That Dr Manhattan meme but the text is about America being in an illegal war for control over natural resources but it’s so many panels that it crashes the entire internet. And then maybe we’re all free.

Before the Iraq war they at least went through the motions of all those bullshit hearings and UN meetings where they did their whole WMD lie parade. A gesture to the idea that waging war on a sovereign nation was a big decision that should not be made lightly.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

it’s stupid to not use ai just because it can induce psychosis and generate child porn. it’s like saying you’re hungry when there’s a hot dog on the ground outside that induces psychosis and generates child porn

the very first question every journalist should be asking after grok generates CSAM is "how did it know how to do that?"
and the nature of the tech is such that there can only be one answer: it was trained on CSAM.
why is that not a COLOSSAL story in the age of broad daylight Epstein coverups?

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

When did Korean instant noodles get better than Japanese instant noodles? Is there a process difference? Is it just a matter of what gets exported? Market preferences that happen to align with mine? Secret brands I don’t know about? I would figure living in LA I have a fair selection to compare.

This seems like a very reasonable team/player/contract confluence.
News: Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami is joining the Chicago White Sox on a two-year, $34 million contract. His physical has been passed. The deal is done. And the White Sox add a bat with superstar ceiling -- and flaws. All the details free at ESPN:
