Focused... Total Attitude. Early evening. My big feathered friend, Otto the Great Horned Owl (Husband of Ophelia), keeping a watchful eye on his territory. He was preparing to hunt. Very intense. So handsome.

People forget the Kate Beaton comic the "Poe looking suspiciously at a letter" meme comes from is also a devastating read on Jules Verne.

It’s so much weirder than other Big Institutions destroyed by VC, because the Hudson m’s Bay Company essentially *created* the nation state of Canada. Survived for 355 years only for late capitalism to devour it. It’s so so so much more strange than Toys R Us or whatever.
minor drama:

a year ago, the historic Hudson's Bay Company was destroyed by venture capitalists, and they were the traditional olympic outfitter. The company was of course evil but they came around to acknowledging their history in their later years, and the 2018 olympic outfit was fire:

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.

She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.

It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

Are there sports guys on here who adopt the annoying too-savvy doomerism of politics guys? Saying stuff like "You really think there's going to be a second half"
if you see someone posting "I CANT BELIEVE IT, HOLY SHIT" or "THIS IS UN-FUCKING REAL" later this afternoon know with confidence it's either someone watching "the big game" or more evidence of elite wrongdoing uncovered in the unending global pedophile trafficking scandal

I'm glad there's a path to end up with Holy Heavy Water, but I feel you haven't fully explained *why* you can't convey Heavy Water directly into Holy Heavy Water. What's the reasoning there?

Is a priest unable to bless Heavy Water? But the same priest would ostensibly be able to bless Peroxide?

Sometimes I absolutely love social media.
Unfortunately, no. There is no way to convert heavy water into holy heavy water.

However, if you start with Holy Water, electrolyze it within a blessed Buchner flask, add Holy Peroxide, then freeze it in a reliquary and purge, the remainder will be Holy Heavy Water.

I’m here in Minneapolis and in a few groups responding to the attacks - observing, recording, warning but also getting groceries to people in hiding.

The post below doesn’t ring true to me at all. The volunteers are amazing (most do more than I do), and NOBODY is worried about protestor behavior.
Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

according to a pediatric ER doctor my wife follows on Instagram they have started to see children coming in sick because their parents are asking ChatGPT what the correct dosage is on over the counter medication instead of just looking at the instructions on the bottle
One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.

Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.
