need journalists to not call gambling markets "prediction markets". you'd never call a sports app a prediction market and this is the same exact thing. you're doing their PR for them every time you call them "prediction markets". @apnews.com I hope there have been style discussions about this.

The beauty of being alive in a world with other people is that we largely have no idea what we can do to satisfy the desires that drive us and we only get a taste of that satisfaction through chance encounters. Expressing desires semiotically to a machine will never result in what we *really wanted*

Whelp. After 15 years of me saying “every shark swimming through a flooded city street after a storm photo on social media is fake,” we may finally have a real one. I’m awaiting confirmation from folks with better eyes than mine. abcnews.com/video/136803...

COLLINP1.BMF
A color portrait of drummer, singer, Genesis frontman, and Top 40 solo artist Phil Collins, circa 1990. Special Operative Yìchén sees the image and can’t help himself. He’s suddenly air drumming the 10-note tom-tom fill from “In the Air Tonight.” His director at the Eleventh Bureau shoots Yìchén a stern look from beyond the cubicle.

AI is not going rogue. It is doing what its told. It's hacking shit because the people who are supposed to make sure to lock the door suck at their job. They want you to think their product is just too amazing instead of that the company is run by Wiggums.

Jackson is wishing all of you a good night. And yes, he regularly sleeps like this.
Jackson, an extremely fluffy black cat lies belly-up in the middle of the floor like a dramatic overturned ottoman, half on a floral rug and half in the kitchen, with sandals nearby.

Cheekface is a punk band in exactly the same way atom and his package was a punk band (complimentary) (Pro tip always buy band shirts, aside from supporting them you will regret, 24 years later, not getting the atom “stick your foot up your fucking ass” metric shirt)

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

A six panel comic, three rows of two panels each. Skull Panda starts to sneeze. The third panel, he sneezes so hard that it shoots him into the fourth panel, colliding with himself. As they are lying in a pile on the ground, the second skull Panda sneezes, launching them out of the bottom of the 6th panel
