en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_... Crassus, the guy from whose name crass comes from, ran a private fire department and booming real estate business. His men would set your home on fire, then offer you decreasing offers to buy it and put it out as it burned to the ground. Don't sell, it's ashes.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Chancleta has been endorsed by a family of three random raccoons who saw him from outside. One of them even stood on our patio chair on two legs, like a person. This is incredible news for Sandal's campaign to represent whatever it is he is running for.

At the top left is a photo of three raccoons beside the words “A FAMILY OF THREE RANDOM RACCOONS.” Below, red text reads “PROUDLY ENDORSES,” followed by “CHANCLETA” in large white letters. At the bottom right is a large photo of Chancleta, an orange-and-white cat looking directly at the camera.

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: on the set of the Jerry Springer show, a man sits in a chair. Jerry signals off-stage and says, “we have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the live studio audience is booing. Panel 3: security attempts to break up a fight between the man on stage, and his ancestor, a tiktaalik.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

I am far from the first person to observe this, but Yuds stuff is classic auto-didact shit. Part of why we send smart kids off to college is so that they can meet a bunch of people smarter than they are and come to the painful realization that they aren't hot shit. Certainly worked for me.

An AI engineer with round glasses says "we figured out that in order to get the A.I. to make more human-like art, it needs to draw from a set of personal emotional experiences..." He holds up a tablet displaying a program entitled "C-PTSD-GPT" and says "so we gave an A.I. the memory of having divorced parents." He gives it to an engineer with square glases who sees that it has generated art of a sitting childlike figure flanked by two arguing, monstrous dinosaur-like skulls. He comments "Wooooah... this is DARK." Round glasses replies "you think that's good? Wait until you see the one we molested!"

Oh for gods sake. First, while it’s true that Florida has the highest ACA enrollment in the country, no, there are not "5 x more people enrolled in Obamacare in Florida than live in the state." Around 19% of the total population is enrolled, which is high but hardly over 100%. 1/5th =/= 5x.
