Headline: The Hellsite Asshat Is Getting Better at the Whole Oligarchy Thing

Me: Is it any wonder people say "Eat the rich"? At the very least, I wish we'd tax them more. A lot more.

#PPOD: In 1972, Apollo 17 entered lunar orbit. Astronaut Gene Cernan: “It is absolutely spectacular looking at that Command Module, America...we’re just tracking him at about a 30-degree dive angle. I can even see Poppie [crater], right where we’re going to set this baby down!" And they did! Credit: NASA

A public defender defeated a 25-year incumbent and is now set to join the council that vets judges in Massachusetts.

She says she's keen to push for change. “We’ve got to make sure that we have judges who are ready, willing and able to tackle systemic racism.” boltsmag.org/massachusetts-jud…

“Valheim - Do I Still Need Real Life?” ~ Jack Sather

Yes. Yes you do.

But this video does explain #Valheim without spoilers, and why I’ve been playing it pretty much anytime I have some free time for games.

It’s from an indie studio that had only 5 developers when the game launched into early access, and hit 5 million installs within a week. It’s made with Unity and is available for Windiz, Mac, and Linux. It just about runs on any potato PC too, not requiring a huge graphics card just to run it.

There’s a demo to try out, it’s only about $20, and a lot of fun to play co-op with family and friends.

@Valheim is even on Mastodon!

@heluecht @crossgolf_rebel Das hier ist dann aber eine ganz andere Nummer, als die verifizierte Hinrichtung per einzeln präpariertem Mobiltelefon. Eine ganze Ladung Pager abzufangen und mit Semtex (oder ähnlichem) zu füllen, ohne zu wissen, bei wem genau die eigentlich landen werden, wäre an Unverantwortlichkeit kaum zu überbieten. Und gleichzeitig ein Garant dafür, daß sich Israels Kriegskabinett vor unerwartetem Frieden erst einmal keine Sorgen machen muss.

@heluecht @Gernotti @crossgolf_rebel die können aber auch zuhause bei ihrer Familie essen oder im Supermarkt einkaufen gewesen sein , oder ähnliches.
Ich weiß, im Vergleich zu anderen Kollateralschäden in diesem Krieg überschaubar, aber eben doch vorhanden.

The AAMI report highlights the dangers of the Bruce Hwy. Also, we Queenslanders tend to tailgate. The nose to tail incidents contribute 25% to overall accidents, particularly amongst us blokes. #qldpol

If you're a Queensland bloke driving with Queensland women passengers & they tell you you're following too closely, they are correct. Slow it down.





Humanity at its absolute finest is a passenger on the Voyager spacecraft.

Such a stunning achievement, and it's gotten more and more so over the decades.

California is America’s take on EU regulators with its own version of the GDPR in CCPA and now its miniature versions of the AI Act.

It’s passed laws requiring Hollywood to get consent from living actors or the estates of deceased ones before creating AI clones of actors.

New laws also require social media platforms to provide mechanisms for report and takedown of election related deepfakes as well as requiring disclosure of AI generated content in political ads.

Trump & Musk must be fuming

your whole second para can be tl;dr as ‘incumbents self-protect…’
in reply to Dare Obasanjo

Just political ads? Honestly the way I'd go about it is more broad, perhaps having a lower standard for awarding civil penalties for defamation if realistic-looking AI generated content was used to mislead.
