That's so wild. I'm a cross-stitcher and I can probably tell if a photo of a piece is AI or not. But that means bringing in an expert for a niche hobby to help you.

My favorite part of the Selaco Art Contest was watching tech bros desperately try to prove their WIP's were real.

not your dad either, but: you also do not have to argue with old accounts that have avatars and many followers, it is much nicer online when you don’t

yes, even when they’re wrong on the internet

1) If you're not aware of something like that before you take a gig that means your management sucks for doing this to you

2) She's not quitting the project so I guess she doesn't think they suck

Shot of a Coast Guard officer apparently serving Kristi Noem's aide-to-camp, lugging her $2500 Goyard GM tote. Three sleeve stripes so she's a Cdr, equivalent to a Lt. Colonel in the Army I think

The future is great, huh?

Bari Weiss puts a lot of evil out into the world but, like Charlie Kirk, if it wasn't them it would be someone else with the same backing. Neither is/was charismatic nor even photogenic. They just have the backing of the people who decide which views are legitimate and amplified.

There are lots of great reasons not to celebrate Christopher Columbus. Many moons ago in @thenation.com I wrote about one of the big ones: that the founding legend around Columbus was fabricated out of whole cloth in the 1790s to suit the needs of American politics of the moment.

Part of me - of all of us, really - keeps scrolling and scrolling because somewhere in our monkey brains we think we'll come to the end and everything will be okay.

Damn... They should cast Jared Leto in that Harry Potter series.

My wife thought I was having nightmares because in my sleep last night I yelled "fuck you JK Rowling" twice. I specifically remember that I was dreaming about school and some marketers showed up to promote the new Harry Potter show so I yelled at them.

there's this video where this little kid is running down a hill, hits the side of a car, impact makes a huge sound, kid falls down, and yells, "i'm okay!"

so anyway, I'm okay. are you okay?

Why does our reality have an unfun Skeletor.

Hey. What's up?

It's striking that even in the defenses of Bari Weiss's broader thing no one ever says that she or her website does good work. Even the people that admire the success she's had selling lite reactionary shit to rich old guys top out at "people do seem to like it." You could defend Jake Paul that way.

Honestly, Grok sponsoring a Tron movie is the most anti-Tron thing and just shows how much Ares is straight up corporate tech bro propaganda. It’s very sad. Tron has such potential and never fully gets there. Legacy and Uprising are good but Tron: Identity tbh is the franchise peak.
