It's clear Fetterman doesn't care what the people of Pennsylvania want, but constituents should still let him know that they won't forgive him for supporting Trump's pick for DHS secretary.

If Fetterman wants to work for Trump, he should take a job with the regime. Pennsylvania would be better off.

From Monday: Talarico—whose central message is that it’s about not left versus right, but top versus bottom—is going to have to meaningfully engage with and accept the critiques of Black voters and politicos and give those voters substantive policy that renders them as seen, full humans with separate, unique concerns that white voters do not have. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-talarico-crockett-influencer-class-problem/

I honestly cannot tell if Herr Trump was lying or just is not capable of paying attention or absorbing briefing.

'An Israeli strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field was coordinated with the Trump administration in advance, according to three Israeli officials, despite President Trump’s assertion that the United States “knew nothing about” it.'

Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in #Ukrainian hands.

During the war, human trafficking has become more common. #Ukrainians who flee the country for safety are more likely to be lured into danger.

Nan Pierce decided to sell her liberal media empire to the highest right-wing bidder before the Roy kids even landed on her helipad.

Not to save democracy, not to preserve journalism's integrity, but to further enrich herself; to close the deal before her company loses any more value. So, she puts on a show— for her daughter, her political adversaries, for herself.

In s4e1 "The Munsters," Nan Pierce feigns agony over the billion-dollar bidding war unfolding in her sunroom. It is my favorite bit of Nan-Theatre of the series:

"Oh, I don’t like this. It makes me feel like I’m in the middle of a bidding war. Horrible. Different people saying different numbers. Eight, nine. What’s next?"

Choosing Roman to clock Nan for her bullshit is perfect:

Roman and Shiv sitting on a couch. Roman: "it's so confusing. What comes after nine? Nine B?

Okay, as much as I enjoyed the Ember heated mug I bought some years back when I was more willing to spend frivolously, I kind of like the $22 mug warmer plate I bought as a “replacement” even more.

A reddish-brown coffee mug sitting on a small, round mug warming plate, which has a black top and wooden sides. It’s sitting on a wooden desk in front of a speaker.

c code really does seem to resist any attempts to model it as proper data.

compilers ironically have less of a problem because they can work on the macro-resolved language and build for a single target.

I do not use AI at all, at any stage of writing my books. I have the &udm=14 code in my search engine so I don't even use it for research.

#AI #creative #writing #ttrpg #rpg #GameDev #art #artist

"I think that until the bubble bursts, AI will be used by quite a few game companies, and perhaps even beyond the bubble," says Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games, which released the RPG Demonschool last year. "Look, I am not a fool — I understand that AI has some uses. Primary among those being the devaluing of work, the cheapening of labour, the laying off of creatives, and the generation of busywork for humans to fix whatever AI generates." "It's also useful for burning through water, raising the prices of RAM and chipsets globally, and poisoning anyone near the data centres that run them. So there are a lot of use cases for AI. From spurring on the death of the creative endeavour to dissolving our economy, AI is absolutely gangbusters at what it does. We don't use it in our studio though."
