@Uair I see the resemblence!

@Uair Alas, I do not get it.

@crouton Yup.

@ronkjeffries Thanks! The format isn’t so much to avoid cluttering up the blog as to organize the newsletter and control the timing of when it goes out in email. I also post to mitchwagner.com. I had been doing a daily linked list there to, as you say, avoid clutter, but I think I’m going to stop doing that and go back to just posting individually.

@Uair Classic!

@mitchwagner.com If you steal $1,000, they throw you in prison, but if you take hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes, they put you in the White House.

@mitchwagner.com In the United States today there is no penalty for flagrant corruption and attempting the overthrow of the US government — if you’re a billionaire.

@mitchwagner.com Or will they wimp out, as the US has done since the Reconstruction after the Civil War, and give oligarchs a pass?

@sloanlance I am not so easily offended. And yes I too share the disappointment about AI-generated images, particularly cute animal videos and photos, which I loved and now love a little less.

And the original image may have been AI-generated. I found it posted without context or explanation, and did the same.

@tezoatlipoca But the bikesheds are great.
