I made this 5 and a half goddamn years ago and the only thing that's aged is a single use of the word "alleged." Very few journalists have taken my advice, but I appreciate those cogent few.

This footage shot by a tourist aboard Jacksonville Boat Charters near Amelia Island, Florida shows a leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea).
At 2000 lbs (900 kg) & 7 ft long (2.1 m) they're the largest turtles & indeed one of the heaviest extant reptiles on Earth.

‘Wicker’ stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5
Wildwood is good! I don't know why they put a terrible song in the trailer (it's not in the movie!) because it's pretty fantastic. Been a while since a new release scratched that epic fantasy itch. Surprisingly violent too, I actually have no idea if it's PG-13 or not. Anyway, I recommend.

I understand my opponent's beliefs perfectly, which is why I believe they should be deprived of all political and economic power by any means necessary.
Keep thinking about a post I saw that said something like, "The best way to understand your political opponents is to sit down at a table with them and have a conversation."
Yeah I did that and here's what I understand now: they swallow and regurgitate propaganda 24/7 and live in another dimension.
a lot of the older people i know think that hearing the other side out is like "listen to opposing views about municipal budget priorities" and don't seem to realise the other side has been eating horse paste and getting shingles on purpose
when I go to the bank for a business loan to start a business which I tell the loan officer explicitly is a scam business, this will be one of my cited examples of set precedent.
Watching the new season of Shark Tank and they managed to immediately become a parody of itself by having one of the pitches be Ball 2, the sequel to Ball, powered by AI. To really seal the deal, the ball 2's battery is not rechargeable or designed to be replaced.
No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Sitting there watching the voters he claims to represent get excited and motivated by Ossoff actually calling these fascists what they are and then telling us "but that's not what we need"
My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.
Statement from DOJ:
“Today in the Washington, D.C, area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation."
Any Democrat suggesting that there is any political mission other than bringing all elected Republicans to justice for their participation in an insurrectionist hate group needs to be booed and hissed without cease until they can be fired at the next available opportunity
Hey Democrats, Canada here. Let's be clear: there's no coming back from this that involves Sorkinsian compromise across the aisle. There IS a coming back from this that involves Nuremberg trials and extradition of cabinet members and a new constitution, but less than that isn't going to work.
I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...
I don't think companies realize this yet but going "complete AI game development" isn't giving "the future" it's giving "we're broke." Like y'all just don't want to pay wages.
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."

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.
Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible.
Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.
Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"
people keep making movies where the premise is "it's kind of like a man but it looks like a monstrous freak but it's nice and sexy and doesn't abuse the woman so it's basically the most romantic thing ever" and men keep not getting it.
Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes
Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.
