LOL, TOM NICHOLS.

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.

OPEN THREAD: Yeah, the night’s not over. You’re not trying hard enough.

THE 21ST CENTURY ISN’T TURNING OUT AS I’D HOPED: The Eerie True Story of The Nightmare Face Haunting The Internet. “Among the hundreds of Loab iterations Supercomposite has summoned into being, many feature dismembered or screaming children in the background. Some AI-generated images were so grotesque that the artist decided not to share them publicly.”

RICH-MOGGING BILL GATES:

Elon is always amusing.

Also, “I made Microsoft!” isn’t the flex Bill seems to think it is . . .

UPDATE: It’s fake, but it’s funny.

A GALLON WEIGHS ROUGHLY EIGHT POUNDS, SO THAT’S A GOOD PRICE. OR, ALTERNATIVELY, SHE’S DRUNK.

NO, IT’S NOT METFORMIN THIS TIME. Scientists Say This Medication Could Be the Next “Wonder Drug.” “Researchers at Michigan Medicine also found that sotagliflozin suppresses excessive platelet activity, a process that can block blood flow to the heart or brain. Published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the findings suggest a possible explanation for the drug’s ability to reduce heart attack and stroke risk beyond its effects on blood sugar.”

PRO TIP: If you’re waling on someone with a stout stick like this, jab it like a spear, don’t swing it. What this guy is doing will just leave some bruises. Jabbing would break ribs, and it’s harder to block.

PREPPING: Being Prepared is a Choice. So is Choosing Not to Be. “Most of us can probably get on board with the idea that our military bases, areas critical to our national security, should indeed be self-sufficient enough that they won’t collapse or become paralyzed by either cyber or kinetic attacks on the power grid, etc. In fact, we might ask, why is this even a question? Why aren’t all military bases already up to this standard? You can answer those two previous questions for yourself. However, the primary question we should all be asking is this; if the government/military is taking active steps to protect its people and places from cyber attacks, terrorism, etc. should we be concerned?”

ONE-SIDED ERRORS.
