Something I cannot unsee. I like photography, so I follow a lot of photographers on Twitter, specifically portrait photographers. I've noticed allmost all Japanese models now have these bulged lower lids under their eyes. The trend (according to AI) has a specific name: "Aegyo-sal", which seems to mean "charming/cute fat/skin." From the AI: "In many East Asian cultures, this feature is associated with a youthful, innocent, and cheerful appearance. It is believed to make the eyes look larger, brighter, and as if they are "smiling," which is highly prized in modern beauty standards influenced by K-pop and social media."

now that i am... writing my own agentic LLM framework thing... because if you're going to have a shitposting IRC bot you may as well go completely overkill, i have Opinions on the state of the world.
openclaw, especially, seems to be hot garbage, actually, because i was able to teach my LLM (which i trained from scratch on the highest quality artisanal IRC logs, 2003 to present, so i can assure you it is not a very good LLM) to use tools in the context of my own framework quite easily.
Pi day should not be today, but the 22 of July, as explained here by a grumpy old man ;)

In any case, that "Middle Endian" date format used in the US, mm/dd/yyyy, must be one of the biggest flops in human logic.
That together with the imperial system, and the German language naming of numbers of course, which is Big Endian, except for the last two digits which are Little Endian, because why not? 1234 is One Thousand, Two Hundred and... not Thirty Four, but "Four and Thirty" (eternal hopeless facepalm)

The level of gaslighting, fake news, info-slop, and BS is going strong worldwide, and not budging one bit. Hold on to your higher skepticism levels. Suspend/postpone belief until validating. Sharpen your critical thinking alarms. It's April fools day every single day.

Fabio ManganielloEach dot in this picture is a Nazi-fascist massacre in Italy that happened between 1943 and 1945.
This is the result of a project that lasted years, summarized by the Atlante delle Stragi Nazifasciste https://www.straginazifasciste.it/
6000 of them, the whole peninsula is covered in red. Almost every village from Naples to Bozen has at least a monument to keep the memory of the massacred alive.
Note that this doesn’t include battlefield or other warfare acts. Only acts of violence against the civilian population. Which resulted in more than 24,000 deaths in two years. More than 33 civilians killed every day.
This is the memory that is worth keeping alive now that the world is again sleepwalking towards those horrors.
This is why even a bulwark of liberalism like Popper said that freedom of speech and action doesn’t apply to fascists.
This is why grandsons of partisans keep repeating that the only good fascist is a dead one, and that violence against them should not only be tolerated but encouraged.
This is why we keep repeating that you can’t just talk or vote fascism out - it never leaves without a lot of blood.
And then those filthy pigs also dare to play the part of the victims when we invoke violence against them.
And then they keep repeating stale (and utterly false) refrains like “but Mussolini also did some good things”.
A tank driving through a port approaches a huge tanker, and suddenly drives into complete darkness. The tanker (tank's driver) asks the gunner why the sudden brightness change. The reply:
- Shadow of a shadow tanker, tanker.
