About 3 dozen LAPD officers in full riot gear, standing around looking confused, bored, aimless. A waste of taxpayer money, a threatening show of force without morality or purpose. Behind them, the north wall of the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, covered with Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)" mural: against a field of stark red, white letters that read, in part, WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST
LAPD officers in riot gear mill around in front of Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)" on the wall of Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Los Angeles.

color image, taken my michael ochs:
brian wilson, circa spring 1966, leaning toward a talkback microphone in a studio control room. his left hand is up, as if waving or directing someone out of frame in the live room. his right hand rests on the counter, with the index finger jammed up next to a wooden enclosure. nearby is a pack of cigarettes.

@nikkuneko yup, posted from his Blue sky.
@Vidiot ope, my bad, didn't see it was his.
Especially note-worthy that Trump thinks the Chinese crushing that protest was a good thing.
Already warned the people that this will not be tolerated, plus suggested that flag burning will soon get you a year in jail (if he gets his way)

Head neck shot of an space alien with a long pointy nose. In this silver age panel, he says, “SUPERMAN, we come from a planet that is centuries ahead of yours in scientific achievement! On our world, all our work, and all our thinking is done for us by machine – – and that has been our downfall!“
This is particularly apposite

i have this particular CD pressing and i love it because it has the whole album in mono and stereo on one disc. for a long time i only wanted to hear that album in mono, but that stereo remix is pretty great and eventually won me over.
@nikkuneko I just found a CD of Love's "Forever Changes" like that, in my late brother's discs. In that case, the stereo mix is pretty bad for headphone listening, so I am glad to have a mono one.

screenshot of a search engine result:
the search box reads "what if only one number is high in your blood pressure"
below it, the note "About 14,500,000 results" and an "answer" box reading simply "yes", followed by "according to 2 sources"

lots of my time during the week is randomly testing queries in different search engines and LLMs. jesus take the wheel, the magnificent "intelligence" i see being injected into products everywhere.
(via my giant screenshots folder; this one i believe was taken testing the bing search engine, likely using either firefox or edge)

(and yes, before someone suggests it, i do know how to turn these functions off in google, bing, duckduckgo, etc. there may or may not be a lot of AI-adjacent work here at the moment so unfortunately these features stay on in my work browsers/search engines for behavior comparison.)
(and, yes *sigh* this focus is definitely motivating me to resume my "next step" search, but i'll save that for another place and time.)

I just don't understand the full-tilt run toward AI when it's still giving demonstrably inaccurate, if not dangerous information. It feels like a colossal waste of time, and i don't want to help those grifters refine their product one iota.

@wjcstp right? and it's one continued embarrassment of poor performance after another, with every company doubling down on the more of the same without revising their tactics. "well, it told our users to make pizza with glue, but HEY look at how confident it is!"
@wjcstp Because MBA’s have decided that it’s going to make SOMEONE billions of dollars! And because people are gullible.
@wjcstp Because everyone else is doing it and if you don't have AI baked into your product you'll look like an old fuddy duddy? Also because people with more power than commonsense see dollar signs.

A 1920s-era illustration of a laughing woman standing behind a seated polar bear, playfully pulling open its apparently-smiling mouth. The bear holds some sort of spear or scepter.
Obviously, these two are having a blast, and I wish I knew their backstory: When did they first meet? Is the spear ceremonial? How would they define their relationship? What inspired the bells on her skirt? What are they up to after posing for this image? Are those feathers on her head?
i can always make you smile

A black and white photograph of two incredibly attractive people on a lawn bowling pitch. One of them is flipping off the camera and smiling. The other is staring pensively into the distance.
Hey MLTSHP sorry I haven't been around much as of late, you know how life goes.
Went lawn bowling with some coworkers recently. Our photographer brought his Leica and took some nice shots.
Hope you're all doing well :)

Wow, this was much more strongly worded than I was expecting. He's really standing up.

Good speech. I still think he's a fraud.
@jpoulos He's gonna have to rehabilitate himself so much farther against his penchant for giving airtime to chuds like Charlie Kirk.
@jpoulos I don't know about his misdeeds. But he _is_ stepping up to the place. That's a positive in my book.

Outdoor conversation pit, Fire Island, New York. With patterned ceiling supports, which match the pattern in the floor planking, this outdoor space is a great place to converse in summer.
Like stage sets … a Gifford interior.

Photograph of a Latina with floral tattoos on her arms, working a hot dog cart. She's reaching for a bacon-wrapped dog with tongs, preparing to put it into buns. In the background, protestors are milling about.

"Her name is Rosie: 'A lot of vendors are undocumented and can't be here today. So those of us who can, we gotta show up'"
(Also, all these photos make it so clear how beautiful the summer light is in LA. No wonder movie studios moved there!)

First it was protests. Now I'm gettin' all homesick over bacon dogs from a cart.
Still brave as fuck. These kidnappers don't care about documents.

Oh damn sly and Brian the same week!
Well, goddamn.
My eldest sister was married to Al Jardine (the guy on the far left in the thumbnail for this video) for about 20 years. I attended a few recording sessions and a few shows backstage when I was a kid. Even back then Brian seemed very frail (mentally). I never knew him (I was, after all, just a kid) but it was always weird to see how the media portrayed the band, when I had a little bit of an inside viewpoint.
It's sad that he's gone. Such great music. It's too bad that the industry ate him alive, like it did.

Different guy on a similar bike, but I believe this is the same picture set as https://mltshp.com/p/1R31K
Torching helpless Waymos in this context is pretty damn stupid, IMHO.
It's like shouting "shark" in a theater that's on fire.
Not to mix a few metaphors or anything.

@ffg Exactly. Rolling panopticon is unwelcome.
@ang see also: Tesla. Especially since we have proof now that Tesla archives all car camera footage and is at Musk's beck and call.
I like seeing the negative reaction to robotic and self driving crap and hope we see more robots die, but don't burn things. This is all I ask, no burn.

An odd looking yellow taxi cruises through the night. The taxi is taller than it is long, with a checkered yellow and black stripe along the side. The base of the taxi has red, orange, and yellow stripes along it. The taxi itself is yellow with a greenish blue tinge to it, and a small orange light on top. Most unusually, the taxi does not have wheels; extending from the wheel wells are two red legs wearing green boots with yellow stripes. No driver or passenger is visible. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
