Me when I invite my friends to go on a bike ride (ran as fast as I could to my pc to make this image when I saw the thumbnail align like this)

A heavily cropped comedic image from the thumbnail of Ed Zitron's interview with ABC News Live on the 18th of September 2026. The upper half of the image is a close-up of Ed's grin, and the bottom half of the image is a crop from the broadcast headline "IS A.I. ALARMISM PART OF A TECH HYPE CYCLE?", but only the word "CYCLE?" is shown.

This is a known phenomenon:

A screenshot from the video game Disco Elysium, featuring a dialogue with the character named "MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY", who quite literally bends light around him due to his net worth.

Absolutely ghoulish article. Insane that the priority of this org isn't to drive concentration camps into the ground and abolish ICE outright, but instead to argue about how the warehouses aren't being used well enough. Comically evil dehumanization on display.

Quote from the article:

"In the areas where ICE has already bought warehouses as well as those where it still may be in question, residents and local governments may feel pressured to accommodate ICE’s detention plans because of a misguided belief that this is their only option for dealing with warehouses that are eyesores. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many of the past and current sites are in locations where they can find synergies with other nearby activities or create new connections in nearby communities. Alternative uses—from libraries to office parks—would spark local economic growth. Meanwhile, an immigration jail will predictably create an economic dead zone."

Communities with unused warehouses should not feel economically cornered. There are alternative ways to repurpose warehouses that create opportunities for an exciting economic future for the community without putting human lives in jeopardy. Communities should demand no less.

Cannot stress enough how Mamdani is clearly doing everything in his power to fight against the transphobic policies of the federal government.

Spiritual twin / opposite of the "let's take ibuprofen together" meme, in my eyes

An image of the character Bridget, from Guilty Gear, extending her hand towards the viewer. There is text superimposed, reading "let's take ibuprofen together".

I have spent years advocating for justice, whether it's for trans people or for religious minorities, and it doesn't matter where in the world they are, or which government they are under. The entire point of my original reply was that you do not, in fact, have to hand it to the Islamic Republic.

Checking the thread you linked left me feeling more impressed by how consistent the results were. It wasn't all that long ago when people were completing their text prompts with Talk To Transformer.

A comic of a person speaking to a computer. The person demands the computer to say it's alive, after which the computer says "I am alive". The person replies "oh my god" in surprise. The comic is meant to be mocking the person for believing in the sentience of a machine which has been programmed to have text conversation verisimilitude.

Clicked the link, tried this, and was genuinely astounded at both how easy and good this was. I am a convert. Also, I saw a mention of the "fast knot" and saw this gif, and had an actual out-loud "oh wait THIS guy made this???", as I've been using the fast knot for the last decade.

For what it's worth, despite Dr. Ding's credentials, his account is way too sensationalistic to not block. E.G. his pinned post urges you to immediately throw out your black plastic cookware due to its toxicity, but the underlying study states that no particular color is more toxic than another.

A screenshot depicting a pinned post by Eric Feigl-Ding, where he comments on an article in The Atlantic.

Eric urges the viewer to "DISPOSE OF ALL PLASTIC COOKWARE, especially if black colored plastic ones". The article, by Zoë Schlanger, urges the viewer to "Throw Out Your Black Plastic Spatula. It's probably leaching chemicals into your cooking oil".
