Sometimes a song just hits the mood perfectly, ya know?

Subject is either attempting to hold the shirt down or hold their pants up while placing their other hand in their pants pocket. Face is squinting and red. Photo is taken from a distance and obscured by horizontal slats or bars.

This feels like the kind of story the nation would get excited about when I was a kid. Is it ridiculous? Is it smart? Let’s find out! News at eleven

I considered this image, but the other is more "iconic"

If you see this post a robot

What actor’s expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life?
Scene from Clue (the movie): Foreground. The character of Mrs White (played by Madeline Kahn) wearing a black cocktail dress and white pearl neckless, hands moving up to either side of her face making a grabbing or throbbing motion. She has an intensely irritated look on her face as she utters the lines "Flames. Flames, Flames. On the side of my face." Colonel Mustard (played by Martin Mull) looks on with interest in the background.

The team's essay about the work appeared in Lancet Global Health in August. "You didn't get any sense of modernity in Africa" in the images, Kingori says. "It's all harking back to a time that, well, it never existed, but it's a time that exists in the imagination of people that have very negative ideas about Africa."

How hard could it be???

AI was asked for images of Black African docs treating white kids. How'd it go? : Goats and Soda - www.npr.org/sections/goa...
This is the only “successful” AI generated image from the experiment in linked article that correctly followed prompts and showed a Black figure tending to a white child. This image was generated by a request for traditional African healers helping white kids. Midjourney Bot Version 5.1. Annotation by NPR

I am so fucking angry I don’t even know where to begin 🤬😢

Seattle officer recorded joking about woman's death, saying 'she had limited value' - www.npr.org/2023/09/13/1...
Screenshot from article: text reads “"I mean, he's going 50. That's not out of control, that's not reckless for a trained driver," Auderer says. "Yeah, lights and sirens." "I don't think she was thrown 40 feet, either," Auderer says. A report by the SPD's traffic collision investigation squad later found that Dave had been driving at a peak speed of 74 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone. Investigators concluded that Dave struck Kandula with his Ford SUV at approximately 63 miles per hour, and Kandula was thrown approximately 138 feet. In the video, Auderer is heard laughing, apparently at something his interlocutor says. "Yeah, just write a check," Auderer says, chuckling. "$11,000. She was 26 anyway, she had limited value."

My first golden milk latte. Made with soy milk cause I’m out of oat. I really like how soy milk foams up easily though. I also added vanilla syrup to make it a bit less spicy for me. Overall I’m pretty happy
