This question is impossible. When you think what Jim Henson created. That these puppets can be so real, so representive of both innocence and anarchy; that for generations they have upheld and championed inclusivity and tolerance and all that is right in the face of so much wrong. Unparalleled...
Kermit the Frog stares at a black and white photo of Jim Henson smiling as he performs Kermit, holding him high in the air.

As he looks at the photo, Kermit touches Henson's free hand.

So if I understand correctly, he’s saying that Irish universities should change to a high risk high cost model because Irish governments haven’t built enough homes, haven’t funded universities properly, and are scared of being seen as soft on immigration. If course based on deep knowledge of HEIs.

I don’t know how you read this and say that AI is going to work out financially speaking. This is a senior person at Fidelity saying money invested in AI is dead, and has been for more than three months. How much louder do people need the sound to be?

At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump paid Stormy Daniels $130,000. Boebert paid her staffer $200,000. That’s an almost 54% increase in 10 years. Who said inflation is under control?

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

NB: AI is not going to wipe out humanity. Anthropic are calling for a slowdown because they have no path to profit and are about run out of cash to build data centres. They want the US treasury to fund them instead of investors, hence the call for government involvement.

You often hear that the Welsh uplands are naturally treeless — too high, too wet, too exposed — and that the evidence for it is upland tree cover declining from the late Mesolithic, before farming even arrived. In Eryri, the pollen record shows the opposite. 1/🧵
