I admit it looks like a toy, but that's 96GB of uniform system/video RAM, 16 cores of Zen 5, 32 threads, and two USB 4.0 ports. Plus 40 RDNA compute units & 50 TOPS NPU.

$1485.

Actually you can still access the sales page from the desktop. Let's assume the failure to render on my phone is incompetence.

Raylan isn't inclined to get off my lap yet, but he is enjoying the Fall. 🍂🍁

The Taliban comes off *better* in this comparison. They don't deny the existence of global warming.
Image comparing Republicans and the Taliban. Both are anti-lgbtq, antiscience, anti-women's rights, anti-abortion, anti-separation of church and state, and pro-theocracy.

Kipling, Harp Song of the Dane Women
1 What is a woman that you forsake her, And the hearth-fire and the home-acre. To go with the old grey Widow-maker? 2 She has no house to lay a guest in But one chill bed for all to rest in, That the pale suns and the stray bergs nest in. 3 She has no strong white arms to fold you, But the ten-times-fingering weed to hold you Out on the rocks where the tide has rolled you. 4 Yet, when the signs of summer thicken, And the ice breaks, and the birch-buds quicken, Yearly you turn from our side, and sicken- 5 Sicken again for the shouts and the slaughters. You steal away to the lapping waters, And look at your ship in her winter-quarters. 6 You forget our mirth, and talk at the tables, The kine in the shed and the horse in the stables To pitch her sides and go over her cables. 7 Then you drive out where the storm-clouds swallow, And the sound of your oar-blades, falling hollow, Is all we have left through the months to follow. 8 Ah, what is Woman that you forsake her, And the hearth-fire and the home-acre, To go with the old grey Widow-maker?

Microsoft will only let you turn off facial recognition on your photos three times in one year. After that, they're going to scrape your photos whether you like it or not, because fuck you.

Ubuntu is really easy to install folks.
The Windows privacy page: People section You can only turn off this setting 3 times a year. OneDrive uses Al to recognize faces in your photos to help you find photos of friends and family. Learn how it works

That was an easy map to make.

If I was still in build a ranch territory, Alaska would flip to Maybe. But I don't think I am.

Conservatives are the dumbest people on Earth. This is a purely technical description.

That's a 20-year gap, folks.

A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck 🦆 @JuliusGoat@mastodon.social I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for? Oct 10, 2025, 05:28 AM ·

Horseshoe canyon, 7,000 years ago.

Tell me that's not a TARDIS.

"A burning sensation, Doc."
In the first panel a man is talking to his doctor. The doctor says "You have gondorrhea. In the second panel the man says, "What?" In the third panel the man crotch catches on fire. In the fourth panel, through the window, we see one of the beacons for Gondor lighting in the distance.

Hmmm....

Sometimes I think conservatives aren't really serious about protecting the Second Amendment.
"The Mulford Act was a 1967 California bill that prohibited public carrying of loaded firearms without a permit. Named after Republican assemblyman Don Mulford and signed into law by governor of California Ronald Reagan, the bill was crafted with the goal of disarming members of the Black Panther Party, which was conducting armed patrols of Oakland neighborhoods. They garnered national attention after Black Panthers members, bearing arms, marched upon the California State Capitol."

Ronald J Bass, "The Perfect Thief"
"My father never understood two things, Paul. What you really can't do. And what you really can." He nodded slowly, thoughtfully. "If you really want to own your own life," I said, "you do your fighting in those very marginal moments that reality gives you. Those small ... rare ... chances. You have to hunt frantically for a wall that *can* be moved, and then fling yourself with all your strength. Again and again and again and again. And again. And again. Until you've moved it an inch or a foot or a thousand miles ... just as far as that one will go. And then you have a little more space ... you can be ... a little more free. It's not the result, it's the process ... that makes you alive."

I don't *feel* violently inciting.

As to the bullying and harassment, I did say mean things to fascists. They got me on that one.

HUNTER S THOMPSON: It takes a while to cultivate that kind of bitterness—where, when somebody calls you a dirty bum, you don’t look in the mirror and think, maybe I should wash my face. You go out and rub scum on you and get dirtier. Then you go back in and punch him and break a bottle and stick it in his gut. So we won’t see what what’s happening today. The people who are being left out and put behind won’t be obvious for years. And Christ only knows what’ll happen when it’s 1985. There will be a million Hells Angels. They won’t be wearing the colors but they’ll be people who are looking for vengeance because they’ve been left behind. STUDS TERKEL: That which was considered derogatory becomes, as you point out, a badge of honor. THOMPSON: Yeah. TERKEL: They take this very thing, the obscenities and all, and it becomes their way of life. THOMPSON: They like to throw it back in your face and say, Yeah sir, I am a dirty bum, I’m even dirtier than you thought. And I’m also going to punish you for calling me that and making me that. TERKEL: Angels bring out this violence in other people. THOMPSON: The Angels claim that they don’t look for trouble, they just try to live peaceful lives and be left alone. But on the other hand, they go out and put themselves into situations deliberately and constantly that are either going to humiliate somebody else or cause them to avoid humiliation by fighting. I’ve seen them countless times put people in situations where they have to either crawl or fight, almost by just being there and smiling at them. And of course, they live in a world that isn’t as polite as the world a lot of people live in…They need their fantasy of being tough. [text omitted because of alt text limit]
