“put it on his fucking gravestone”
wolf840 said: Does anyone else remember when Elon was like "if anyone knows how to end world hunger for 6 billion USD, I'll fund it" and UNICEF was like "we're going to spend a month to make a plan to end world hunger for 6 billion USD and Elon is going to fund it" and Elon was like "actually, nah" and then bought Twitter instead? I think that was one of the worst things I'll ever see in my life. tiredspacedragon replied: I still think that should be the thing for which he's the most famous. It should be brought up every time he's mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. "Elon Musk, who was offered a chance to end world hunger and turned it down." Put it on his fucking gravestone.

A postscript with a postcard: Paul found time to make it to the mailbox, sending this to Ringo, with a Jan 31 postmark. With the postal strike going on (see the front pages), who knows how long it took to reach its destination. But it's the thought that counted📬

REALLY.

BTW: I'm not a total AI hater. Like anything it's a mixed bag. Would I use it to help write code? Yeah, coz I don't *love* code, it's just stuff I use to get something done. No, I don't want to see AI art, I want to see what YOU can do, I am more interested in your biro stickmen, if you made them.

Recipe book cover mockup. Vibrant photo of food ona slate grey counter. Tomatoes, limes, street tacos, a red enamel skillet with beans, chili peppers, salsa, corn tortillas stuffed with picadillo. A graphic effect in the center appears to reveal text by tearing this photo. The text reads "HOW TO COOK LIKE THE PEOPLE YOU JUST DEPORTED Authentic ethnic flavors for bigots who don't deserve them"
