Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

out, bye

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

ENCYCLOPEDIA - Your mangled brain would like you to know there is a boxer called Contact Mike. YOU - Yeah? Any news on my wife's name? How about my mother? ENCYCLOPEDIA - Nope.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Telling the Pope he can't talk about AI because he's not an "artist" like you is so fucking funny. You're not an AI artist, you didn't art anything. You serially commission visual files from a chatbot. You're like the dumbest Pope Julius III working with the worst fake Michelangelo there is.

This story is great but man I am laughing at how much this guy looks like Michael McDonald - did any other genes even make it in? If you told me that he’d been the result of asexual reproduction by Michael McDonald I’d believe you

every new detail about GTA 6 is like “you can have pets, the pets can get realistic diseases and die. if you forget to change your hamster’s wood shavings, it will die from listeria. you can choose from 17 different methods of disposing the hamster corpse, all with their own unique animations”

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

the key art for this movie makes it look like “EDM Festival: The Animated Movie” which is sadly a pitch I would crawl across broken glass to avoid

DreamWorks’ 'Forgotten Island' is one of the year's best-reviewed films and received stellar audience scores. Sadly, that wasn't enough to get people into theaters. The original animated feature opened to just $12.8M domestically and $20.65M worldwide. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

"The agency waived a Congressionally mandated 25% cap on foreign broadcast ownership to allow a trio of Middle East sovereign wealth funds, from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, to own 49.5% of the merged company."

fine with this, tbh

🚨NEWS: So this is totally crazy. A Republican candidate in Texas is sending texts that say "Attachment: $5,000 Check … Pres. Trump just authorized it," and a link to the "portal" to get the money goes to a fundraising page for him to pay off a personal loan he made to the campaign!

if any celebrity thinks they don’t have enough clout to make a real difference, please observe that a D-list white rapper made one speech at one concert and we’re already seeing tangible results

The Irish musician Aaron Rowe has said he is withdrawing as a support act on Ed Sheeran’s tour.

extremely funny that Ed Sheeran has been named in three separate lawsuits accusing him of ripping off someone else’s song, not because he definitely did, but because every one of his songs sounds like a thousand other dogshit songs you’ve heard while selecting toothpaste at CVS
