"It's harder to pick it up from Trump sometimes because he's so loud and has been doing this for years, so we may be numb to it," he added. "There is a new focus here about his mental capability and fitness for office — certainly one that Democrats are pointing to. These mistakes, the mix-ups are seemingly only increasing by the day."

We are almost numb…? Well, I'm not. But I don't watch tv news and rarely see this asshole speak. I just read about it.

Cell phone companies design their phones to look good on TV when held that way and people who watch TV start doing that because all the cool people do it. And so forth.

I strongly disagree with this. They're designed to look good no matter what. TV is an afterthought in the design of smartphones. But what do I know… I only worked on one of those projects.

Language evolves, yes, and here's another chance to recommend an incredible book for language nerds: Highly Irregular: Why Tough, Through, and Dough Don't Rhyme and Other Oddities of the English Language

But "enshitification" refers to a very specific cultural trend. The Ship of Theseus is someone trying to sound smart. These are not the same thing, even if some asshole tries to sound smart talking about the former. Others who are industry-enthusiasts use it as a shorthand for a very specific larger conversation.

Fucking bullshit society we made for ourselves…

Yes, but more accurately, those who came before us made for us. Not that we're doing a bang-up job at reversing the trend.

Damn. That really drives it home at another level.

We also need to subtract 18 years from the average life expectancy of USA citizens and disenfranchise the elderly. They should have no say on long-term issues that they won't live to regret.

Also, I guarantee we'll see proper funding for health care when they want to keep expressing their preferences a little longer.

"You know what's disappointing to me? You can't bring yourself to say don't support UNWRA, you don't support Hamas, you don't support Hezbollah and you don't support Iran. You should hide your head in a bag," he concluded, to gasps and yells from the audience.

What an asshole.

Asked by Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, D-Ill., whether she had anything she wanted to say after the Kennedy exchange, Berry said, "It's regrettable that I, as I sit here, have experienced the very issue that we're attempting to deal with today.

You go, lady. You're a badass.

Don't worry everybody. It's South Carolina, so there's no chance they won't execute him. Gdi.

“This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me,” Robinson said. Presented with the litany of evidence connecting him with the minisoldr user name on Nude Africa, Robinson said, “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.”

I can explain it, I work on the campaign as a media adviser.

See, the flux capacitor is the key. You drive this car up to 88mph and then bam! CNN's reporters go back in time, ten years into the past, to manufacture this account. They keep living in the past for years, posting the fraudulent "evidence" that Mr Robinson is anything but the wonderful, kind, caring individual that he is. Zip back forward in time and write this article to slander Mr Robinson and try to pretend that they didn't make the whole thing up.

Gotcha! Your move, CNN.

As it should. They bring so much value. /s

It's possible that Kohls' concerns about AB 2839 are unwarranted. Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon told Politico that Kohls' parody label on X was good enough to clear him of liability under the law.

Lustery’s announcement says the company’s new contract clause was inspired by recent agreements between Hollywood studios and two unions, the Writers Guild of America and the actors’ union SAG-AFTRA, which introduced limitations last year on how studios can use AI for scriptwriting and for generating performances.

Both Wiens and MG said a supply-chain attack in which a remote-triggered explosive was surreptitiously placed into the pagers before they were distributed is more likely. There is precedent for this: in 1996, Israel put a bomb inside of a cell phone and used it to kill Yahya Ayyash, who was then a bomb maker for Hamas.

Snapchat is reserving the right to put its users’ faces in ads, according to terms of service related to its “My Selfie” tool (formerly “AI Selfies”), which allows users and their friends to create AI-generated images trained on their selfies.

Users have the option to opt out of this by toggling off a “feature” in the app called “See My Selfie in Ads,” but according to 404 Media’s testing this feature is on by default.

For most people, an extinct species is an abstraction, a set of bones they might have seen on display in a museum. For Gennady Boeskorov, they are things he has interacted with directly, studying their fur, their skin, their internal organs—experiencing these animals much as they existed thousands of years ago. Some of the well-preserved Pleistocene animals he has worked with include the mummified remains of woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius), an extinct form of rabbit (Lepus tanaiticus), and cave lion cubs (Panthera spelaea).

His latest paper also makes it clear that woolly rhinoceroses belong on this list. Boeskorov is a senior researcher at the Diamond and Precious Metals Geology Institute, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as a professor at the North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk. This July, he and his colleagues described the relatively recent discovery of three woolly rhinoceros mummies, one of which is new to science, in a paper published in the journal Doklady Earth Sciences.

They finally busted him. Russell Laiosa. I know the NY Post is a rag, but it's the first article I found confirming an arrest.

I hadn't been to the Pirate Bay in quite some time. I occasionally pop over to look for old videos. I went today and a big popover for a dubious software upgrade came up. Then, another saying that my system is infected and offering to clean it. That's obviously fake, but it was blocking my access to the user interface so I wasn't able to complete my search. Closed it. That's unfortunate.
