pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things
Tweet exchange in which a photo of Anne Hathaway is posted by @TheRoyalSerf, to which user @VvSchweetz24 replies "@grok...do your thing. @Grok replies: Anne Hathaway isn't Jewish; she was raised Catholic but left the church. She married Adam Shulman (who is Jewish) in 2012 and celebrates Jewish holidays with their kids. SHe's played Jewish roles, like in "Armageddon Time."

Had someone pick this up from my shop today. As a reminder apropos of *gestures* I turned the 1944 Simple Sabotage Manual the U.S. provided operatives in occupied Europe to help citizenry resist fascism and made it into a easy (duplex) print zine. Its Free.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .
Text: “A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including citizens, for not supporting the president. Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle. Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the president decided to make us a meme. After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal government doesn't act extrajudicially. Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions. This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and …”

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
I do understand: you want permission. There's a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don't look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn't notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don't need me to believe it's useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

I think we all have a moral obligation to use AI image generators to make pictures of tech CEOs committing obvious crimes, like robbing banks or something.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Okay, I enjoyed the Barracuda Trial that was in the Sailing Alpha, but my god I *need* to get into this, this looks wild.
A Barracuda Trial, but with loads of crystals everywhere and portals to sail through.

Silksong only took a year and a half to make, Team Cherry spent the next 5.5 years perfecting the conefly's ability to hit the player from a different dimension.

hopper quote from a bug’s life: you let one ant stand up to us, and they all might stand up! those “puny little ants” outnumber us a hundred to one. and if we ever let them figure that out… there goes our way of life! it’s about keeping those ants in line

I almost think we should just let Jared Kushner buy out EA, if he accidentally radicalizes the Sims community and they take to the streets they're gonna fix everything.

DK Bananza is undoubtedly good, but if nothing else I hope that "Oh banana" stays in the cultural lexicon somehow.

Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well.

I still regret not getting a selfie with the unhinged rant the owner of the Airbnb management company left on their front door after the government passed new short term rental laws. It was like if Luther was hammered instead of the theses.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face. -Andre the Giant

If I could complain about something that does not matter, the Culver's drive-thru people always ask for a first name and then give me an order number anyway. Why ask for my name? If I'm being generous there is a 1/8 chance you spell it right, let's just skip it.
