I suspect the reason this story hasn’t got more play is the reaction, which is basically,”Iran is bombing the AI data centres? Is there a GoFundMe? Put me down for a drone at least.”

The Gordon Ramsey meme where he is soothing a child in one panel and calling somebody a fucking donkey in another

To put it another way: consider a pediatrician trying to soothe fears of a vaccine hesitant parent vs President AOC instituting a nationwide vaccine mandate for school attendance

When I first saw your work I immediately thought of the Blaschka models. It's so cool that your art is getting used in education. Stunning work

A cartoon of a Glyptodont getting thagged in the face by another Glyp’s thagomiser. OOF! says the poor bugger. Why, yes, I have been watching prehistoric nature shows again.

THAG!

Mucosal vaccination in mice provides protection from diverse respiratory threats Traditional vaccines target specific pathogens, limiting their scope against diverse respiratory threats. We describe an intranasal liposomal formulation combining toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and 7/8 l...

Not too good to be true, but definitely too early to victory-lap. The recent “universal” respiratory vaccine paper that’s getting attention is a mouse study, published in Science. It used an intranasal formulation that did not target one specific pathogen.

AI should be required to start every answer with ‘Bleep Bloop’

When men's workload is automated, it's genius; when women's workload is automated it's a character flaw and morally questionable.

There’s an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.

I'm looking for something very specific and hoping the #bsnm has some leads! I need a piece of art (pricewise I'm in framed print territory) 24-30" wide. I'm hoping for botanical illustration; it can be creative illustration but I would like the botanicals to be representative of reality.

the US & israel kicked this off unprovoked by attacking a school full of kids, i'm not sure why the fuck i'm supposed to see a headline about their murder infrastructure being destroyed and think "oh no, what a bad development"

Harry doesn't mind

much like spiders georg teaches statistics, if a dog wore pants teaches anatomical directions

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

hee hee I like how the jacket fits but the hat is just sitting on top of the... pronotum or whatever it's called in beetles

Magnificent

FUCK I love kei trucks.

Prompt: please draw the best mouse Output: an adorably naff mouse

Prompt: ai please draw a sneaky whale Output: a small whale and the words "you can barely see him"

Prompt: show me the best cat Output: dog in a cat mask. The words "not dog"

I want to be friends with every single person on youraislopbores.me

I need more people to get into the Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast so I can shitpost about it

c'mon c'mon shwep.net so I can make my dumb little jokes about mpregging the divine monad and considering a spherical frictionless platonist

And also,

That ship did get unstuck.

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process.

The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail.

So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.

NO

fUCK

i don't get it. you can lift at the gym. being a softhanded scribe is like the pinnacle of civilized life, tens of thousands of generations of your ancestors would have murdered to be a softhanded scribe

I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

why you would EVER let a non-deterministic tool delete ANYTHING permanently?????

If anybody local in Britain can help, or knows someone who can…

I initially picked a much doofier name (former username) that was too annoying to constantly explain to people, so I swung the other way and just chopped a letter off my birth name
