One of my favorite days on the calendar: the blessing of the animals, for the Feast of Saint Francis. We welcome any spiritual nourishment for our dog, who peed and pooed on the church lawn. His friend Honeybee tried to bite the priest, though - thrilling not to have the worst behaved animal.

"If the AI bubble has indeed begun to pop" - bro do you know how bubbles work, what pop means

NBC News@nbcnews.com

If the AI bubble has indeed begun to pop, a class of companies known as the neoclouds might be to blame. Sometimes referred to as the middlemen of AI, neoclouds primarily rent out access to the specialized computer chips, or GPUs, that help power behemoths like Amazon, Meta and Microsoft.

You’re gonna want to see what the BlueSky guys have decided is too intolerant for you to read.

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Nothing says self-confident like serially talking about how self-confident you are, how you have SO MUCH self-confidence, do you see? Do you see how self-confident I am? DO YOU? Also, how does my ass look, good, right?

Many people are saying, with tears in their eyes, "She's might mighty, letting it all hang out." Am I right, folks?

Barack Hussein Obama never won a made-up Man of the Century Award, check and mate, losers

Roman Sheremeta@rshereme.bsky.social

Trump received a made up "Man of the Century Award" during a Republican campaign rally in Iowa. The award was invented by Joe Mitchell, a Republican congressional candidate. Mitchell made up the awarded and introduced the recognition himself.

It’s thrilling how she checks her notes to make sure she gets the location right. Katie Zacharia’s album didn’t sell a lot of copies, but everyone who bought one became a C+ fascist.

This new electoral vídeo from Pedro Sánchez is quite something. Standing in front of Guernica defending the anti-war stance of his government, limiting military expenditure, denouncing the atrocity of Gaza. English subtitles.

The one possible flaw in the greatest film of all time, GoodFellas, is that it does not get into the carnage of Henry Hill and BC point shaving. KAREN, WHY DID YOU BET THE OVER?!?!?!?

I'm not naive enough to think that we're going to eliminate gambling. But it should be stickier to do so, and have a scuzzy and shameful air to it, like a trip to OTB or Branson, Missouri.

Obviously total bullshit, but I do like that the story they're going with is that Melania has (professionally, anyway) cucked Jared and Marco.

Exclusive Senior Advisor to First Lady Melania Trump Marc Beckman: "Yesterday she single-handedly brokered a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine"

It's extremely weird to me that Paul Annacone, Taylor Fritz's coach, is a broadcaster for one of Fritz's matches. The broadcast isn't hiding the fact, and there's no pretense of neutrality. But does anyone think we're getting Annacone's full candor? Is Annacone the only available analyst? #tennis

The whole history of movies is available to us in a way that would have been unimaginable.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
