Somehow, Cross Guy returned. (And this time with loud music, as Jesus would have wanted it.)

Saw this last night and can’t stop thinking about it. Bold and wild and vulnerable. Don’t think I’ve ever wanted to write to a director before and say “thank you”.

This is the reason Houston has done a sudden 180 on AI data centres in NS:
“Houston repeatedly dined with EverWind CEO and founder Trent Vichie  — who donated to U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2024 election campaign — at Vichie’s residence in New York.”

Just hours later, and the Belarus potash deal has already been cancelled. I wonder if the Food Professor still thinks Canada is being arrogant for standing up for itself.
Screenshot of a tweet by The Food Professor

“As I've said time and again, the world's largest economy has options.
President Trump's message below about potash makes that abundantly clear. Our arrogance as a country remains our greatest weakness.”

(Trump’s message was his Truth Social post about making a deal with Belarus for potash.)

Facebook Marketplace is WILD. Folks will be like "Mid-century modern" and also "purchased from Wayfair two years ago" in the same sentence like no Mackenzie it cannot be both.
Screenshot of a Facebook Marketplace listing: "Mid-Century Modern Dining Table and 4 Chairs

Mid-century modern dining set includes a rectangular wooden table with tapered legs and four molded plastic chairs. The table has a dark brown wood finish (walnut) and was purchased from Wayfair 2 years ago for 850$."

Trump thinks the federal interest rate is a reflection of a country’s credit rating, like when you apply for a credit card at the bank hahahahahah
TruthSocial post

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World — BY FAR. Our Country is BOOMING with new Investment! If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year. The word
"Deficit" is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS. We are "carrying" almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer. LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

Imagine being more reckless and evil than the AI industry …
The only control or "guardrails" that A needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades! The Trump Administration has stopped Al "people" from doing bad, or potentially bad, "things," like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a
"perfect little angel" - and we will continue to do so! We already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies! There is a SICK conspiracy going on against Al and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China. WHOEVER WINS Al, WINS! We are leading China, and all others, and will continue to do so. Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD

At this point, I don't even care if we find out he killed someone in college.

AI sucks etc etc but for a little while it was also very funny
Kitchen scene from Pinterest. Shelves with stuff on them. AI generated. The more you look, the less the picture makes sense. Some kind of infinity kettle. AI slop. The rice cooker doesn’t want to be part of this shit, and is slowly vibrating itself through the wall into a better photo. Victorian era devices of suspicious intent. May be gynaecological instruments.

Another historical inaccuracy from Nolan–everyone knows there was no blue back then! Smh
Screenshot from the beginning of the trailer of The Odyssey, showing lots of blue in the background, and a general blue tint overall. 
Scholars noticed a few years back that Homer didn’t mention the word “blue” in any of his writings, leading to speculation that our ability to discern the colour may be a more recent development.
