I found out that you can reuse a decades old calendar if its year’s dates line up with the current year’s, so this year I got a lovely 1998 Xena: Warrior Princess calendar. The way they added show events into it is cracking me up.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

For all the grandstanding, Democrats have been nowhere to be seen on the ground in Minnesota. The work there is being done by leftist groups, immigrants rights orgs, and random citizens. Took Walz almost a week to visit Good's memorial. Democrats do not functionally exist in the conversation anymore

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.
Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.
"She probably doesn't mean me"
I do.

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;
most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!
well, we do. so fuck off.

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"
There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.

Finally sat down and watched #TADC and:
1) Now I understand the (justified) hype,
2) Very into this and excited for more, and
3) Trying to figure out how to make fanart in my style.

For a while there, my dentists office was taking your blood pressure when you'd come in for an appointment. And then, they stopped doing it. I have to think that nearly everyone has elevated blood pressure when they go to the dentist and it was a parade of false positives.

I know this is corny to say but this is the real America, man. This is what it’s all about. This is what those freaks are trying to destroy & we won’t let them
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

I don't care if she didn't follow directions; I don't care if she was disrespectful; I don't care if she was noncompliant; I don't care if she spit in his face, called him ugly, and smacked his mom - "immediate execution by the state" was not warranted; jfc, this isn't complicated.
losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

My initial reaction to 9/11 was shock. I was 25 and worldly naïve. "Why would they do this to the innocent USA?" I quickly realized that it was a response from a world where my elected representatives had been doing awful shit for years in my name with my money and nothing has changed my mind since.

OK, I have finished #TombRaider and it was very good. I would say it's at least Mass Effect level of good, which is saying a lot. Looking forward to starting the next one soon.
