I've seen this same suggestion years ago on Blender tutorials. Generating a scene isn't about making it realistic, it's about fooling the audience into thinking it's real without making it too hard to create. Look at videos from Ian Hubert on how to fake it well.

Anyone who actually cites Noah's flood to counter scientific data doesn't need to be making laws for the public.

Can someone open this pickle jar?
It's as much Star Trek as the unofficial Trek movie Galaxy Quest. Doesn't matter if the characters and universe are different, it's got the same vibe to fit in.

Twitter to ditch bird logo, Musk says
Reply in thread
The logo has been very successful in branding the company, as well as the companion verb "tweet". I think a company has reached peak when its name or something connected is used as an action verb. If he had taken over McDs he'd be tossing out the arches and even Big Mac with claims that they are the problem.
Twitter may have not been in great shape financially when he took over, but at least it had somewhat of an image. Musk is the contractor you called to fix a leak in the roof, and he burns the house down. He fixed the leak alright.

I've heard it was a popular discussion place people would go to. Even called the front page of the internet because it was the first and best source for compiled news and information. Its CEO had some quotes that showed how important free flow of information was.
"I don't think we should silence people just because their viewpoints are something we disagree with. There is value in the conversation, and we as a society need to confront these issues. This is an incredibly complex topic, and I'm sure our thinking will continue to evolve."
"We are not the thought police. It's not the role of a private company to decide what people can and cannot say."
He was also forward thinking in designing an open forum, controlled by individuals.
"Our approach to governance is that communities can set appropriate standards around language for themselves. Many communities have rules around speech that are more restrictive than our own, and we fully support those rules."
Wait, that sounds more like the Fediverse.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott declares that Texas law supercedes Federal authority and hints at secession
The only issue I have with secession talk is there are lots of Texas citizens who aren't the problem. Every red state has people with common sense, they just don't have the ability at the moment to shut up the idiots. Plus secession at this point is ludicrous, leaving with your toys isn't how you fix problems. Oh wait, it's Republicans, they don't ever have solutions anymore anyway it's all a political game.

Putin’s plane has left Moscow for St. Petersburg. Looks like he is fleeing from the advancing Wagner Group military column
Brave Sir Putin ran away.
("No!")
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("I never!")
Yes, brave Sir Putin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
("You're lying!")
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Putin!

Earth if it was 4 Degrees more warmer.
This has been circulating for years, and the accuracy of its predictions are high at the equator and drops off quickly as you go towards the poles. This map falsely implies that we'll just move out of danger and be fine. Canada, Siberia, and Western Antarctica are imagined almost as futuristic paradises.

Which shows he's a terrible politician, since a good one can response to a question without giving a yes or no. Isn't that a first year class, Ambiguity 101?

xkcd #2889: Greenhouse Effect
Their work resulted in the often-posted newspaper article speculating how in a few centuries the emissions of burning coal might become a problem for the world's environment. What they didn't anticipate was the rate of increase from a population explosion which would begin its climb in a few decades from various factors.

The final nail in the coffin for me was when Bank of America not only charged an overdraft fee for each insufficient charge, they arranged the order highest to lowest coming out that day to maximize the potential fees.
My credit union will also charge a fee for an overdraft. One penny if I can get money in that day to cover it, and they give me a warning so I can do just that.
