Is a man taking care of his own baby a sacrifice? If a woman did the same, wouldn’t it just be her fulfilling her normal duties?

Wow the Oval Office looks like shit

[Steven Huffman @Poeslawisalive]

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has filed charges against a woman who brutally attacked her outside Capitol Hill today.

Here’s a clip of the horrific assault. Viewer Discretion is advised.

It’s called being tired, you ass

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

Jet lag increased my biological age by ~13 years.

> as measured by grip strength
> pre-travel: 141 lbs, grip age 48, ~98th percentile
> post-travel: 125 lbs, grip age 61, ~98th percentile

Traveled across 7 time zones, Los Angeles to Australia.

Grip strength predicts mortality better than almost anything you can measure at home.

A published study of a comparable eastbound flight found the same pattern, about a 7% morning drop.

@YounisJoseph Bryan Johnson has discovered being tired. A real scientific pioneer!

@condiricenbeans He actually does speak english, he's just being bleeped constantly because his speech is so vulgar

[Mike's Hard Remoulade @condiricenbeans]

we know that R2D2 can understand English because he responds when spoken to in English. And we know he can make all the sounds of English because of the Leia video he plays. But for some reason he refuses to communicate in English despite everyone else using it. Maddening.

@condiricenbeans Like French people, basically.

Wait so in California a 17-year-old can drive a car but can't be a passenger in a Waymo by herself?

Young filmmakers are disavowing generative AI, meanwhile Martin Scorsese was just announced as a partner and advisor for a generative AI startup…

In india, if your best friend kills themselves after the mismanagement of the most career and life defining exam in your life and you are upset about, people will tag the home minister to complain that you are saying fuck and talking about it as a teenager

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

What has Weiss done that looks anything like what one would do to win over younger viewers? Put her pet himbo Tony Dokoupil in a Chicago diner to deliver the evening news? A 2005-era debate about god between Steven Pinker and Ross Douthat? What zoomers are crying out for this?

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

I love this braindead narrative that Weiss is revamping CBS News to chase a younger demographic. Last November Weiss said that to win new viewers CBS ought to hire the “charismatic” Alan Dershowitz, an 87-year-old best known for defending Israel and pedophilia.

@DoomriderX It's a placeholder, until it isn't.

Lord of the Rings did not use AI in the manner Flux does.

The issue today isn't "AI", which is a catch all marketing term that conflates a multitude of different technologies, it's specifically generative AI, which came into the mainstream in 2022 with things like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Dalle and later video models.

Generative AI is trained on stolen work and can create full images and videos based on simple inputs.

The AI used in Lord of the Rings was technology crafted by programmers and artists to simulate massive battles. There are absolutely zero legal or ethical issues with that, which is why no one has ever complained about it.

@Pigeonsdestroy "2026: holy shit did you just see what this indie filmmaker made?"

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

2026: Relax, he's just using AI for storyboards!

2027: They're just using it for all the concepts and VFX!

2028: It's mostly AI, but there are still real actors!

2029: It's all AI generated, but human still wrote it!

2030: Well, a human came up with the idea!

@Detective_Roo Great news for this guy, I have just the game for him.
