Curious and curmudgeonly, creative and crusty. Cynic in the nascent stages of recovery.
Just like you, I can't do this on my own.

Rest assured, @microsoft.com and specifically the @xbox.com division are coming down hard on this and aren't being bizarrely silent on the use of their brand identity elements to promote fascism.
Yep, not being weirdly silent at all.

deliberate improvement. I can't capture it on my smartphone, but not only has this pendulum been reinforced overnight, but there are additional thin strands attaching that lonely leaf to the main line AND up to the web structure.

One of my Joros. This web is about 20' up, between two trees.
It was like this yesterday, but with fewer leaves and without the visible reinforcement.
These spiders will meticulously snip leaves out of their webs -- I watch them do it every morning.
This one is using them. There is evidence of 1/

No clue how I got from A to B but somehow reading this is what made it drop in that the "Art" in the title means this is literally just a rundown of what waging war is made of and the only reason it's considered this lofty enlightened thing is because of Orientalism.

Yeah if Professor Tyler Cowen of George Mason University isn't already on a sex offender registry, someone should fix that.
Also wild to assume that she's not getting her binary back blown out in ten thousand different AI porn videos generated in just this last hour.

Great example of a fundamental failure of critical thinking.
1. Every three points not in a straight line describes the perimeter of a circle.
2. This circle exists only in this map projection. Put this on a globe and it's a different shape. Map a circle on a globe and it's a different shape here.

This isn't an empty or symbolic declaration, it's a hazy and amorphous cover to justify any violation the government or a favored private citizen wishes to inflict upon you. There just has to be any evidence -- real or fabricated -- that you are ideologically opposed to fascism.

Every time, every goddamn time, I have to check to see if it's a satire post. Every time, it gets more and more absurd.

That's "clanker" with a hard R for the bots. If you're referring to your autistic homies then it's "clanka."
