I know @voiceofkosh.bsky.social is as excited as I am for another Sad Wizard Tale.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but in the American justice system, District Attorneys and Attorneys General are the top law enforcement officials in their jurisdictions. They work hand-in-glove with law enforcement, and they are distinctly disincentivized to lodge charges against officers.

That guy the New York Times felt you needed to hear from today.

So, remember when folks thought there was consensus that Nixon style imperial presidencies were bad? There are Republicans who have wanted to go back to that since the 1970s. Today, they got their wish.

Do you like gladiator movies, @michaelchu7.bsky.social?

Hot take: Warhammer 40,000 Orks only understand gender roles secondhand from encountering species that have them. Things like "Boyz" and "Ladz" as well as he/him pronouns are all loanwords to them. Feral orks very likely don't even go this far, having had no meaningful contact with other cultures.

I did a LOT of cutting and gap filling to pull this conversion off. #WarhammerCommunity

Remember when the Times made a commitment to keep all COVID-19 coverage free to read?

While I am not exactly Biden's biggest fan, I would argue that Thomas Friedman is nobody's friend.

I wish people writing article titles and ledes would stop pretending like the Tesla Cybertaxi actually exists.

Is this the Tesla robotaxi killer? Meet the 'Verne.'finance.yahoo.com Watch out Elon Musk. there’s another robotaxi play in town, and it’s backed by a highly-regarded name in the business of EVs.

These guys were on the Gettysburg leg of their journey this morning, which meant I saw a BUNCH of them on the highway. Closest dang thing I've ever seen to an IRL Wacky Races. Way cooler than the usual scrum-of-Teslas I get cursed with: www.greatrace.com/2024-route

I don't think I know anyone who is as sublime a mixture of "Nicest person you know" and "Can totally destroy you" as @kathryntewson.bsky.social.

Add this to the list of tragedies resulting from the big push for generative AI: Neural networks and machine learning had genuine, useful purposes well before the plagiarism engines that destroy creativity and jobs. And when the generative AI bubble bursts, it will be nigh-impossible to fund those

You can't fool me, the new AoS character is just @frostfyre.bsky.social.

Sometimes I just feel woefully ill-equipped for The Discourse.

I feel like I need a @mikebrooks668.bsky.social Necromunda novel set in Hive Secundus where nobody trusts anyone anymore and they're all very tired.

@danshive.bsky.social just having Susan and Jay locked into a collision course as Pride kicks off.

If you're covering a dad rock song that has an actual accordion part, there is a natural choice who is apparently down to clown. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve6R...

Looking at their acting credits, it does seem like Avery Brooks and Keith David got to rub shoulders a few times during their careers, but it seems a genuine shame they haven't gotten to do so more. They've got a lot in common! Both classically trained, both avid singers.

Folks, this is not how you enjoy George Miller films.

I feel like it's going to be a lot harder to convince people to pay for a hybrid print periodical and paywalled news website if you no longer have real people writing it. Maybe it's just me? futurism.com/washington-p...

The Washington Post Tells Staff It’s Pivoting to AIfuturism.com The Washington Post's new-ish CEO has announced that the newspaper will be pivoting to artificial intelligence to turn sales around.

I wish to inform you that Tatsuya Ishida is close to assuming his final form. As such, he has changed his One Joke.

Normalize knowing the names of all your friends' pets.

A snapshot of my time in the hobby. #WarhammerCommunity

Furiosa did a neat magic trick in casting Chris Hemsworth. Dementus is very much a subversion of Hemsworth's popular image. He's a legend in his own mind. He's somewhat grasped that the Wasteland is full of these dramatic names and larger than life personae, so he's set out to write his own myth.

Accusing people of "posthumously applying contemporary ideas to people" because they're saying Claude Cahun had some thoughts on gender seems pretty ahistorical!

Have I mentioned how much I love the new plastic Contemptor? #WarhammerCommunity
