Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

Disappointed with the past few years of Halloween decorations obsessed with finding new ways to make skeletons heterosexual.

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

I'm sure it's not in any way a problem that a "good" "journalist" posted some ai slop photo as though it was march documentation, and this was reskeeted by the march organizers. Not a problem at all.

A screenshot of a skeet posted by Kara Swisher, reskeeted by Indivisible. The text says 'No notes' the image is of four animal inflatables with an American flag in a pose sort of analogous to the famous Iwa Jima flag-raising photo, except many details are just a bit off so the 'photo' is almost certainly AI generated.It also has no alt text or crediting.

Professional merch design is mostly hurry up and wait on various licensor approvals and throwing away 90% of your good ideas so I so desperately crave being able to finish a thing with minimal interference for once

Okay new idea for a library service: leave a hobby take a hobby. When people get bored with a hobby they can come and leave their supplies and books and half-finished things, and exchange them for someone else’s supplies and books and half-finished things. Hobby swap.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

@kickstarterunited.org is on strike right now but management is promoting new jobs on LinkedIn!

Go tell their CEO to take care of the employees they have before hiring new ones.
