It’s being effective.

Zuckerberg isn't just sticking his tongue up Trump's asshole, he is also serving his own interests by suppressing efforts to make folks get pumped to vote. Billionaires do not want us hanging out and talking lest we take back the tiniest portion of what they've stolen thanks to the regime.

Chart from economist Gabriel Zucman showing that Prop 40, a one time 5% wealth tax, would bring billionaires wealth back to where it was Sept 7th. At that point it was 178% higher than on Jan 1, 2023.

I invited him to the other side of the street at one point. He said “I’ve been on that side of the street.” I’ve heard this a couple times from these guys. People voted for Obama for change. Obama failed for some reasons of his own, but more that he had extremely powerful enemies. But people […]

The cops said to the guy “You don’t have to say anything back to him.” At this point he was completely demoralized. He tried to be intimidating, and now he’s just embarrassed. He went home a few minutes later. It was getting cold, and none of his buddies came out to support him, probably […]

The guy was so disappointed that the cops didn’t arrest me for responding to his political speech (itself a response to political speech) with political speech. In the middle of talking to the cops, a complete wreck of a homeless guy came up and told the guy that he, too, supports Trump. Facial […]

He’s 78. He has kids, but no grandkids. He’s there because he doesn’t like Muslims or anyone non-Christian. I asked him “So that includes Jews?” He remembered that this time they’re supposed to like Jews, so he said “Not Jews. I like Jews.” I pointed to the other side of the street and said […]

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

The SDR frequency band is on the left, showing some sort of Shephard Tone thing going on. On the right of the screen is a plugdata screen with an Oblique Palette object at the time controlling three little sets of knobs and sliders. The output is going to an envelop follower that is sending its values to output 1 of the Palette.

Behind it is a big yellow oscilloscope that’s showing a complex waveform.
