From what I remember they built a boathouse out of it in Canada and it stayed afloat for a good while.

Not when you’re using AI to silence criticism of AI. Laziness and ineptitude are a feature not a bug.

This is truly insane. I feel like I’m in an episode of the Twilight Zone. What is even real anymore?

I’ve been rubbing for office for years and I’ve nothing to show for it but chaffing.

Same.

Here’s the issue everyone is dancing around. When the white lady plays a historical black character, is she going to imitate black speech? There’s a whole heaping mound of historical issues there that I’ll be disappointed if I have to explain to you.

Have you ever been to a historical reenactment? People dress in period costume, and typically talk like they are the people they are portraying.

The whole story isn’t worth dedicating brain cells too, but you asked to hear from someone who disagrees.

I disagree.

Both the Library staff and the actress are both foolish and annoying and are both in the wrong. The library staff should have thought through their requested characters before asking certainly, but the fact she doesn’t see how it might be, ya know, just a little bit weird, is pretty telling for me.

And the lawyer reading an op ed and convincing her to sue, just puts a bad taste in my mouth. It’s like a legal trap kinda vibe.

At the end of the article the quote from the black actress I think eloquently summed up what feels weird about it.

As with 97% of problems (to quote Cool Hand Luke) “What we have here…is a failure…to communicate!”

TIL Ralph Nader has a podcast.

And is still alive.

A concept of a plan.

Every new headline is like a note you find on a terminal in a long burnt out vault.

All US currency should be Hip-hop themed.

It’s different.

Fuckin’ big pharma. I ain’t sticking Pfizer’s goddamn wantons up there, I’m sticking with PF Changs just like my paw-pee and his pee-paw before 'em.

I think that’s 30-06 and prolly .50 BMG.

Hence the username.

Prolly Tai Chi.

One time, in my youth, I was up late with a single lamp on. The lamp kept making this buzzing sound. I examined it closer, and saw a moth had somehow managed to work itself into the socket under the bulb.

It was a truly terrifying thing to see. Trapped to certain death so close to that object of obsession. I can’t remember what I did, maybe screwed the bulb tighter to end its suffering, or bring it to shining completion.

Those are Velcro patches. Don’t you know that sewing and washing your ass is gay?

I’d watch some videos on the YouTube channel JerryRig Everything. He does destructive tests on these kinda phones.

Well it’s there when you’re ready lol.
