I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Every time I see a serial killer tv show advertised I think of this
My dad used to work with Ted Bundy at the University of Utah and every Friday my dad would say, "See ya Monday-Bundy" and I can't imagine how much Ted actually thought about murdering him for
it.

And, for the coup de grace, two bills protecting fire survivors from predatory insurance companies, which he vetoed, deliberately, to punish fire survivors for rejecting his "reform" bill that was actually a huge payout to SCE for starting fires. calmatters.org/economy/2026...

Someone at work once asked me what my guilty pleasure was and I immediately shot back “pleasure never makes me feel guilty.” I’ve seldom felt cooler than I did in that moment. Literally one minute later I tripped on an extension cord and hit my head on a whiteboard in front of the entire office

feeling this hard -- i am so glad that there is an actual conversation that's taking place around cornell, and that survivors coming forward isn't being dismissed as 'woke 1' or whatever the fuck. and it's also hard to ignore that we've been here before, in the recent past, and nothing changed.

If you click on the link you will see that the information is in there, I didn’t make up the number. Even if I did, if I were merely suggesting that Jay Leno made 454 Monica Lewinsky jokes, that would still be a commentary on Jay Leno and not “making light” of Monica Lewinsky. Do you get it now?

It’s especially goofy in the UK & Ireland ones where the hosts ask someone to take the picture of the wall and hand it to them so they can do their quip and toss the picture down

Like maybe the X “magically” appears on the portrait still on the wall? Maybe when it is revealed who has been murdered the portrait falls off the wall “by itself” which better justifies it going back up on the wall but now with the X painted on? I don’t know, something cooler

Dear The Traitors: I love you & have watched just about all your iterations and I am begging you to stop doing the thing at breakfast where the host tosses the portrait of the murdered person on the floor. We know it goes back up with the X on it later. There has to be a better way to do this moment

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
