I reached out to The White House and asked about its use of AI-generated Halo imagery. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai just responded to me, and it's insane.

A few years in, a CDC drowning prevention program was ready to share its findings on how to mitigate the leading cause of death among young children. Then the administration terminated that staff.

I didn't realize this until my second watch of Superman: James Gunn sure loves projectiles you can control remotely. And I think he may be onto something, considering Mister Terrific and Yondu are my fav characters in Superman and GotG, respectively.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning

Like I said, let "libs" organize how they want — they got millions of people out on the streets yesterday.
But a record-breaking protest is not a victory. It does NOTHING unless there is a plan to harness that energy for something more than donations to the same political class who got us here.

Has anybody else figured this out yet? If you stop in front of an NPC's car in Mario Kart World, you can make a traffic jam of up to 40 cars in a line before the NPCs abandon their stopping behavior and push forward through you.
It took about 15 mins for them to pile up.

I took a stab at a backlog title after work today and finally finished Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.
Great game, rough camera sometimes, hate the minecart levels, and LOVE how cheerful CT and Toadette are.
Captain Toad 2 on Switch 2? I dare you, Nintendo.
