interesting counterpoint from some Computer People

screenshot from a post on hacker news at ycombinator.com that reads: "andex is Russian Google.

Of course they have bots... That's how you index the web.

If we took Google offline I bet there would also be a reduction in bot traffic from them too!

Indexing is also probably a low priority task, so if half their datacenter capacity is taken offline, their bot traffic probably reduces by more than 50%."

Phoebe is perched loafing on a log jutting out over the lake. her tail is curled over the edge of the log. i added some filters in GIMP to make both the photo and Phoebe look like a painting. we can't see her face but i like to think she's looking deep into the lake's waters and contemplating the infinite. text on the image reads "Alerce Andino Natinal Park" and "Los Lagos, Chile"

picture of Selena Gomez looking flabberghasted. she's looking at the camera wearing a shocked look on her face and is holding her sunglasses in her hands, as if she had just taken them off to get a better look at something off-screen that was shocking. that's what it looks like at least, who knows what was happening when this photo was actually taken

just havin some fun with GIMP filters who needs AI when you can just find a photo and slap a bunch of filters on it to *look* like a painting. it's not rocket science! also look @ my cat Phoebe 💜 #catsofbluesky

photo edit where i pasted a cutout of my black cat Phoebe into a photo taken at Alerce Andino National Park in Chile. said photo is of a lake surrounded by mountains covered with green trees. it is daytime and the sun is hiding behind thick fluffy white clouds. i put Phoebe onto a fallen tree trunk that's sticking out above the lake. she's perched on the trunk chillin looking out into the lake's waters contemplatively. i put several different GIMP filters on the photo edit to make it look like a painting, including a filter that's a sort of canvas texture as the final touch. i added my handle "Astro Bride" in the bottom right-hand corner in cursive to look like an artist's signature.

Phoebe is in a seated position with most of her back to the camera. only the right half of her face is visible. she is looking at the camera wearing an intense expression -- something between dread and apprehension. though at the same time she also looks very mysterious, almost villainous. text on the image reads "Mordor" and "Where the shadows lie"

Phoebe is wearing a softer gaze but still bright and alert. her eyes are trained on the camera. text on the image reads "explore Kenya" and "Laikipa National Reserve"

photo edit in the style of a postcard where i pasted a cutout of my cat Phoebe (who is missing half of her right ear) into a photo taken at an outdoor cafe next to the Louvre in Paris, France. i put a small cutout photo of Phoebe sitting and looking alert, her bright yellow eyes fixed sort of downwards. maybe she's looking at the whole fresh fish on a plate that i added into the postcard and put on the table in front of her. Phoebe is specifically seated in a comfy-looking chair opposite a man eating lunch. the man is watching the crowds of people hustling and bustling outside the Louvre.

text on the image reads "From Paris With Louvre" and underneath those lines i added a doodle of a heart

lmao, don't they know if you're gonna do a color revolution you need some modicum of actual support to exploit first?

Unlike in the 1960s, when the earlier task force oversaw the training and equipping of a partner force of Cubans that launched the Bay of Pigs invasion, the current task force has no organized Cuban partners. Nor is it allowed to enable lethal operations, though a task force at the C.I.A., by nature, is flexible and the authorities under which it operates can be changed at any time by the president.

people like Trump, Russ Vought, Stephen Miller, etc. are TERRIFIED to reckon with the sins of their forefathers. it's why they do the things they do 🧵because i felt like rambling

Historian Lonnie Bunch, the Smithsonian's current secretary, is the first African American to lead the institution. In an unrelated interview that aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Bunch said "the notion of being a more perfect union, not the perfect union, is really what motivates me."

"I think what I want people to understand is that there is a responsibility to continue to make those aspirations available, accessible, meaningful to a whole range of people," Bunch said. "And that, in essence, America's greatest strength, it's not running away from its history, but it's understanding how that history shaped us and continues to shape us."
