Here is the alt-text description for the image:
The image is a four-panel cartoon making a joke about simulation theory. In the first panel, two men are at a kitchen counter with fast food. The man on the left is saying "All I'm saying is that we could be living in one big simulation!" In the second panel, the same two men are at the kitchen counter with fast food and the man on the left is saying "This is all just some crazy video game!" and the man on the right is saying "We're not in a video game. I can prove it." In the third panel, the same two men are standing at a doorway and the man on the right is pointing and saying "Just right down here." In the fourth panel, the same two men are standing in a room with a large pile of corpses. The man on the right is saying "See? Here's a giant pile of dead bodies without any clipping or frame drops." The man on the left is saying "Oh yeah!"

On Thurs night, the #KennedyCenter concert hall was awash in…howling, passionate booing. It started w/1 or 2 boos & caught on fast, roaring from the rows. I’ve never heard anything quite like it—let alone before a note was played.
The cause of the nearly sold-out house’s audible outrage was the emergence onto the box tier of VP #JDVance, 2nd lady (& newly appointed Kennedy Center board member) #UshaVance…, nearly a half-hour after the concert was scheduled to begin.
14 March 1893 | A German Jewish woman, Grete Marx Emmel, was born in Warburg.
In October 1940 she was imprisoned in the internment camp in Gurs. In September 1942 she was deported from Drancy to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.

The Ancient Greeks Who Converted to Buddhism
It would hardly be notable to make the acquaintance of a Greek Buddhist today. Despite having originated in Asia, that religion — or philosophy, or way of life, or whatever you prefer to call it — now has adherents all over the world.Colin Marshall (Openculture.com)

“We are exploring options to expand our manufacturing capabilities.”…Eric Berger (Ars Technica)
I can't keep up with all these people, but going Texas...? Does that suggest a MAGA move.
Are they in that sense similar to the neo-military-industrial startups like Anduril and Palantir, funded by far-right accelerationist types?
And a totally unrelated observation: California for some reason apart, it seems like the pro-authoritarian populace tends to be generally found in the 'hot and bothersome' regions while the more level-headed and cooperative peoples don't mind the cold all that much... (Northern European here)

A digital drawing shows a pale-skinned figure with long, blonde hair, a white shirt with gold buttons, dark pants with a laced front, and a fencing sword. The figure is seated with one leg crossed over the other and is holding the sword in their right hand. A gold circle is behind the figure, and the background is a dark color.

When humans use AI to earn patents, who is doing the inventing?
US patent law says inventors must be human, but they can use AI. This changes the nature of invention and raises the question: Is this what the founders had in mind when they set up the patent system?The Conversation

in reply to Ars Technica • • •Look at all the sh*t Free Speech hating Elon is doing with DOGE and laugh about this hypocrisy.
With no audit, no thought, and no accountability, Elon Musk is just taking an axe to jobs and services.
But when the same ideological, reckless behaviour is aimed at him, it's suddenly a problem.
