👉 LET'S GOOOOO!! Help Kamusha escape the Florida hellscape!

@Kamusha sorry that we weren't able to get the last $300 for ya. Hopefully it's enough to get the ball rolling though! -
I think I felt a ghost/spirit yesterday at the antique store

Well as long as you left with a tiny gatling gun, that's all that matters. -
The Kremlin struggled to cohere an effective rapid response to Wagner’s advances, highlighting internal security weaknesses likely due to surprise and the impact of heavy losses in Ukraine. The optics of Belarusian President Lukashenko playing a direct role in halting a military advance on Moscow are humiliating to Putin and may have secured Lukashenko other benefits. The Kremlin now faces a deeply unstable equilibrium. The Lukashenko-negotiated deal is a short-term fix, not a long-term solution, and Prigozhin’s rebellion exposed severe weaknesses in the Kremlin and Russian MoD. This is really the crux of the whole thing. King Leonidas has been shown to bleed, and it looks very very bad. It's a complete embarrassment for Putin to not only show they have no effective defense against such a rebellion while their forces are preoccupied, and as it says, severe security weaknesses against ANY kind of incursion it seems. Putin couldn't force back or even negotiate the withdrawal himself. And Putin walked back literally all threats (at least publicly) and was willing to welcome them back into the fold after everything they did, in an act of what seems like dire desperation. What does that say to Russian citizens, who have been shown how powerless Putin is, and how vulnerable they all are under him? What does that say to Putin's enemies, who might now be entertaining the thought of an attack on their territory? It was a gamble, but it seems like it worked out exactly as Pringle intended, and I think it's a pretty huge win for him. It's definitely a huge humiliation for Putin.

Jesus I think I killed that guy in Wolfenstein The New Order. This whole thing is pretty embarrassing, but mostly for Putin. It really shines a spotlight on the dirty dealings the Kremlin's engaged with to bring up forces for this campaign, and how desperate they are to keep those deals going. Having your army-for-hire stroll almost all the way up to Moscow isn't a good look for a dictator, me thinks.

Television Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion
Reputator replied to Brick's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
New Marvel TV Show's Credits Were 'Made' By 'AI', Look Terrible KOTAKU.COM Disney wheeling this out in the middle of a writer's strike sure is a look Haven't seen the series, and haven't decided if I'm even going to, but I caught a glimpse of this, and from what I've seen the show is using some really awful AI for the opening credits. No idea wtf they were thinking here. -
Applewood smoked bacon and 15 dollar Amazon speakers.
Reputator replied to Bacon's topic in The Shower
I did the headphones-only thing for a while in the late 00s, but I also got tired of it. I got a pair of Creative Gigaworks T20 speakers and they've been my speakers for YouTube ever since. -
The "data dignity" model for potentially compensating creators who have a high percentage of input into AI-generated works is an interesting one. Seems extremely hard to implement though, especially in a way that most people would find fair.
