AZERTY keyboards have this layout but that doesn’t stop google ai from getting it wrong

A cartoon by Tom Tomorrow (This Modern World) detailing a loop of eight things going on that are each a distraction from the one before. The first panel is Trump's militarization of DC being a distraction from the Epstein files.

Good article! Cites a blog post from a toy seller who says “We’ve got the most talented people in the world and we have a multi-century legacy of achieving what so many other countries could not.” And at the same time says this … wtf???
Screenshot of a blog post saying the following: In China, there are no people who are too fat to work. The workers don’t storm off midshift, never to return to their job. You don’t have people who insist on being paid in cash so that they can keep their disability payments, while they do acrobatics on the factory floor that the non-disabled workers cannot do. Chinese workers are much less likely to physically attack each other and their manager. They don’t take 30 minute bathroom breaks on company time. They don’t often quit because their out-of-state mother of their children discovered their new job and now receives 60% of their wages as child support. They don’t disappear because they’ve gone on meth benders. And they don’t fall asleep on a box midshift because their pay from yesterday got converted into pills. And they can do their times tables. To manufacture, you need to be able to consistently and accurately multiply 7 times 9 and read in English, and a disturbingly large portion of the American workforce cannot do that.

Great egret standing in a grassy field with some brush in the background. Its white color really pops. A hawk perches on a bare tree branch with blue sky and wispy clouds in the background, and some more trees in the distance

Squirrel pics from Lover’s Point, Monterey CA. In gratitude to @artologica.net ‘s squirrel pics and beautiful art (I recently bought one from the Algorithm series)
A ground squirrel sits on a rock wall looking adorable A ground squirrel lies on a rock with its head up, looking out over the ocean. Very sharp-eyed viewers might notice a sea otter out there! It was much easier to spot in reality than in this image. A very chonky ground squirrel stands on a rock with a view of Monterey Bay and, across an inlet, a nearby cypress grove.
