Ghost Palm Technique

Judging by social media, I live in an anti-Carolingian society. There are so many people who somehow know how to write but not how to read.

There should be research into whether synthetic CSAM images are a substitute or a complement for actual child sexual abuse, because if it's the former, then banning them is a catastrophic policy error.

Just realized the Polar Frost vitamin waters that I have occasionally been substituting for my Sparkling Ice at lunch are caffeinated. No wonder my sleep has been crappy lately.

I get the impression that the tempo of"Curtains for Zoosha" events is accelerating a la Kaiju emerging in Pacific Rim.

My daughter was complaining about her foreign language homework and how everything just sounds like a stream of gibberish, so I got to introduce her to the "what English sounds like to non-English speakers" song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RObu...

I am apparently not the first person to notice this, but with Guilfoyle back in the news, I realized today that what Mar a Lago face reminds me of is the plastic surgeon in Escape from L.A.

I gather that finding new press secretaries using the iterative cloning process from Multiplicity is going well.

Alban Viard double-feature, and another personal best at 84, despite Godzilla making his debut appearance in Samll City. #boardgames

65 HP in Tramways, a personal record. Also, Alban Viard's scale for evaluating solo play is trolling. #boardgames

i don't want a unifying Dem who promises to return to good government. i want an angel of death who promises the government the reconstruction amendments promise.

I am definitely improving at Fights in Tight Spaces. #FiTS #videogames

I cannot help but notice that leftist groups do not, for the most part, demand that all lefty Catholics only attend churches that dissent from the teachings of the Church hierarchy on abortion and queer rights. They broadly understand that sometimes one has a cultural link to people with bad views.

With most information hidden, the game Stratego had stumped AI—until now The AI, called Ataraxos, beat Pim Niemeijer, arguably the best Stratego player of all time, 15 games to one, with four draws. And it took just 16 GPUs and a few thousand dollars to train it.

I don't understand why some people think "acknowledging the historical fact that Eretz Yisrael is the ancestral homeland of the Jews" logically implies "Israel's actions are legitimate." It doesn't! You don't have to make ahistorical claims to oppose Israel's genocide!

Rothko's basilisk.

My observation on Talarico discourse is that more people should familiarize themselves with Jimmy Carter's campaign for governor of Georgia (and the contrast btw campaign rhetoric in a red state and how he actually governed).

LOL, I got an achievement in FiTS I didn't even know was a thing, for hitting a guy standing in front of the dartboard with a stun dart. The view wss rotated such that I didn't even know there *was* a dartboard.

Unfortunately for my wallet, Bailiff of Boscoop was excellent. Pre-ordered immediately after playing a pre-production copy. #boardgames

I didn't quite win my first play of Jon Company 2 thanks to an unfortunate random flcompany failure card, 14-(13)-12-7-2, but I did basically bankrupt both of the latter two players in separate incidents, which was arguably more satisfying. #boardgames

@bluepegpinkpeg.bsky.social Spyrium rhymes with Mysterium, not with Skyrim.

Yesterday I had what for me is an almost unheard-of experience -- I bought something because I randomly saw an advertisement for it. Granted, I had already been planning to buy some linen shirts, but I encountered these specific items by chance (work computer; so not my phone spying on me).

Didn't realize I could do that one, too. Lived = 1+ years; Stayed = 1 month or more at a time; visited = went somewhere other than the airport or stops along the highway.

I needed a break from StS2 and was testing other new video game possibilities. I am really enjoying Fights in Tight Spaces, which mixes roguelike deckbuilding with the positional tactics (and occasional defenestration) of Tactical Breach Wizards.

whereidlive.com/s/8zaacwf9 (TX and MN are just the airport.) If I were to do foreign countries, I'd have (not counting USA) one lived in, one stayed a while, three visited, and one passed through, but I haven't gotten west much.

I've never had a blue-collar job, and yet I have never had any insecurities about this. You can lift things at the gym; you don't have to do it at work.

Why do paper medical bills make it so hard to find the website address for online payments? Do you like creating extra work for your accounts receivable office?

Playing Codenames Duet with my (20yo, to be clear) daughter and deciding whether to give the clue "Smash 2" (for Hit and Pop) or go After Dark mode and say "Smash 3" (for Hit, Pop, and Rail)...

curing sickle cell is more important but God I would love gene therapy to give me the Tyr362His short sleep variant

I am unlikely to ever run for office, and contemporary Americans don't really go for classically-inflected rhetoric anyway, but this was still a banger www.tumblr.com/ghostpalmtec...

I final managed to get a set of Andor S2 on disc. (I do not now and have never been willing to pay for streaming services other than Netflix and incidental Amazon Prime Video.) And, naturally, there is a huge crack in disc 1.

Much better than any of the other dyslexia or OCD jokes I've ever seen.

I'm sorry, but Stepford Home Health Aide just does not have the same appeal as Manic Succubus Dream Girl.

If the phrase "sex pervert" has ever struck you as redundant, please know that my dog has a habit of eating women's (and only women's) underwear, thus establishing the category of "dietary pervert".

I would like the next Democratic administration to designate me as a sexy murder bureaucrat. In return, some of you can also be basically pleasant poets, as a treat.

Gonna be real with you, horse bot. I don't think that's their problem.

I was years ahead of this website. (She does look hot again in the tattoo photos. So does Cherenkov radiation, and you shouldn't bring your dick anywhere near that, either.)

I had no idea civilian exo-suits already existed.
