It wasn’t congress, DoJ is executive branch

Oh look, it’s the American government doing what the American government does

Why the fuck hasn’t anybody done this yet, at any point in the last 10-20 years?

Ticketmaster is the absolute textbook definition of an abusive monopoly in every way. They make it impossible to use anyone else, on either the fan or musician side, so that they can charge way way more than how much would be competitive. Hopefully the lawsuit takes 5 minutes “Your honor I move that they clearly have a monopoly and be sentenced to death” “Granted, fuck 'em, so ordered.”

If you haven’t seen this classic or even if you have then you should watch it

Also, more P Barnes

This is the longest and most confusing Snopes article I have ever read. I feel like the Mandela Effect is clawing at the boundaries of its containment, trying to escape and start to change day-to-day things about my home and the people around me.

Corals: Seek out safe places by determining where it is that their relatives aren’t suffering and dying

Humans: Just make a home here it’s totally safe 😅

A lot of times, individuals who’ve been through rough environments have a deep appreciation for comfort and trust

I’m gonna have to admit that right at the end, when he didn’t brake and just slammed into the guy, I was happy about it.

Also WTF is going on in Dallas

How do you get a stitching artifact that is fuzzy and indistinct on all sides, as opposed to distinct on one half and indistinct on the other? Maybe I’m missing something.

Edit: And has a lane marker overlaid awkwardly on top of an almost-car, in a way that is sensible 2d-pixel-wise but nonsense geometrically? That to me is an extremely specific tell of an AI artifact.

What? No it doesn’t.

Such a cynical take

I’m sure she’s motivated purely by his 92-year-old dick and his beautiful soul

Revealing editing drafts, reporter notes or other confidential materials to outside media erodes trust and undermines our culture of collaboration

FWIW, the union says that the claim that unpublished materials were leaked is bullshit.

Also, I greatly enjoyed the juxtaposition of the freakout over talking with outside media alongside:

(Several former veteran Times journalists told NPR they were taken aback by the turn of events.)

The signatures make me so happy

They are, for real and entirely with their whole souls, convinced that Trump did nothing wrong, Biden’s a crook who stole the election who’s going after him in a dangerous and undemocratic move almost akin to Putin’s, etc etc.

The people at the top, who are producing the extremely convincing propaganda which they consume, are guilty as sin and for-real should be in prison for it. But a lot – the majority, I think – of the people who buy into the propaganda, for as genuinely fucking dangerous as they are, aren’t actually doing anything wrong. (Aside from not being sharp enough to see that they’re getting suckered.)

I like the concept but AI clearly made this man’s pictures

(your) life is less important than (doing what I tell you)

It never applies in the same way to the people who are doing the telling. Only to the ones being told.

It is as I suspected

I saw your picture and now I envy your life

Cats don’t like having their water next to their food; if you separate the food and water dishes to different rooms, a lot of times they get more enthusiastic about the water in the dish.

Sometimes of course they are just little weirdos

Agreed
