I saw this tattoo on an Italian tourist (presumably) in the grocery store today. Big bicep tattoo of a lion's head that blended into a clock face.

What's this? It's Mechanical Turk taking the inside line into the home stretch! Mechanical Turk is pulling ahead! They're coming down the final straightaway and Mechanical Turk is *lengths* ahead of the other racers. And it's over! Another tremendous upset for Mechanical Turk!

Thread: Two different versions of this AI-generated image purporting to show President Trump and his assistant Natalie Harp kissing went viral this week, generating millions of views across multiple platforms. Despite being fake, this wasn't a straightforward AI image to debunk. I'll explain why.

Sounds like Zach Cregger's made a fun movie. Although unfortunately for him, I doubt it can compete with my personal favourite Resident Evil film. (Nearly eight-hour long @noahgervais.bsky.social video.)

Sixth body in the area in "recent months". It seems only one victim has been identified. And of course the cops are urging women to move in groups, be aware of surroundings...rather than, say, urging men to stop fucking brutalising us.
