Nope. To hell with AI slopaganda, for any cause. Using AI to fight fascism isn't fighting fascism. It's just rolling around in the fascism.

Paying through the nose to get YouTube’s football coverage only to find out they block the only game we want to watch each week. This makes me hate football.

I have the Ibanez AWD102NT model of this guitar. The AWD is on the right while the guitar on thee left is its cousin the AS103NT. Both guitars are 20 years old.
The AWD102NT is on the right while the guitar on the left is its cousin the AS103NT. Both guitars are 20 years old. They have matching natural (light) finishes and both are semi hollow guitars.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

I don’t block accounts that share AI slop, but I do mute them so they no longer show in my feed. That includes politically charged accounts. (Unless of course the account is super defensive about using AI for imagery, in which case I’ll block them.)

A manager says "you're fired!" to an employee. The employee says "uh, I'm not sure if I understand. I'm Millennial, so could you frame this as a Bluey reference." The manager gets on the phone, sighs and says "see if the human resources Bluey is available." A person in a Bluey costume says "yer fired, mate." The ex-employee smiles and says "I am sad, but reassured by your gentle, non-judgemental simplicity." The manager watches the ex-employee leave and says to the HR Bluey "honestly, we have so many Millennial employees now, we should just hire you on full time."

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Video: Bennie plays with her food. I got her some of the “human grade” dog food they sell at the store and she’s suspicious of it. In the video, she is sitting on her pillow and taking quick stabs at the piece of chicken with her paws or her mouth, but she’s not eating it (yet).

Robin Trower, front row, right in front of his amp set to 11.
Concert ticket stub for Robin Trower at the Springfield (Mass) Civic Center. Because there were no seats on the floor and because I got there really early, I was able to snag the very front right at thew stage, facing Robin Trower’s amp, set to 11.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

I remember when gas first breached the $1 level and all the gas pumps were suddenly obsolete because they couldn’t dispense at a rate higher than 99.9 cents. That was circa 1976 or so.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Wish I still had this Ibanez 2351 Fancy Les Paul Studio copy. Circa late 1978. Everything except the neck and body are upgrades done at the Ibanez factory. The story goes that Ibanez was using up the last of its Les Paul copy parts by combining them with the hardware from its new Performer series.
An Ibanez Les Paul copy, model 2351, with “Fancy” upgrades to the tuners, pickups, bridge, tail, and even knobs. The finish is a tea burst, called “Antique Violin” in the Ibanez catalog.

No need to link to this article. I’m just here to say that if you showed this headline to a true Rush fan from 50 years ago they would cringe in horror. Then again, maybe they’d think that THE FUTURE had finally come to pass and that it was a cool and great place to be.

God says to a man "you have died. Prepare for judgement. You will now confront your best self. The version of you that lived up to all your potential." An exact duplicate of the man pops into existence and says "hi, it's me! Your best self! I'm exactly like you!" He continues "turns out youa ctually did live up to all of your potential!" The original man puts his hands on his head and says "Jesus, that's depressing."
