Cher’s looks iconic, Sonny’s literally looks like a giant turd.

At 6:15 p.m., Ridley Township police were called to the Wawa on East Chester Pike for a theft. Employees say a man stole Gatorade and cigarettes, threatened people inside with a fire extinguisher, and then drove away on a forklift.

There aren’t that many Pennsylvania Man stories compared to Florida, but I’m guessing that in 90-95% of them, a Wawa is involved in some way or another.

God this is so stupid on both sides. Goldberg for not taking the bakery at face value, and libs at large for thinking that in a city full of blue-leaning bakeries that this one bakery in NYC’s spare borough turning down an order constitutes some crackdown on libs. But also conservatives for doing the predictable bit of throwing money at something they didn’t want until the 24 hour news cycle labeled it as the MAGA thing of the moment, as if stuffing their faces with dairy fat is gonna own the libs.

The subway system had 1.15 billion paid rides in 2023. 12 deaths across five years is 2.4 deaths a year, so roughly 2.5 deaths per billion rides. But noooo, everyone gotta be scared of the subway system because they saw a few more homeless people on it than before COVID.

Can’t wait to see all these so-called “generals” get ousted and replaced with your boomer MAGA uncle that’s really into history (but just the bits about the battles).

I’m just hoping that as co-head of D.O.G.E. (Bleh), Elon does something so ineptly corrupt that the SEC absolutely buries him and Trump is so annoyed by him that he doesn’t step in to intervene.

Oh god are they going to paint the usually swapping of high level bureaucrats when a new administration/party comes in as “retribution” against the noble lanyards?

The over 30’s have more money but less of it is disposable income.

That style has gotten severely overplayed. It went from a novel upending of the normie three camera comedy to be a paint by numbers trope itself.

Hmmm, how do all the traditional porn sites avoid that issue? Do they have access to different processors? Or does the parasocial aspect mean OF has a lot of add-on services that blur the line between porn sex work and “sexual services” that the processors balk at?

Yeah there’s this switcheroo tech companies do where they establish an initial value/user base on the adult content side of their platform but then try to pull the rug out from under it once they’ve hit critical mass and want access to more prudish investors’ money (see: OnlyFans’ aborted attempt to cull the hardcore content from their site).

 

They were trying to get me to vote for this Dem running for a state seat, guy’s a chief of staff for some local establishment democrat, usual machine operation.

I explain I’m sick of the democrats, and the volunteer’s response? “Well candidate such and such is actually much more moderate than people make him out to be.” I wryly pointed out that he just said that to a socialist, and at that point I think he realized he couldn’t do anything to pitch his candidate at that point.

 

First off, no that’s just his handle it’s not literally a dog playing Tetris.

Rebirth happens at about the 1:21 mark. It’s absolutely insane that the first killscreen happened less than a year ago and back then rebirth seemed like a pipe dream. Not just the endurance and skill, but knowing all the unique, unseen situations he needed to avoid in the higher levels in order to not trigger a killscreen. And some of those levels have a lot of conditions that will trigger one.

For those unaware of what this means: because of the way NES Tetris is programmed, eventually the levels will functionally loop back around to level zero again. Hence why the speed suddenly goes from hyper speed to beginner mode.

 

Take the World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, a green giant with over $600 million in assets. WWF and McDonald’s are both founding members of the beef roundtable, and later, the two worked together on other beef-related projects. In fact, that inaugural conference in 2010 was officially titled the World Wildlife Fund Global Conference on Sustainable Beef. (WWF has helped to found similar industry roundtables for poultry and soy — most of which is fed to farmed animals — and a certification program for seafood.)

For its collaboration, McDonald’s makes sure WWF is well compensated; from 2015 to 2022, the company donated $4.5 to $9 million to WWF-US.

From 2017 to 2022, WWF-US brought in approximately $12 million to $28.6 million from various meat, dairy, seafood, fast food, restaurant, and grocery companies, including Tyson Foods, Cargill, Burger King, Costco, Walmart, Red Lobster, Chobani, and Dairy Management Inc., a dairy trade group.

 

You hate having to deal with an automated voice recognition system when calling customer service? Well we put it in an app and called it AI and now you piggies love it. That’s right, eat your slop.

 

A judge in the United States has ruled that Google spent billions of dollars to create an illegal monopoly for its search engine, exploiting its dominance to squash competition and stifle innovation.

Monday’s landmark decision that Google broke antitrust law marks the first major success for US authorities taking on the dominance of Big Tech, which has come under fire from across the political spectrum.

“The court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” US District Judge Amit Mehta wrote in his 277-page ruling.

 

But bosses' resemblance to toddlers doesn't end with their credulity. A toddler's path to getting that eye-height candy-bar goes through their exhausted parents. Your boss's path to realizing the productivity gains promised by an AI salesman runs through you.

A new research report from the Upwork Research Institute offers a look into the bizarre situation unfolding in workplaces where bosses have been conned into buying AI and now face the challenge of getting it to work as advertised:

https://www.upwork.com/research/ai-enhanced-work-models

The headline findings tell the whole story:

  • 96% of bosses expect that AI will make their workers more productive;
  • 85% of companies are either requiring or strongly encouraging workers to use AI;
  • 49% of workers have no idea how AI is supposed to increase their productivity;
  • 77% of workers say using AI decreases their productivity.
