From what I've seen network news orgs in the US are giving the coronation the same lockstep but not very deeply felt hype they'd accord the premier of a particularly big Marvel movie.
Meanwhile everyone in the UK I follow sounds like Christopher Eccleston lmao

If you feel the urge to explain to president #Biden that AI CEOs are the wrong people to talk with about #AI #ethics [1], I want you to understand that the president is not clueless. The real reason for such meetings is always this: "If voters get mad enough for us to have to regulate you, please tell us how we can do that without endangering your profits."
Same as Comcast were experts on net neutrality and Disney were experts on copyright.

Mastodon FeedDamn... I didn't think QuarkXpress got so horrible.. o_O Or at least it seems, from what I could gather from my research.. Just the promotional video alone is just... :baduk:

Yeah, it's from 2020, but so many "features" are like basic things I'd expect from a DTP program. 🙃

It's got her handwritten notes in it. It's hers.

ugh I just found out my local library has a "power user" program that comes with a special card and bragging rights when you hit 2500 checkouts and now I will not know peace until I achieve this goal

- Screenshot from Brooklyn Public Library site: Brooklyn Public Library Power User Program Are you a dedicated library user? Cardholders who have borrowed more than 2,500 items* from BPL are invited to join our Power User program. In the future, we hope to expand Power User status to those who check out the most eBooks or digital audio books, most use our computers, and attend the most public programs and events. What do Power Users get? A silver Power User library card, bragging rights, and some special gifts! (remote)

This would freak me out too 😳
On a modern yacht in the middle of the ocean with a broken rudder, send out a call for help, then out of the misty past THIS, the Götheborg out of Sweden, comes to rescues you ... Wow!
[The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the XVIII century. This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it?]
What a beautiful ship 😍

I got called out for wearing a mask today. "The pandemic is over!" they said.
"Great," I said. "Let me know when age-related vulnerabilities to respiratory diseases are over."
They didn't instantly bow down and recognize my wisdom. My grey hairs mean nothing.

Secondly, it's amazing how reliably you can tell a channel has shit politics based on whether or not their videos take that outrage bait tone.
Sure enough, that account had a bunch of shit in their uploads whining about diversity. I wish youtube had a firmer Block functionality but at least with "do not recommned" I can be sure that I'm never going to accidentally see something from that account again

Anyway I use "don't recommend channel" pretty aggressively on that site and it's made for a mostly pleasant experience.
Just now I got a rec for a video that was like, "Remember when Pokemon games were ACTUALLY GOOD?"
First off, I've been playing Pokemon games since before Red/Blue were released in the US, and last year I completed an exhaustive playthrough of every mainline game, so no, I don't.
