Is that an axolotl with the Cascadia flag?

It’s pretty much the best option. The ill-gotten gains of kings often includes piles of trinkets and art that’s not really valuable to the rest of us sold off or melted down. There’s valuable history and artistic merit on display. Turn it into a museum. Charge a little to keep the place nice so the next generations can remember.
That’s such a hilariously good point.
Never get between a liberal and their emotional attachment to buying things. They literally think their god gives a fuck about human money changing hands. It’s beyond an emotional attachment. They honestly think it’s political, too.
Democrats desperately trying to thread the needle of kinda needing this protest movement to have teeth to preserve their norms, as Joe Walsh basically admitted, and being mortified that the movement might ask for anything beyond the status quo.

It’s the HDR bloom effect
In order for the AI to get better by reading people’s posts we, the humans, have to start posting better. It’s not actually learning. It’s just predicting what should be next. And this is the real world. So asking people to voluntarily be better isn’t happening any goddamn time soon. (Especially not with the profit motive of Damocles dangling over our necks.) So this was always bound to happen. There is no graduate school of internet comments that the AI can attend after it’s done scraping Reddit.
And you know what I am certain of? That none of this tech is making us better. It might be making us worse! At least on the internet we certainly aren’t all our best selves! And it’s learning from that version of us. And that’s the last real shit it will “learn” from. I’m so glad that the financial wellbeing of billions of people will be impacted if this godforsaken behemoth collapse.
A lot of “pop” academics/science is just people taking some discovery/concept and trying to merge it with their capitalist realism. At least that’s how I see it. Some article says something about sleep and then the next day some fuck is writing about how bosses should monitor our sleep schedules. The application of whatever learned under capitalism gets infused with capitalist ideology from the moment it enters public discourse.
However much I doubt consequences I think he is certain it’s his only guarantee to stay a free man, so it’s gonna be a real shitshow until he just dies and removes himself from play sometime in late 2027
These colors don’t run!
You know those fascinating videos of folks getting brain surgery playing an instrument as they undergo the procedure? Imagine one of those for Milo where they just give him a keyboard and he types slurs.
