thinking more about this: it is highly ironic that at the same time that it serves as a test case for the "unitary executive," this administration is all but being led by two subordinate officials with no immediate political accountability.

AI firms are, at present, hemorrhaging money at a rate we have never seen before in tech. The cost we pay isn’t even close to what it cost to built out an operate. Even if you just accept that it will eventually get cheaper — these companies still need to return on everything they’ve lost so far.

I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

I would argue that midwifery is actually the oldest profession. A number of other mammals have similar practices of checking in on herd members labouring. We have the capacity to help each other and we have always done this. THAT is natural. To help is to be human.

If you're interested in telling the folks at Hendrick Motors what you think about their multimillion dollar no-bid contract supplying CBP/ICE with vehicles, there will be protests at their HQ 4-5pm today, Thursday, and Friday. 6000 Monroe Rd, park at the Aldi across the street.
Really nice stiff arm to scumbag former viewers from @wcnc-charlotte.bsky.social on TikTok. Local journalism in Charlotte has been doing a great job covering the attack on our community.
