I'm sorry, but bringing a beverage to a job interview is how I'm going to screen asshole employers from now on.

Okay, let's talk about AI, how stupid it is for brands to get involved in it, and what "marketing via prompt injection" means. Mars, Incorporated just wrapped a campaign: "Even AI can get hungry. Feed it a Snickers." The idea: paste a "Digital Snickers" to your LLM. You know…for shiggles. I guess.

Man, it was so good to see ISU vs EIU (49-13) in person today. I _really_ needed to be in a crowd and feel that energy. BRMM kicked all the halftime ass, too. Really impressed by the band. Not at all biased because my son is a trombone section leader, though. 4-0 so far...go, you Redbirds!

Goddammit, Apple. The place info panel already shows "Lake America", it's only a matter of time before their vector tile server gets updated to show it as well.

Just want to understand: the 40 min fireworks didn't start until midnight EDT, right? So if fucko just said "light it up" instead of ranting for 40 minutes, the record-setting fireworks show would've shot off its **FINALE** at midnight? What a showman. 🙄

Man, this job market. Been in IT for literal decades, and after a long stretch of getting ghosted—with a sneaking suspicion that a former employer blackballed me for not putting up with her narcissism/racism—or aged out, I’m now a seasonal driver for UPS, and officially a Teamster. Feels good, tbh.

Once fingerprinted, FBI's NCIC and NGI databases had permanent records for these students. This story proves that DHS is correlating their data with FBI data without analyzing it. For DHS, just being in NCIC is the context that establishes their desired pretext: you're a national security threat.

Feeding is, naturally, where the Panican's unique morphology truly comes into play. The wide, shallow pan acts much like a traditional pelican's scoop, trapping unsuspecting fish. But then... a subtle difference. [SFX: sizzling sound]

And all those groups that are terrified of police, and yes, with good fucking reason? They can't "work with police", but those of us with the privilege of being cis while males sure as fuck can advocate for them during a protest, stand in front of them, and make it clear we're all non-violent.

It was the fashion at the time.

Donald Trump, without the industrial-strength bronzer and hair product, wearing a white "TRUMP" polo shirt like that asshole who wears the band’s t-shirt to that same band’s concert, tucked into his pants that are hiked way up to just below his moobs. A large yellow onion is tied with twine and hanging from his belt at the center of his waist, because that was the fashion at the time.

Pro tip for estimating crowd sizes: 1. determine the approximate square footage of space taken up by the crowd (using google earth’s measurement tools, for example) 2. is it packed? divide by 2.5 3. crowded but allowing for comfortable movement? divide by 5 instead 4. you have your answer

Ratcliff just said China's growing foothold in Central America is dangerous because they were using, among other things, "direct aid." Yet we gave up the very same sort of "soft support" tool—USAID—that China continues to employ. Nobody in this administration is representing American interests.

Only Congress can preempt state laws. The Elections Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 4), says that while states have the initial power to prescribe the "times, places and manner of holding elections," Congress has the power to "at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations".

This specifically suspends subsection (o) of 5 U.S.C. 552a (the Privacy Act of 1974), which (before this EO) forced agencies to enter into a written agreement that protects private information and provides oversight when sharing their data with another agency. Your private data is private no more.

Repost me, you cowards.

A variation on the "Drowning High Five" meme, this four-panel comic strip depicts a humorous yet dark scenario that takes place in a vast, unbroken, and lonely expanse of water.

Panel 1: The Statue of Liberty's hand, clutching her torch, is seen reaching out of the water, suggesting she is drowning and calling out for help.

Panel 2: A hand appears from the upper-left, as if reaching to offer aid, or to rescue the drowning Lady Liberty.

Panel 3: The hand high-fives the hand of the Statue of Liberty, and her torch begins to tumble from her hand. The sky turns a pale red, and impact lines are drawn to accentuate the "SMACK" of the high-five.

Panel 4: Both the high-five hand and the Statue of Liberty hand are now gone, and the torch she once held has been extinguished, and is seen to be sinking as smoke rises from its top, suggesting that "Lady Liberty" did not receive the intended help and met an unfortunate fate. While morbid, the comic employs dark humor to comment on missed opportunities for aid in dire situations.

The comic is signed with "BlueSky: @spdustin.com" in the lower-right.
