@quinn it's just a way to dilute the argument and weaken support for any solution, if you can add ever more "but ifs", in order to both-side & all-sides, and hand the destructive status quo a win.

@quinn I'm old enough to remember a wave of posts about using blockchain to...do something...that would solve global warming. At least it gave me lots of people to block on LinkedIn.

@quinn Exactly. Take the billions away from the billionaires, use them to solve the problems.

@tewha ur tuxedo kitty looks alot like my tuxedo kitty also named Sylvester. Meow! :)

@fesix
I have a chunk of that somewhere. I bought it about 4+ decades ago in a museum gift shop.
Fascinating stuff.

@fesix interesting crystal. 😃

@fesix I hadn't, thank you - a quick search reveals it has the nickname "TV Rock" which seems quite appropriate 😁

@leemadgwick Amazing! Great light :)

@irene It's a little cat couch that's so adorable! 😍

@irene The other cats seem to understand how couches work but Min, as always, is unclear on the concept.

@malwaretech I think your toot was unfair - to the spoons, not to Trump.

Not fully original on my part: in Duck Soup, Rufus J. Firefly (Groucho Marx) "apologizes" to Ambassador Trentino after calling him a baboon by saying, "I shouldn't have said that. It was insensitive of me. It isn't fair to the other baboons."

@malwaretech *who already won once

@malwaretech It's riveting stuff. It truly is

@MrLovenstein

@MrLovenstein been there

@NewtonMark this story might drive change though, as a Bad Thing has happened to a jernlismser, which as we know from extensive history in Australia is far more important than when it happens to a member of the great unwashed.

@NewtonMark A 500 million dollar defamation suit might improve their motivation.

@NewtonMark Legally, I don't get how this is an issue. If my business model is a robot that punches a few random people in the face each day, I am liable for assault.

If my business model is an AI system that defames people, my company is liable for defamation.

@warandpeas

Remind me this beautiful song by Jimi Hendrix :

@warandpeas It should say "Put me in a blender".

@warandpeas this reminds me of a chapter in uzumaki… yeah… :/

@Gargron should give Alcest's "Les Chants de l'aurore" a listen. Excellent album.

@Gargron it's still a useful platform? I loved it for many years until around 2005.

i haven't kept up with last.fm since the CBS takeover. Prior to that, Russian trolls took over forums, making the discussions worthless.

@Gargron, it's fantastic to see two Hexvessel albums there. I saw them play in Berlin last week, and they are an amazing band!

@Gargron what rifle did you use?

@Gargron what about 110? Can't leave that silly format out!

@Gargron what do you shoot 120 with?
