Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Reflecting on the Resident Evil movie, and a thematic takeaway that's sticking with me with me is that it posits that no matter how insecure and incompetent you feel, you will never be as stupid as the people in power whose real incompetence will fuck up your life way worse than you could yourself.

"We are PROFESSIONALS who GIVE A SHIT." Beautiful quote from PAC, the bastard sweating in a sauna in Mox's basement, and beautiful poignant words from Jon Moxley. "Whatever it is you do, do it with purpose and gratitude and GIVE A SHIT" You gotta listen, text does this no justice. #AEW

Feels like if someone survives the execution they should just be allowed to live. Seems extraordinarily cruel and unusual by this state to me.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

I want to be very clear about this, by the way: I had sufficient sourcing to where I could have reported this at Deadspin back in 2019. I had confirmation from multiple sides of the story. I'm sure some my colleagues could have, as well. But it wasn't worth the potential harm to PAC's livelihood.

Taylor I genuinely like your reporting, but you have to admit a lot of the backlash isn't related to COVID, it's more on your heavy use of AI and advocacy for use of Twitter despite both AI and Twitter's inherent extreme rightwing biases.
