hearing that zoomers are learning about the Access Hollywood tape via TikTok. They were as young as 10 when it originally dropped.

I feel like there has been some kind of monumental structural failure in how news media works

Devastating scenes of piled-up cars in #Valencia, #Spain today after yesterday’s historic flooding. A year’s worth of rain fell in a few hours with a peak of 500mm.

plea to vote, just let me make this one pitch, uspol 

This isn't about lesser evil. We're already boiling frogs voting on whether the burner should be set to max.

Democrats are parasites feeding off your desperation, and it works because the leverage is real, and they're more willing to let society collapse than compromise the injustice of America. This state of affairs is actionable. That's the leverage.

He is a literal actual nazi.

Dead frogs can't stop the boiling.

Just got off the phone with Warner Bros. They're telling me they can't make any more Harry Potters. Not after the owl ate Harry Potter (second largest owl in the world)

for FUCK'S SAKE

Truchet tiles spotted

They did this cool thing where there was one area of the walkway tiles with the chaotic/aperiodic Truchet tiles, and another area tiled with one repeating tile that formed a complete unbroken picture with the Truchet tiles but were themselves totally regular, so it was like this rough border with order on one side and chaos on the other

This is still in the park around the Tower of the Sun. Every individual little part of this place had so much care and thought put in it

@mcc I love when places put in fun tiles, like this wonderful pentagonal plaza in Stockholm

YOU CANNOT GRIND THE BONES OF YOUR ENEMIES INTO DUST TOMORROW IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.

Now that tech industry invents terms like "prompt engineering" (supposedly, you must know how to ask bot a question) which is an insult to engineering as such to begin with, that very term defeats entire purpose of Large Language Models - interacting with bot using natural language you'd normally use. If you have to "engineer" your prompts, that means LLMs already failed to deliver :this_is_fine:
