Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"

Future plans for the channel will eventually include colorizing Sunrise, and when it goes public domain in 2035, de-colorizing Gone With The Wind. I also want to try my hand at audio description without it going to commentary.

Is it perfect? Heavens no. But it's better than what even the reworked colorizer (re-DDcolor) was. So from a technical standpoint, I'd like opinions. Also, this is historically significant as the film debut of The Three Stooges. Back then, it was Shemp, Larry, and for some reason Moe was Harry.

Now, how I colorized this was taking a reworked colorizing script, getting a ton of AI coding help because I haven't coded since 2001 (VisualBasic .NET, and this is Python), and a few days of patience. Oh yeah, I somehow took a 600 MB source file and had a 250+ GB project folder. 🫨

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

I had a fun idea inspired by a thread on Fark. What if I were in charge of a radio station for 24 hours, and the motto was they play anything? Like a Bob or Jack FM station. I'll work on this in Apple Music (I don't use Spotify), but I know how I'd kick it off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFO_...

Protests that started in Spain and then spread to France and Brazil have now started in Belgium. People are sick of being told there is 'no money' by billionaires who are becoming trillionaires.

We are sanctioning the ICC because we are a country that commits war crimes. We are buying diesel from Russia to fund Putin’s war machine because we are a country that likes *other* countries that commit war crimes.

It's the same with Roethlisberger. Nobody talked about what he did in his younger days, except for me, and a friend of mine who was creeped out by him around the time of his incidents. (I still say he bought his way out of the Georgia incident.)

I'm kinda sad that my Dad's DNA won't continue on, that I'm aware of. My younger brother chose not to have kids. I then discovered that my Dad wasn't my biological father. However, there were rumors he did have one or two besides what turned out to be the lone one he had with my Mom.

This story is great but man I am laughing at how much this guy looks like Michael McDonald - did any other genes even make it in? If you told me that he’d been the result of asexual reproduction by Michael McDonald I’d believe you

A guy who looks basically 1:1 like Michael McDonald who recently found out Michael McDonald is his biological father
