Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

Every single person since the invention of agriculture has been obsessed with one important question: how do I get the fuck out of agriculture? The email job is fucking great! These idiots are incomprehensible (gender)

a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes

What if Platner had gotten a really disqualifying tattoo, like a picture of Hillary

Or perhaps google wants you to play new Vegas because it loves you?

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

That OnMessage question would have justified a Canadian invasion to free Minneapolis.

Any of you mutuals will be at TILTing Perspectives this year?

Tbh even Star Trek: Barclay would

The thing about Star Trek: Riker is that it would be rated NC-17

its kinda funny that, as we are re-running the 80s (iran, dementia president, culture boring, etc), the big technology upending everyone's worldview is......Transformers......

4-panel SMBC comic update. A lawyer in a suit is passing an envelop to a man sitting at a desk. The lawyer says he was sent by the employee's wife to serve him these papers. The employee is shocked, saying that he loves her, and trails off saying she loves him too. He pulls the papers out of the envelop. It's filled with blank construction paper. The lawyer adds that she also sent crayons and horsie stencils, prompting the man to say "HOORAY!" happily.

I need to do an upbeat comic week one of these days. They all end with hooray.

I don't know how to explain this but Casablanca is a movie for adults.

There are lots of movies built on an element of fantasy about being young or brave or defying the odds.

Casablanca is not that. Everyone in that movie has back pain and they have all just accepted it.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.

Full stop.

"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name

We have to stop this.

António Lobo Antunes, One of Europe’s Most Revered Writers, Dies at 83

“Growing up, it was normal not to have a passport, not to talk about politics, not to use the word democracy,” he told The Paris Review in 2011. “I remember once asking my father as a boy, ‘What is democracy?’ And he answered, ‘Shut up and eat.’”

EU agrees to chop meaty names from vegetarian and vegan food products Lawmakers will ban use of 31 meat-related names as part of efforts to help livestock farmers in food supply markets

Simplification (deregulation) for thee, regulatory capture for farmers.

I like how they're at least explicit that this exists to protect farmers (the most powerful lobby?) and not consumers.

I hope this is challenged before the CJEU.
