The butter passing robot realizing the scope of its existence. A small robot with a continuous track base, a small arm leading to a box head with a front facing camera lens, with two arms mounted to the sides of the box, the “hands” are simple flat metal pieces. It sits on a yellow table cloth. The back of Rick’s head is on the left side of the frame.
The ARE 5.0 Exam Review on a scrap white marble table. Things in the background. The colors of each section are visible on the page edges in a stepped pattern--each step some random but understandable measure of height.
The Souls of Acheron by Adolf Hiremy. I apologize, but you would likely be better served to look this up for a more precise description of this painting. I could never do it justice. Not even for the witch in the background. She deserves a tome. They all do.
The poster art for the movie To Live and Die in LA depicting a man standing to the left of a wide structural support to an overpass. An angled shadow cuts across his legs with the sunlight highlighting a metal briefcase the man is holding. The rest of him is in shadow but you can still make out he is wearing sunglasses. The background is a non-descriptive cityscape in orange with the title against a mountain backdrop and the sun rising behind it, clearly contradicting the lighting of the foreground.

An image from The Lighthouse (2019) by Robert Eggers. Thomas sits on the edge of his bed on the left and Ephraim sits on the floor, his back against his bed on the right. A light sits between them on the floor. Above it is a window with its two interior shutters open. The figures are dark edge lit against the white painted wood walls behind them.

Same photo as the original post but darkened, of a large group of people posing for the camera in a large classically appointed room. There are two groups, a smaller group in front, larger in back. The smaller group still spans the entire width of the mass of humans. One face is highlighted and enlarged in an inset. His expression is neither happy nor proud.

3 hours ago Megan Mineiro Congressional reporter "A senior Republican on the House Armed Services Committee said American "boots on the ground" would be a necessary step in the war against Iran. "I just don't see any other way," Representative Pat Fallon, Republican of Texas, who chairs the Military Personnel subcommittee, said in an interview with Fox News. He added: "We can't leave until the job is done." Once U.S. troops are deployed, he asserted, the Iranian "people are going to rise up and the I.R.G.C. is going to melt away," referring to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the [...]"

Ed Burmila OP: If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved. Karl: People need to really understand This is not hyperbole at all. The reality is the federal government no longer exists in its Democratic form or in any previous form in this countries history and the union no longer exists. Me: What purpose does this defeatist framing serve, though? To inspire what? Karl: This isn't defeatism at all. Please stop conflating reality with defeatism. Me: What purpose does this realist framing serve? What do you hope to inspire by telling people we've already lost? If there are battles still to be fought, why do you feel that this is the way to frame it? Karl: lol. Keep trying little dude Me: I don't know why you turned to trying to insult me. I am sincerely asking to understand a way forward. I respect your opinion and you clearly have broad and deep knowledge on the subject. And I am on your side. I want to know because I want to help and I don't think this framing helps with normies. Karl: lol you keep writing paragraphs like l'm listening to you. Me: Okay

My post: Well, libertarians are fucking idiots, so no surprise. QT shows: ! Blocked
from: @ironspike.bsky.social Post 1: A truth of modern... everything... is that "luxury" is conceptually fuckin' fake, but pushed by builders and manufacturers because it allows them to charge exponentially more for labor and materials that are only nominally more expensive (if that) than what building for midsized budgets would cost. Post 2: Kim Kardashian's house is also (likely) wood-framed, packed with fiberglass insulation, and finished in plasterboard and paint from Home Depot. Just like yours. It doesn't take more know-how or connections to build that. But append LUXURY to the builder's name, and they can quadruple the price. Post 3: This why every condo project, subdivision, mall, apartment block going up or being reno'ed calls itself "luxury." For the price bump. They're very likely not doing anything materially different than if they were building normal houses.
from @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social Post 1: One of my followers who is a military mom has a 23 year old kid who was a part of the raid and kidnapping in Venezuela. She says that the pressure on the kids to carry out orders that they knew were wrong was overwhelming. The screenshot post: Military mom here. My kid was involved in this. You have no idea the pressure they were under by their CO. Disobedience was not an option. Either do your job or get arrested. Kid is only 23. Post 2: Lotta people seem to think that had they been a 23 year old enlisted trained to follow orders or die, they would have had the balls to stand up to a Commanding Officer while deployed in Venezuela with the full weight of the US military bearing down and the threat of arrest and incarceration. Hmmm.

"The creative arts community is experiencing a deep sense of disruption and vulnerability in response to the rapid rise of generative Al. These concerns are legitimate and, for many, unsettling. When tech companies began developing large language models, original creative works were used without permission to train the very systems that are now threatening creators' livelihoods, authorship, and ownership. That breach of trust is real and unresolved. It also can't be undone, which means creatives and the industries that support them must think strategically about how this technology shapes both risk and opportunity going forward while also continuing to fight for fair compensation for their work (which, again, was used without permission)."

Nevertheless... "I saw her on TV, where she was talking. I thought, 'Oh, she's kind of good-looking: And she's athletic. She goes to the gym, and she's just looking terrific. Wow. So a kind of tough-looking blonde, you know? A shiksa from the South. Wow. I started getting the hots for her. Wow. And I thought I could change Marjorie Taylor Greene. I could, you know, if I was involved, I could raise her consciousness and convert her to something more like an ethical state of mind and become a better person as well as, you know, having a good time with her." I thought for a moment, on hearing this astonishing news, that we might be lucky enough to expect a new Reactionary Girl comic starring MTG following in the sleazy footsteps of Lenore Goldberg: Girl Commando, Honeybunch Kaminski, Devil Girl, and the other Crumb Amazons. "I thought about that, but I don't want to get in trouble," he says. "Who knows what kind of nasty shit she'd be capable of? Who knows? Nasty. She's nasty. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Great-looking, though. Boy, what a body! Wow. Tough. Tough body!"
