If we live in a good place, with opportunities and prosperity, we should invite other people to join us and share in those opportunities and prosperity.
At minimum, we should not prohibit others from moving for a better life for them and their family.

Amazing new images of the moon Io have come down from the Juno spacecraft! This one shows the volcanic moon of Jupiter from only 2,800 kilometers away, which is the closest look we’ve gotten of Io since the Galileo orbiter over 20 years ago. Check out all those volcanoes!!!!

Just heard one on the radio where a "teen" said something to the effect of "maybe adults actually do know more than us and we should listen to them".
Wow, modern anti-vaping ads have serious "hello fellow kids" vibes.

I made nachos for dinner, but I used no meat and lots of lettuce and tomato, so I'm counting it as a salad.
"The allure of looms entices those people who fetishize fine textiles but dismiss the work. They're the people who tell knitters, "I'll give you the pattern, then you knit it, and we'll split the profits." For them, the vision is everything and the work is just an annoying obstacle. But the WORK is everything. The work is how a thing happens, where it's made, where skill is put to work. Looms in textiles are for the people who have no skill, no work, no effort, no ethic. They just want to push a flying shuttle."
I've been seeing this doing the rounds lately...
I imagine this is very similar to what the monks who spent their entire lives carefully hand-copying bibles felt about the printing press in the 1400s.

Much smarter version of what I've been saying the last couple days:
I've seen some people argue that the NYT's new lawsuit against OpenAI/Microsoft is the strongest such lawsuit yet, but... I don't think so. I also ...

Florida went so Florida that it couldn't even fit it all in the headline, JFC.

What do you think the odds are that the NYT will employ ChatGPT to write articles within the next two years?

I had several British people request I use "aluminium" instead of "aluminum" for yesterday's comic, so here you go.
Or you could just stop giving this shitty company your money.
You’ll be paying extra for ad-free Prime Video come January Subscribers will have to opt-in to a pricier ad-free plan. https://arstechnica.com/cul...
They really have no self-awareness at all, do they?
If they won this lawsuit, what would stop Twitter from suing them for *the exact same thing*?
Is there a service out there that's pretty much exactly Spotify, but costs more so some of the money actually makes it to the artists?

"During their history, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, she said, all displaced indigenous people. No one is calling these countries illegitimate or demanding they evacuate. “So why is Israel different?”"
Israel is different because israel is the only country currently trying to bomb their indiginous population to smitheriens. North America is at least starting to come to terms with their genocidal history. Israel is trying to complete the #genocide.
