Degenerate robosexuals isn’t something to get your panties in a bunch about. The real worry is when people modify the useful chatbots to provide more interesting insights into creative sexuality. There’s a subject braindead journos can’t even contemplate, yet I doubt I’m the only one thinking about it.

I still love Ubuntu, but I understand people who hate it. Ubuntu definitely ain’t for everyone.

It’s always been a Lua-powered game. They’re just making it more in-your-face.

It’s not.

The 5th Circuit remanded the case to the district court for a new trial on damages. Record labels can expect a lower payout because the appeals court said they can’t obtain separate damages awards for multiple songs on the same album.

Denuvo is worthless after a maximum of 12 weeks, is basically all this proves. Who knows the minimum.

lol

What you smokin’ comrade?

This does seem pretty on-point:

Vanity Fair journalist Gabriel Sherman, who wrote the screenplay, draws a direct line between Cohn’s bare-knuckle tactics and Trump’s modern-day political persona. Cohn (Jeremy Strong) instructs Trump (Sebastian Stan) to relentlessly attack, “deny everything” and “never admit defeat.”

Most games rely more on GPU than CPU, nowadays. So, it’s not really all that surprising.

One Sunday morning this past summer, less than 5 miles down the road from Calvary Church, Mullins’ Democratic opponent, Rev. Vanessa Cummings, was preaching at Payne Chapel AME Church. As Cummings finished delivering her sermon to the dozen or so people in the pews, she emphasized the need to pray for unity, world peace, and healing from divisiveness. She’s been a pastor at this 184-year-old Black church for three years and has ministered across the state. A longtime public servant and community activist, she served as vice mayor and city councilmember of nearby Oxford and is the vice president of Oxford’s NAACP chapter. She has long helped with voter registration and education drives. Today, I am the only white person in the room and I am reminded of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous observation that 11 a.m. on Sunday was the “most segregated hour of America.”

Sitting across from me in her office after the service, Cummings acknowledges that in a district that is nearly 62 percent Republican, the odds are stacked against her. But, she notes, “If I didn’t think I could win, I wouldn’t run.” The voters she’s spoken to on the campaign trail are desperately seeking change, Cummings tells me, and they’re tired of politicians making decisions against their constituents’ wishes because of their personal beliefs.

While her faith guides her in her personal life, she emphatically rejects the tenets of Christian nationalism that Mullins preaches. “She believes there’s no separation of church and state. I believe there is a separation of church and state,” Cummings says. “She believes this is a stupid position. I believe it’s a position we should fight for, to get to serve the people.”

Hmm. Which one would I vote for, I wonder?

The area hit hardest by Helene is deeply Republican. Trump won about 62% of the vote in 2020 in the 25 counties declared to be a disaster area after Helene, while Democratic President Joe Biden won about 51% in the remainder of the state, according to a Reuters analysis.

I’m not superstitious, but…

At a recent private fundraiser in South Carolina, Lara Trump, the RNC’s co-chair, encouraged donors to donate to the recovery efforts, according to one person in attendance. The better the infrastructure in the area, she said, the easier it will be for residents to get to the polls.

Funny. Republicans were doing everything humanly possible to screw over infrastructure, and now they want their “donors” to give a damn about it?

As long as slander laws exist, this will continue to be true. You can’t be conservative and honest. It’s just not physically possible.

In 2014, lawmakers passed laws to weaken protection for wetlands, which can help reduce flood damage by absorbing excess rainfall, according to Brooks Rainey Pearson, a senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center.

Three years later, the legislature made it easier for developers to pave green spaces, increasing the risk of flooding caused by heavy rains, according to the Southern Environmental Law Center. Mr. Millis, of the home builders association, said that “storm water is heavily regulated in North Carolina.”

Last year, efforts by Republican lawmakers to ease the state’s building codes erupted into open confrontation with Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat.

The legislature passed a law that blocked the state from adopting new building codes until 2031. The law also included smaller changes, such as preventing local building inspectors from ensuring that home builders correctly install protective sheathing on homes exposed to winds of 140 miles per hour or less.

Governor Cooper vetoed the bill, saying it would “wipe out years of work to make homes safer.” But Republicans overrode his veto.

Republicans vs making the world worth living in.

A true Klingon never uses comments.

Well, then…

I’m a die-hard Ubuntu fan, but just use whatever works for you.

Back in the day, journalists went to prison to protect their sources. It was considered a rite of passage or a badge of honor. I highly doubt anyone at Twitter is willing to go to prison for their sources.

I’m just here for the yo dawg memes.

Fuck this company.

You’re damn right.
