the GOP has always been on the "everything I don't like is Terrorism" beat, but oh boy this is an escalation. what a chilling precedent for preventing anyone with any drug-related charges (or alleged charges) (or vague, fabricated accusations based on racism) from having a chance to contest them

"My Old Ass" was truly wonderful, but I should have been warned that it would get me so deep in my Elder Millennial woman feelings that I might cry myself into dehydration.

A twelve year old can make AI porn of his teacher but cannot see the movie Before Sunrise in theaters. Does that not feel completely insane.

Does it strike anyone as weird that we have a ratings board that counts the number of times a movie says fuck or shows a boob and decides who is allowed to see it, and yet GenAI was dropped on the entire with no restrictions, no age verification, no checks, no regulation whatsoever?

My nails are trying to peel themselves clear off my hands again.
So I did a few days of OPI Repair Mode. Then two more coats today, a warm jojoba oil soak, two coats of Mavala Pro Keratin, and two coats of Manucurist Active Bases.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

The guy on the right in this picture is my Jewish immigrant great-grandfather. Like Stephen Miller’s great-great-grandfather, he opened a store in Cambria County, PA in the early 20th century. He probably attended synagogue a few times with Miller’s immigrant ancestor.
