It is, indeed. I would have commented on that myself but I’d just done a post regarding the folks motive for leaving a Trump speech and didn’t want to be one of those kind of posters.
I work at a hotel… I hate the “distressed transient” travelers… they want Marriott Camelback with Knight’s Inn prices… and don’t get me started on group-on discounts…
One body found…
I had read that. Poor doggie. I’m not glad for the human’s death, but he had a choice at least.
There’s a video on that page. This has been very common in Milwaukee over the last few years. People steal cars, drive them 900 mph until they hit something or someone, then take off running. You can see the driver take off, the passenger, however, appears to be too injured to leave the scene (and he didn’t appear to appreciate the bystanders trying to drag him out of the car. I’m not entirely sure if they were trying to help get him out or hold him for the police, but it looked painful).
This type of thing must be a really big deal in Milwaukee, the newscaster said they sent the video to the mayor for their reaction to “the chaos.”
Sam Altman asks Scarlet Johansson to voice OpenAI’s newest virtual assistant.
ScarJo says no.
OpenAI deepfakes her voice anyway, tries to claim it’s a coincidence, then Altman blows the whole thing by tweeeting an allusion to a film where she played an AI.
It’s awful. There are entire parts of town that myself (and others that I’ve talked to) avoid as much as possible because of it. There’s a few places that I’ll overshoot on the freeway and backtrack to spend less time on surface roads. It’s very common to see people flying through red lights and stop signs. Going nearly 90+ and weaving through traffic on busy roads and doing exactly what you saw in that video.
Even people that live in those communities, that historically would rather the police just leave them alone, have been practically begging the police to spend more time in the area and start pulling over more reckless drivers. IIRC, the Milwaukee Public School system started offering Drivers Ed as a class. It sounds stupid, but if you’re going to steal a car, they at least want to make sure you know how to drive it.
Also, a lot of these people are really young, like 13 or 14.
If you’re familiar with the Kia Boys, this is where they got started.
14 year old steals a car, hits a bus.
Someone runs a red light, hits a cop (this ones kinda interesting. It shows the POV from their body cams as bystanders roll it back onto it’s wheels )
Stolen Kia splits in half when it hits another car at 90mph. Driven by someone now in the juvenile system (so under 18, but I’m guessing under 16 too)
Run a red light, hit a cop (and some other traffic).
Some places along these roads have started installing stanchions to protect the customers inside the buildings.
Individually, these aren’t a big deal, but this is all the time. As far as the Mayor doing something about it, he’s been saying that for a while now.
Unrelated, but I found this video and article about a woman who had the balls to pull a cop over for speeding.
Don’t forget the strong man with tears in his eyes.
Juan Merchan is ‘conflicted’ because he was born in Colombia.
But Aileen Cannon isn’t, even though she was born in Colombia.
That’s what I posted on Farcebook, on a poop emoji background.
Here’s what my Trump cultist friend (she) posted [emojis deleted]:
The judge is highly compromised, wonder what horrendous sexual act they have on him[.] find out soon
‘He’s not compromised at all. Of course, Trumpistas can only SAY things. They can never back them up,’ said I. The last bit isn’t bolded on FB, but I’m highlighting the sentence here for the reason you’ll see at the end.
we can only use our brains
I can guarantee you they have something big on him, cause I know how it works. Why would a judge publicly ruin his lifelong reputation like he’s doing? Of course, he’s getting paid BIGLY but he really has no choice. Almost over, John, truly it is [emojis deleted]
‘So… You’ve got nothing.’
[Bolding mine]
just an educated guess [emojis deleted]
Keep fighting the good fight, I guess. Maybe you’ll get through to someone else.
[New bolding mine]
I do not think that word means what they think it means
I didn’t want to be mean, so I let it go. Your post is nicer. I’ll keep it in my back pocket in case I need it.
Inconceivable!
My first thought was, “Well, they’re half right.”
That’s in the political threads.
I thought that was the bald eagle named FREEDOM.
You’re talking about Republicans? That’s no longer a political party; it’s now a religion. And you know who their deity is.
Former OpenAI employees: “We had to sign a nondisparagement agreement that says we lose all our stock if we say anything negative about the company”
OpenAI C-suite: “What? We had no idea”
Reporters: “Then how come your handwritten signature is on the paperwork?”
OpenAI C-Suite:
I promise I won’t post these continuously. I’m posting this one just to show how common this is. Just a day after my previous post, there was another incident. Car, driving recklessly on the freeway, hits another car, rolls over and three people take off on foot.
