If you do like public executions you should be excluded from polite society.

not jealous since we have him and the nazi bar doesn't 👻 you're the one who seems to be simultaneously claiming he's a big star, but somehow he needs to go looking for his fans instead of them looking for him. or maybe you just feel he isn't catering to bigots and xenophobes enough.

apparently none of them attended school or had childhoods, because the most effective to encourage a bully to bully you even more is to immediately give in to their initial demands.

that's an excellent point; he obviously has no fans here and there's no way that his fans would be able to find him where he's already posting and go there (ie here), so he might as well bring more business to the nazi bar because otherwise the fans won't be able to find him. 👍🏾

i can watch fascists, racists, and nazis receive preferential treatment without helping subsidize them by doing it from a distance, thank you. and yes, i also do not touch substack links either. i don't require total purity, but any org that knowingly funds nazis and the like is step too far for me.

she was running for governor, i'm very confident she had the funds to pay out of pocket even if she wasn't insured (which would have been a good follow-up question)

none of the people i know using LLMs have the newest cutting-edge models, but they're finding last month's models are often not good enough at non-coding technical tasks (setting aside that coding also requires lowering standards). ask a model the same question 3 times, get 3 different answers.

i think quite well is highly dependent on what you're trying to use it for and how low your standards are. for example there's an ever-growing list of lawyers, judges, scientists, and teachers who are finding out that quite well is a potentially career-ending level of quality...

If the Democrats win, they have to be ready to bring generational change. Reform the courts, eliminate the filibuster, expand the house, admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, pass a new voting rights act, and prosecute every single corrupt member of the Trump admin.

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Slutty Witch walks through a supermarket on her phone, her black cat Lord Nibbles at her feet. The vampire remarks, "Looks like everyone's a witch nowadays." Lord Nibbles jumps in his shopping cart. Panel 2: The vampire pushes the shopping cart with the cat inside and says to the witch "You should be glad. Witches are cool now." Panel 3: The vampire happily says, "Just like sucking people off is cool now, too!" Panel 4: Lord Nibbles in the cart looks mortified. "You've GOT to stop calling it that."

You ever looked at a guy being alive and went "absolutely not" ? #art #weapon #swordtober

Five beatsticks.
The first thingie is an arming flail with three heads made of a length of chain and a weight each. It has two discs framing its handle, which is covered in blue leather.
The second thingie is a goedendag, it is made of a rough length of wood roughly the length of a baseball bat, with a flared iron cap topped with a broadhead spear tip.
The third thingie is a large flamberge greatsword, with a wave patterned blade featuring two downward curved parrying hooks and a ricasso partially covered in a leather wrap for handling. The hilt is elaborate in shape with two sets of quillions and a side ring with openwork hearts cut out of them, while the grip itself ends in a heart shaped pommel and is decorated with blue tassels.
The fourth thingy is a poleaxe, with a blued steel head and fittings. It has an axe bit and a cloven hammer head topped with a straight awl point, a languette that extends halfway down the shaft and into a shell motif handguard, and a long heel spike.
The fifth and final thingie is an arming flail, made of two lengths of wood hinged together with iron links and studded with large spikes. The handle is wrapped for most of its length with a leather thong.

A judge who's "loyal" to the president that picked them isn't a judge at all; just a fucking stooge—and that's exactly what these people are 90% of the time. Trump's just pissed it isn't 100%.

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

And stop trying to halt or discredit critics by conflating evil AI (gen AI, conversational AI, AI-powered surveillance systems, etc.) with other helpful or innocuous forms of AI. You know perfectly fucking well what we're talking about.

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.
