I was watching some of my native plants and noticed a fair amount of house flies crawling on them. So, I looked it up. It turns out that flies as a group are the second most important pollinator behind bees as a group.

Okay, but European honeybees in the US aren’t exactly new afaik. That would be like if all of the sudden, 80% of wild horses up and die and the answer is “well, they’re an introduced species, so it only makes sense”.

Only if you’re rich. I doubt these fuck sticks are going after rich people

If they corner anyone, tbh. This is a pretty ruinous accusation.

I’m convinced that this is it. There’s a dual track effort to defang leftists through first heavily propagandizing the success of “pure” non-violent movements by removing them from their context, then by aggressively stamping out the groups that move past that. The first part is why you see so many people saying “well, why don’t we just march again and wave more signs?” The state has done a very, very, very good job of convincing people that peaceful assembly without the threat of unpeaceful assembly behind it means a goddamn thing.

I shit, I didn’t know Madoff died

Can someone do a Ghibli of Luigi?

And throwing. “Well, at least they’re over there. If they come closer, I’ll fuck them up.”

… “Did they just yell ‘Heads up, shitass’? What the fuck, is that A FLYING ROCK”

Oh, I can’t believe it’s really him! Doug Forcette! Well, if anyone knows, it’s this guy.

Boeing (and McDonnell Douglas before them) actually made good planes when engineers ran the show. Then, the finance bros took over.

The post-Reagan GOP has only ever been about more government, more police, more fascism. She’s fallen for the classic blunder of assuming that fascists ever argue in good faith. They don’t give a shit that they talk about being the party of small government and yet can’t wait to use techno-feudalism to make sure that gay people aren’t secretly having sex. They’re not arguing for small government in good faith and never have done.

This is sad. This does not spark joy. We’re months from someone using “but look, ChatGPT says…” To try to win an argument. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life explaining to people that LLMs are really fancy bullshit generator toys.

Can’t be, I don’t see shrimp jesus

Also, they’re all looking through him, not at him. Plus, in a real picture, not everyone’s looking at the same thing always. The composition is also nonsense when you think about it. Dude is way off from the truck, by himself, stacking eggs on a table surrounded by a crowd of old people. That is not how aid distribution works.

Also, related to composition, someone once mentioned that AI images always look overcooked because it doesn’t know when or how to stop cramming in more detail, and I find that to be pretty true. It’s really hard- but possible- to get it to make an image that isn’t just over-detailed to death.

Checked out the site on mobile, and it was unresponsive to any of my clicks.

I think their regs, while seemingly very basic rules of the road, are based because I live in the US and we have bike lanes here that just whole ass turn into turn lanes with almost no warning. I wish we could get basic decency for everyone on the road, too.

Wow

I mean… I know I should be mad about it, but it’s just a master stroke.
