Hank Hill is throwing up right now
Is he allowed to do this? A huge clunky building - a “ ball room” that dwarfs the White House. We don’t need it. It ruins the graceful beauty of the White house.

“Oklahoma City Thunder” still looks and sounds like a basketball team in a movie that couldn’t get the rights to use real NBA teams

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”
So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America
And what happens when empirical fact is labeled “improper ideology”

When my coworker asked what I thought about China stealing our AI technology to make their own, I reminded him that all AI is sourced from stolen material so it really doesn’t matter. It’s even funnier to hear OpenAI complain about it.
Beyond parody.

Finished my 2nd #book of the year over the snowy weekend. I quite enjoyed Powers’ new book, Playground. I'm a fan of Powers’ prose in general & would probably enjoy reading anything he writes; however, this is my least favorite of his books I’ve read (Overstory & Bewildered). (1/2) #BookSky #Reading

White masculinity is an identity, and playing up the defense of it — via the state, via norms, via violence — is identity politics.

I think they ought to start naming them after major corporations who contribute significantly to climate change. Hurricane British Petroleum. Hurricane Nestle.
Deadly hurricanes shouldn't be called Milton. We should let the Norwegian black metal bands name these things.

It is absolutely insane to me that Republicans have spent decades denying human caused #ClimateChange, and now all of a sudden think some mysterious “they” can manipulate the weather. Make it make sense. #USpol #Helene #Milton

Generative AI hype is fueling a massive build out of hyperscale data centers around the world. It’s not about serving the public, but realizing an extreme vision of the future being pushed by tech billionaires.
DATA VAMPIRES, a new four-part series from Tech Won’t Save Us, begins next Monday.

Incredible! It may not seem like much, but the starterpack has officially signed up 25 people!
And a TON of existing users have used the pack to connect with others!
(Also I know 25 users isn't the real count, only the ones recorded. I can't say how much more, but it's a lot)

One of the reasons I love this film so much is because it is such a wonderful, creative, and accurate adaptation that so wonderfully captures the spirit of the original
"Your future is a horror story written by your crimes," is such an absolute A+ literary line that you'd be forgiven for forgetting it comes from the Muppets.
