I don’t think it’s so much that he’s a centrist as it is that he doesn’t see himself as an actively political person and those people tend to have muddled politics because they don’t get that handed to them by some central figure or organization so everything is kind of piecemeal

There’s a guy who shows up to random pickup basketball games and starts refereeing. And sure it’s a funny bit, but he’s also good at it.

The BEST thing that true believers in AI could do is stop evangelizing to people, like me, who think it sucks. Do the hard, years-long work of detaching your beloved technology from the worst people in the world right now: shameless fascists driven by greed and domination. They’re YOUR partners.

Even dogs get victim blamed when drivers kill them. This is absolute ghoul behavior.
A Facebook post about a driver in Auburn hitting and killing a dogWas the dog on a leash. Why was the dog in the road?

I am sorry that this happened. Just a question, was the walker wearing reflective clothing with a flash light while they were walking on the road with the dogs. If they are wearing all black, they are not going to be spotted. But on the flip side, if the driver felt or heard a noise they should have stoppedWas the walker wearing high vis or the usual black, navy blue, or dark Grey?

Did the driver swerve to hit the dog or was it dog not under the owners control? If the dog wasn’t on a leash, then we know who was at fault . As far as I’m aware, Massachusetts has a leash law, and that goes for even walking your dogs in the woods.

Listen: I don’t want to minimize the danger of high e-bike speeds. But if the problem here is that stores sell e-bikes that can drive faster than legal limits, then where’s the story about how literally *every car dealership has been doing the same thing for decades*?!?

A new hidden camera investigation by Marketplace shows how some stores are selling e-scooters and e-bikes with top speeds much higher than provincial speed limits and with recommended rider ages young...

A perfect trifecta of morons welcomes David Ellison to X as Ellison announces that he will honor both Paramount and Warner Bros. by renaming the new company Skydance.
Moron #1: Spencer Pratt. Moron #2: Some blowhard named "CyberPunkFightClub" saying he hopes Skydance movies won't have "woke BS." Moron #3: A guy named "Kirk Reagan, Starship Captain"--JESUS H.

Pope Leo XIV
@Pontifex
O...
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
