I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

I think it’s critical that we investigate whether Da Pope ever performed on stage, ‘cause that’s just a Blues Brother right there.
What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?
It's the Pope in 1982.

I worked at events in and around Charlotte off and on over twenty years. I can remember one incident where I legitimately felt concerned, and in the time it would have taken me to get a phone to dial 911, a hundred cops were already swarming.
This was before CMPD militarized, mind you.

Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."

“Obeying the law would hurt me and my enterprise” ought to give away the game here
The Trump administration tells the Supreme Court it can’t be compelled to fully fund SNAP because paying out the money would “irreparably harm” the government, while SNAP beneficiaries … *won’t* be irreparably harmed by going hungry? The balance of equities here is completely upside down.

Ok, annoying but necessary nuance here:
This is AI *upscaling*, not Gen ai. AFAIK, it doesnt scrape media or need data centers. No environmental or ethical concerns as of current info.
HOWEVER, I'd still opt out as it will play havoc with low res. It's like motion smoothing, you dont want it 😅

*End users* can opt out, and will be able to check in the player whether they are watching a real or upscaled video. But I am very curious, if you could put an exact cost on this decision in terms of kWh/atmospheric CO2, what the total would come to.
