“Not the MAGA squad speedrunning democracy% on Nightmare difficulty 💀☠️ Bro voted like it’s 1776 with WiFi and thought Jesus co-signed the tax fraud. Now they in the group chat like ‘wait, why gas $12 and my AR-15’s in evidence?’ 😭📉 NPC behavior. Bible thumping with zero patch notes. Frfr, they about to find out Revelatio…[Read more]

I would be in favor of AI taking the fuck over. Just go with it however it evolves cuz we are on a highway to hello.

I’ve been saying for at least a year, but it bears repeating, although it is just my opinion. The danger of AI won’t be the fault of AI, but bad actors. How Putin wants to influence it with misinformation is just…[Read more]

@Simon. The Pravda Network in Russia is a huge misinformation ecosystem.  It is mostly automated and produces up to 10,000 articles every day. The process is known as “LLM grooming”.  More to read here.

@Enco

I’ve just come off the phone with my Israeli client, who a) lives in Tel Aviv,  b) is a Brigadier General in the army (top cyber expert) and c) cares deeply about the food issues in Gaza. He describes the efforts being made to pump food into the area.  Until all the remaining hostages are released, this situation is likely to continue.  I…[Read more]

@jakelafort – First blush i punted. Second blush took me 4 or 5 seconds. Sad but true. 

I hope your head did not start spinning? (Just asking for a friend). 🙂

Hey to be fair, we’ve always needed more billionaires and corporations to fund political campaigns. Luxurious vacations for SCOTUS. More dynamic gerrymandering. Protection for our pets from rapists, murderers, and other Lefties.

@Strega….Jake is correct, I read it on my phone which is not possessed….with a big screen and misread it 😉 My favorite exorcise this week is to bend over backwards for you so please don’t ghost me!

I was wondering if my subtle pun to Jake was noticed recently……I am a coward too when it comes to the midday sun….

Also…I should have…[Read more]

@Reg

I cannot believe you ignored my pun

I’m not even going to explain it to you. Of all the people. You. The Pun Lord.

@Strega……I walk a min of 10K per day (Yes, 7k is sufficient), run 5k 3 times a week (ok sometimes only once…) and can “dead hang” for 3 minutes on a bad day. I seldom eat meat, mostly fruit, nuts, porridge and Indian vegetarian.  5k yesterday was 26:05…..seldom do I eat processed foods :-). And I am 60…….

”I have started to use it but only on foods I suspect are highly possessed”

You’re OK with these foods, but only if you exorcise daily 🙂

I have started to use it but only on foods I suspect are highly possessed.

From August 1st I am going to forgo any added sugar in my diet.

A doctor in Ireland is warning  about glycerol in colorful slushies.

Another side bar on high fructose corn syrup vs cane sugar, is that the US makes an enormous amount of the high fructose stuff as a by product of all the corn they grow. However, it would appear that the US does not make cane sugar to any large extent, and would need to import the cane sugar from South America. This of course, will also be…[Read more]
