Got a good recommendation for the video one you mentioned? I have some videos digitized from VHS tapes that I'd like to clean up. (I'm only interested in models I can run locally, BTW, for obvious privacy reasons.)

No shit the results are "middling" when the poll question are constructed to sanewash Trump that hard!

Isn't there a single goddamned mainstream media journalist or pollster who can name "ethnic cleansing" for what it is?

And don't even get me started on the blatant fucking lie about Musk's goal being "reducing spending," or the implication that anything he's doing is even slightly legitimate to begin with.

For cherry-picking an article whose headline lied about the condition: it's not "bringing peace," it's "joining NATO." Specifically.

Now fuck off with your misinformation, parroted by CNN or otherwise.

their people are just as fucked up as Americans sometimes.

I'm tempted to respond with a picture of Nicholas Cage, but then I think about how Holocaust denial is increasing...

In 2023 there were 320 bombings in the US. During the same year there were 3,203 threats. So, we're looking at 0.1%

Um... that's 10%, not 0.1%.

What "little choice remains" means is that your choices are defending your rights or capitulating.

Of those, only Gandhi was associated with a revolution, and even in his case it seems like the way it played out (with the partition into India and Pakistan as separate countries) was much more along the lines of what some of the less non-violent revolutionaries wanted.

Touché, but not even a horse can get you through a hole in the middle of a room's ceiling.

Also, there were other things that were mechanically better about Morrowind, such as its much more interesting/immersive fast travel system.

That title sounds like it's sci-fi lesbian porn.

No, they're not "cluing in." They aren't rejecting the regime's disastrous and evil goals; they're just squabbling for power within it.

I feel like at this point, remaking Daggerfall would need to involve replacing the procedural generation with generative AI.

the mechanics were absolute shit

Levitate on up to the top of my Telvanni tower and tell that to my face—oh wait, you can't!

Summary

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) faced backlash at a town hall in Roswell, Georgia, over his support for Elon Musk and deep federal budget cuts.

Constituents jeered and booed as McCormick defended layoffs at the CDC, arguing AI makes some jobs redundant.

Attendees criticized the cuts as rushed and extreme, chanting "shame" and accusing him of harming local communities.

The heated event echoed past voter outrage at town halls, with some Republicans avoiding similar meetings after Trump’s first term began in 2017.

Summary

NYC's congestion pricing program, launched Jan 5 after Biden administration approval, faces new threats from the Trump administration.

Governor Kathy Hochul vows to keep the toll scanners active, deeming Trump's effort and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's order an attack on the city.

The MTA swiftly filed a legal complaint to uphold the $9 toll, citing reduced traffic and critical funding for mass transit.

Legal experts warn the Trump administration faces an uphill legal battle.

TL;DW: as fucking always, it's single-family zoning:

I think instead of making it impossible to build more affordable housing in safer places, and incentivizing people to rebuild in fire-prone areas, maybe the government could do the fucking opposite for once and make it easier to build in places that don't burn down once a decade! The state's response to these neighborhoods going up like kindling cannot only be to replace the kindling just as it was, just where it was, as quickly as possible, and at a taxpayer-funded discount. That is not bravery; that is not resilience; that is denial.

Climate change is only going to make these fires more frequent, and we have a glaringly obvious solution to make California safer in the face of them: we could rezone the city to allow more housing in areas that don't border the fire zone. But that is a solution that our cowardly politicians refuse to try, for fear of pissing off the homeowners who don't like apartment buildings!
