Finally got some white whale photos of some Northern Harriers today, I've been on a quest to get good pictures of them for a while! Delighted to catch this pair hunting — this brown one is the female.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.
Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

i guarantee your book will look infinitely more appealing if you find some public domain artwork you like (there are tons of places to find high res public domain art and photos) and slap a cool (free?) font over it
Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

Caught in the act!
We got our tree up today. It dripped ice and snow all over the floor. Still drying out half a dozen towels. That is what you get when you pick a wild tree that was covered in two feet of snow.

Forgive the cynicism, but I see the current "art vs artist's hand" trend going around (that started on Twitter) and immediately have to wonder if it's an undercover AI targeted dataset improvement thing, like the "you vs you 10 years ago" one turned out to be for improving age differentiation
