Alright scumbags. Guess who thought of a legit use for LLM / gen AI / regurgitative AI / whichever, in specific cases?

Mandatory condition: middle managers and C Suite or SMT dumbasses use the garbage multiplier on their own.

They need to learn how shit they are at communicating when the stolen vomit static mash-up program can't give them precisely what they want.

yes backfires possible and likely.
But jfc, if it means people who know "creative" just means "someone who tries something" get a tiny possible break from the hierarchical bullshit, that's a positive.

📝#BehindTheScenes glimpse of my final QC before my Beautiful Abandoned Places Calendar 2025 goes to print!

Half size draft print outs, with my trusty old inkjet in ink saver mode (thrifty!). Tonight I am doing the last pass of typo and layout checks and tweaks before generating the final print-ready versions. Glass of wine and Star Trek on in the background, and my fav green highlighter. Wish me luck 🍀

#Trump is TOO scared to debate #Harris again

TOO scared to accept the fact he got fired by 81 million

TOO scared to serve our country so he dodged the #draft 5 times

TOO scared to face peaceful protestors so he hid in the #WhiteHouse bunker

Trump is the SMALLEST man in the world

The smallest, pettiest men bark the loudest and scream the fiercest obscenities all to mask their deep-seated insecurities

Bobbing Boat

100 liters of diesel delivered.

The tank's at the stern (back of the boat). Since the water level in this canal is so low, I only want the diesel tank filled half way, so the boat floats more level—no scraping the propeller and rudder on the bottom.

While fuelling, it was typical boater chat: 'Canals ran better under British Waterways than the "top-heavy" Canal & River Trust.'

Since, they just brought back the #draft. Whether or not it will be enforced has yet to be seen. Needless to say, it is far easier to get a group of teenagers #drafted against their will to #mutiny than those whom volunteer of their own volition.

Mutiny within the #army played a prominent role in the October #revolution.

Reminds me of this video

You know for all this fear of #DonaldTrump declaring #MartialLaw and ordering the #Military and #Troops to mow down #Protesters like #BlackLivesMatter, #FreePalestine From The #Genocide by #Israel, #ClimateAction, etc. or fear mongering about the #Draft and forcing young people into the #Army like in #Vietnam (which is stated to be in #Project2025 but is in a Senate #NDAA Bill)...

There would be a #protests & even a #mutiny within the army against stuff like that.

The two-day NHL Entry Draft was held in Las Vegas at the end of June and four Indigenous players proved successful—Cayden Lindstrom of Driftpile Cree Nation, Métis goaltender Chase Wutzke, Dalyn Wakely, a member of Curve Lake First Nation, and Sam McCue of Odanak First Nation. Bios included in this article.

Windspeaker.comFour Indigenous players chosen in National Hockey League’s Entry DraftAn Indigenous player has been part of the Stanley Cup-winning squad in each of the past two years. Zach Whitecloud, a member of the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation in Manitoba, helped the Vegas Golden Knights win the Cup in 2023. And Brandon Montour of Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario helped the Florida Panthers capture the league title last month. Indigenous representation on league championship teams just might continue in the coming years. That’s because four Indigenous players were selected in the recent National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Draft.

Trump wants to bring back military draft with draconian penalties for failure to participate.

omny.fmTRUMP FLOATS REINSTATING THE MILITARY DRAFT - 6.12.24 - Countdown with Keith OlbermannSERIES 2 EPISODE 192: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT:  Trump has now floated reinstating the Military Draft. He put the words in the mouth of the last of his Secretaries of Defense and that guy – Christopher Miller who sat back and watched January 6th unfold nearly as much as Trump did – dressed the draft up as “A National Service Requirement.” It seems to be targeted at 18, 19, and 20-year old American boys and girls (and maybe 17-year olds) and it would start with a mandatory military aptitude test administered BY the Pentagon IN your local high school and any kid who refused to take it might be prevented from graduating and any school that hesitated to go along with this would lose ALL federal funding. Trump breaking precedent and using the American army domestically to suppress protests and conceivably kill civilians is not the bottom of the plan for the military-dictatorship part of his dictatorship. Those army soldiers, and marines, and whoever else, firing on other Americans – many of them or most of them or maybe all of them, would be draftees. And when The Washington Post reported it, and the story got no traction and no pick-up at all, and even though the paper reported Trump had not expressly endorsed the draft, within six hours Trump posted an enraged denial reading “In fact, I never even thought of that idea” which even for him is a disastrously transparent non-denial denial. Of course HE never thought of that idea: when has Donald Trump ever thought anything about a military draft – except how to dodge it. Somebody ELSE thought of that idea. The somebody else is that former Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller. The Post interviewed Miller and he said a national service requirement should be “strongly considered. He described the concept as a common “rite of passage,” one that would create a sense of “shared sacrifice” among America’s youth." The impact this Washington Post story, could have on Trump’s campaign would be nothing short of fatal – if only it were to be handled correctly by BIDEN’S campaign: Trump wants to reinstate the draft. The. DRAFT.  Is there a more powerful campaign message than “Trump wants to draft your kids”? “Trump Wants To Force Your Kids To Kill Or Be Killed?” Actually there is. Because the voting age is not what it was in the ‘60s. The 18-year olds vote. There IS a more powerful campaign message and it is “Trump wants to draft YOU. Trump Wants To Force YOU to Kill or Be Killed.” ALSO: Trump's felony conviction means he can't own a gun in Florida. So why has he had one longer than Hunter Biden had his? And what about Washington State's law allowing any voter to challenge any candidate's ballot position if he's been convicted of a felony? And why is Alvin Bragg voluntarily appearing at Jim Jordan's hearing - the day after Trump will be sentenced? B-Block (25:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: A Twitter follower of mine puts Chris Cillizza and Nate Silver in the same tweet just to mess with me. Jonathan Martin, who has spent a year talking about nothing but Joe Biden's age, complains that nobody has talked about Joe Biden's age (and works Aaron Sorkin into it, somehow) and the Republican who wants to be Senator from Minnesota, Royce White, explains the campaign funds may have been spent AT the all-nude strip club but that doesn't mean they were spent on STRIPPERS since they serve FOOD at all-nude strip clubs. C-Block (34:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: As I read of Stephen A. Smith demanding that ESPN pay him more than it pays Pat McAfee, I flashed back to the days when the studio-show audiences there were way more profitable than they are now and ESPN was make $60 million a year from SportsCenter and they were paying me $300,000 and I asked for $3,000,000. Oh the look on their faces delights me to this day. How I Quit SportsCenter...
