I'd be willing to bet that only media pundits like them are still concerned about Biden's age/health. The SOTUS and it's rulings is what we're concerned about, now.

I wonder if that guy realizes how much he sounds like the kind of things Mao Zedong and Hitler used to say about artists?

After the Supreme Court's "immunity" ruling, Biden's age is the absolute least of my worries.

I keep coming back to these over and over. They are so captivating.

The more I think about it, the crazier the SCOTUS ruling gets: Biden can now ignore the Supreme Court! Their recent gutting of regulations? Biden can order them meaningless. Hello health care reform, Reproductive Freedom, Student Debt Relief, Gun Safety or whatever! And the Supreme Court did it!

Regardless of how you feel about Mark Hammill, do you agree that we need to turn out in massive numbers to vote against not just Don the con, but also against every Republican enabler?

On the plus side, their ruling means that Biden *can* order Donny's arrest, and have him shipped to Guantanamo or whatever...

I'd bet almost anything there's a venture capital group at the root of this.

It's been a long time since I just fooled around with texturing effects and filters. Almost forgot how fun it can be. No AI.

They say this, but they don't want you asking if their system is so "smart" why do they still have to rely on thousands of humans tagging the data they "train" it on?

Wow, I live most of my life barefoot, and somehow I had no idea there were barefoot activists out there. Crazy.

That's the part about moving I like the most, when everything has potential, and you haven't pulled too many muscles trying to move stuff, yet.

Thank you for posting this! Where I live I can't have a garden, so experiencing yours fills the gap (and your garden is much nicer than mine ever was)

You never know what impact your words may have over time, though. I can personally count several people who used to disagree with me about various issues years ago, who now repeat the exact phases I used to argue with them. Just because it doesn't change anything now doesn't mean it won't ever.

I'm continually amazed at how Thomas and the other newer "conservative" justices somehow make Scalia look better. Unbelievable.

Deplatforming is out of favor in Silicon Valley. But it works.

A new study in Nature finds that Twitter's mass suspension of 70,000 QAnon-linked accounts after Jan. 6 meaningfully reduced the overall circulation of fake and hyperpartisan news on the platform. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I have quit using Adobe products for that very reason, and I have been using them since the late 1990's. I work in the printing industry, who's yoked themselves so closely to Adobe they'll probably never been able to leave, alas.

You're absolutely correct. They are ALL using cheap labor in places like India and Africa to do the tagging/labeling of the data for "training" their software. It's very exploitative, and they are heavily misrepresenting what their "AI" can actually do.

None of the media that ran this story issued a correction. They're the ones who should be ashamed.

I really liked it as well, it felt like it had everything I needed from a Godzilla flick.
