There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater

People are being rude to the creators of Flarf, Jibgube, AND Vreelax??
Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

The applause at “We must keep our children ignorant of the horrors we are inflicting” is (arguably) more distressing than the rest
@elivalley.bsky.social hey I have an idea for a comic
Why is Sarah Hurwitz suddenly doing so many media hits and why is every single one of them basically a caricature of the pro Israel view?
"I'm sorry if this is a graphic thing to say, but … when I'm trying to make arguments in favor for Israel … I'm talking through a wall of dead children."

If you don't remember the time before the full text/video/audio Internet the magic machine of ILL is harder to appreciate
I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.
Killing IMLS could have killed ILL.
This is great news. 📚

Reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes's beautifully phrased "a chemistry is performed" description of the Theranos process
I laughed at loud. These people are so pathetic; our enemies are numbskulls. They will kill us all and still not know hs physics.

Remembering J.G. Ballard, born OTD 1930.
I’ve been reading his work for many years & I can readily appreciate why many qualify his writing as ‘timeless’.
And I can think of no better imagery to accompany this post than the equally timeless appeal of David Pelham’s superlative cover art 🙂
