Who could have predicted that the company run by a weird auton, who released a child grooming AI, would also release the up-skirting-creeper spy glasses?

Why are we not casting all these debased billionaire weirdos in to a volcano instead of worshipping them as tech wunderkinds?

Bah, fell from my walker at half two this morning. Cue an undignified bum shuffle to the bedroom and prodding Matt with a (walking) stick to get help to get upright again.

Was already 10K fucked from GrimmFest. Could have done without this.

(I’m fine, just a bruised butt and stiff arms)

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Oh, man, Drew Struzan's departed us.

You know all the hits, of course; the man was a legend. Here's a rejected (!?!?) poster he did for STAR TREK V.

The movie-era USS Enterprise speeding towards a planet that's in the process of exploding. You can HEAR this poster.

Yeah, yeah, it’s nice for the morally superior people to point out that immigrants aren’t actually going to need A level English, but that’s not really the point. What’s the message?

The usual one: we’re going to be TOUGHER on those evil immigrants trying to infiltrate our precious bodily fluids.

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

Rest in peace to D’Angelo. I’ll never forget his third album and masterpiece Black Messiah dropping in December 2014 the day after the Millions March after weeks of protests for Black lives took over NYC. Will always associate this song with what started that winter. youtu.be/T3CunfPYkME?...

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

RIP Michael Eugene Archer aka D'ANGELO. 🕊️
