I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this πŸ˜‰

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.

Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Haiti TPS is safe for now.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Bring back aggressive Pooper Scooper Law enforcement, I say as a dog owner myself.

I can't believe the Armageddon military commanders story has gone viral based on one person's claims to have received complaints from servicemembers. That's it! That's all we know. Yet somehow it's gone viral and now Democrats are seeking a Pentagon IG investigation

I’m glad someone said this to his face and more of these CEOs need to hear it: If the conversation around tech seems negative now it’s because you, your products, and what they’re doing to our society fucking sucks. You stopped making optimistic technology and unleashed MechaHitler the job killer.

obviously the classwashing of Platner is especially egregious, yet it's endemic to electoral politics; Dubya, the failson Yale frat boy who once owned a baseball team, could steal a close election by cosplaying as a homespun, drawling, religious cowboy

he's not wrong in the sense that opera and ballet def don't have the cultural cachet they *used* to have within this country, but, ofc, that could also be said about The Movies …

White House War Montage Irks Ben Stiller, People With Brains Ben Stiller asked the White House X account to leave β€œTropic Thunder” out of its deranged propaganda video, saying β€˜War is not a movie.’ The montage, which mixes movie scenes with real Iran footage, is offensive to anyone with a brain.

As much as I enjoyed Marty Supreme, it does bother me that there is little to know Oscar talk about Ethan Hawke, who really got the contradictory essence of Lorenz Hart just perfectly in this.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's casket arrived at the House of Hope for a service in Chicago on Friday morning. The public service caps two weeks of memorials for Jackson, the civil rights leader, who died at 84. nyti.ms/4aThLMd

This is a very good encapsulation of how a lot of us feel about the impact of AI on a day to day basis which is that using it to find information can be more helpful than Google but a lot of that is because Google has gotten much worse
