The image features a poster with a prominent figure in a blue suit and red tie, set against a dark background with blurred lights. The figure is positioned at the top of the poster, with a serious expression. Below the figure, there is a large red banner with white text that reads "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN." The text is bold and capitalized, emphasizing the message. The overall color scheme of the poster is red, white, and blue, which are the colors of the American flag. The poster appears to be a political campaign sign, likely associated with a specific political movement or campaign.

The image features a poster with a black and white photograph of a man wearing a suit and tie. His face is artistically altered to resemble a skull with intricate patterns, particularly around the eyes, which are large and hollow. The text "OB EYE" is prominently displayed above the man's head, with the letters "O" and "E" partially obscuring his face. Below the image, the text "MAKE BILLIONAIRES EVEN RICHER" is written in bold, black capital letters on a reflective surface. The overall tone of the poster is satirical, with the skull imagery suggesting a critical commentary on wealth and power.

Unpopular opinion(s): I'm actually kind of an AI optimist, medium-long term. And also, the AI that is most useful to me on a daily basis is the crappy free one now at the top of Google Search. It's often epically wrong but sometimes epically right, and that counts.

ciao, un paio di consigli: metti sempre un titolo o una breve descrizione del messaggio perché l’anteprima spesso è poco chiara.
Poi rilancia il messaggio al gruppo @economia su @diggita aggiungendo il tag:

@economia@diggita.com

Così da farlo vedere a tutti i follower del gruppo, grazie!



Me looking at my old code: what psychopath did this?


You can see the layout of any website from #Dillo. Just add this single line to ~/.dillo/style.css:

* { margin: 2px; padding: 2px; border: solid 1px gray; }

Then disable both remote and local CSS and images from the Tools menu.

Welcome to hell.

spec fiction review

“The Historian” by Elizabeth Kostova
(Fewest votes) This book was HUGE, then disappeared (it kinda dragged at times). A tale of research into Dracula that gets too close to the truth. I loved the idea of detective-like researchers who are family, & Europe really comes alive. It’s subtly creepy.

“None of the Above” by Lots Below
Admittedly, this book was a whole lot of nothing.

This book punched me in the gut. I was not expecting a vampire story, and when it hit, I discovered I didn't want one, either. I did finish the book, though. Then I gave it to a random poor unfortunate.

"Israel's democracy" is a hoax. An apartheid state is by definition not a real democracy. It's a system where who gets to vote is carefully selected so that the status quo isn't affected.
