  Admitting fault is good, offering a way to fix it is better. We should applaud that that recognise, admit and want to remedy their mistake.

  Someone else pointed out they’re a right wing “news” account. They won’t cringe. Most likely, they got the implication but are trying to deny it.

  This is one thing that irritates me about a tool I work with: It has built-in functions to calculate a median and to calculate an average, by which it means the arithmetic mean. I tend to use the median because the data I work with has severe outliers skewing the mean, but then I have to explain what that means (heh).

  Well, if they wear the flag, display the Swastika, do the salute or go on about white supremacy, that’s a pretty solid hint.

  A Nazi is (originally) a particular brand of fascism, but much like champagne, it has become a generic term for the whole family of ideologies. The “ur-fascist” definition by Umberto Eco, who was witness to the fascist regime of Mussolini, highlights a few key traits if fascist ideology like a cult of tradition, emphasis on machismo and action over thought, obedience over independence, contempt for pacifism and weakness and populism that leverages frustrations, conspiracy theories and fears to rally its followers against some perceived enemy.

  Not every trait is fascist on its own, but neither does some movement need to tick all boxes to be fascist. There’s sure to be some grey area, but if you have people rushing to inflict violence on anyone looking differently, spurred on by a guy promising to restore some ambiguous past glory by blaming the economic and social troubles on foreigners and beating the war drums… yeah, well, eventually the indicators start piling up.

  I think this is one of those cases where I ignore the providence of the image for the entertainment value.

  Certainly preferable to some other AI slop people produce.

  I also spent two weeks as a live-in cat sitter for a friend on vacation. He’d yell at me, and when I approached him, 1/5 times he’d lead me to his bowl. The other 4, he’d walk to the couch then look at me expectantly. If I laid down, he’d hop on my chest, then flop over into my arm and start purr-snoring within a minute.

  Hell Yeah

  I miss him. But it’s a good pain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make me feel like a man⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As protests go, I like this. More visible and tangible than sitting somewhere they’ll never go, but not really violent (at least not as violent as other things you could throw). I also liked the shoes that got lobbed at Bush for the symbolism.

  That’s the typical discrepancy between “definition of technical term” and “popular expectations evoked by term”. The textbook example used to be “theory”, but I guess AI is set to replace that job too…

  Have tissues ready, and I’m not talking about wanking. Well, maybe that too, but mostly because they’re really good at hitting emotional beats. It’s one of two games this year that had me in tears.

  The other is Goodnight Universe, which is very new and also very good, and it has a neat face tracking gimmick where some things require you to close your eyes or emote. It also works without and is still good (and you can obviously do the accompanied actions even without a cam to observe it).

  If we are serious about housing, why not remove the 55 million people here on immigration visas who occupy homes that could go to Americans who have worked, fought, and bled for this country?

  Correct me if I’m wrong, but how exactly are these immigrants making their living, if not by working (and, in places with lax safety rules, probably also bleeding) for a country that’s not even their own?
