Jordan Gibson’s Batgirl Gatchaman mash-up art is delightful — if you grew up on 1960s Batman and 1970s Battle of the Planets:

Speaking of art, you got to check Gerald Parel, on tumblr, deviantart or pinterest.

My favorites are Soviet Robocop Girl and Super Komrad Girl (Wonder Woman) holding up a Coca Cola truck, saving the world from high fructose corn syrup, like a commenter said.

His Melania Trump (or Valkyrie) isn’t too shabby either, now that’s a first lady! There is of course, also the obligatory Batman, or Conan, and a Master of the universe Star Wars style poster…

I saw this and it made me think of the music video for Atomic Swindlers’ Float (My Electric Stargirl).

Hah. Just looked them up on Wikipedia.

the band’s homoerotic stage show and lyrics have not gone unnoticed by the LGBT community

I never noticed.

Take from that what you will.

That animation reminded me of Samurai Jack — with a heroine who reminded me of Aeon Flux and Blade Runner‘s Pris (played by Daryl Hannah).

Jim: LOL.
Isegoria: Well, we certainly haven’t ascended to become beings of pure energy.
Wanweilin: …and yet we remain human after millions of years.
Jim: For the avoidance of doubt, that is a jab at “people” vibing the progress of their codebases by lines accreted.
Jim: T. Beholder: “For one, let’s remember that more powerful computers did not help to write and optimize a better code, but rather allowed greater inefficiency. Thus lowering standards for software to the levels that would be considered absurd but a few years earlier. The Daily WTF found IIRC embedded Java machines whose only purpose was to perform simple arithmetic operations with string constants.” The objective functions of that code were and are: (a) something that looks like it works...
VXXC: Strangely enough, when one returns to our common roots of armed raiding combined with presently energy production dominance, and we covered the insurance angle via DFC Chubb, how odd the success when one has a country not a global market… and doesn’t want the blasted ground. I refer to the present matter of the Pirates of Persia and their Boomer resistance allies.
T. Beholder: He is almost certainly wrong on LLM keeping the verbal lawns shapely. For one, let’s remember that more powerful computers did not help to write and optimize a better code, but rather allowed greater inefficiency. Thus lowering standards for software to the levels that would be considered absurd but a few years earlier. The Daily WTF found IIRC embedded Java machines whose only purpose was to perform simple arithmetic operations with string constants. So instead it’s one more way so-called...
Jim: The legitimacy of the American regime is drawn from the Constitution accepted by the Founding Fathers in 1789. Did the Founding Fathers intend to arm Blacks, Mexicans, traffic cops, women, enforcers of divorce “court” orders, SWAT, Israelis, or the institutional progeny of slave patrol against normal white Americans? The Founding Fathers dueled. Do the American Bar Association, National Judicial College et al. have any right to prohibit normal white Americans from privately settling...
Gaikokumaniakku: “Vannevar Bush once said that the unity of decision under a totalitarian regime was a recipe for making colossal technological mistakes, whereas the prevalent confusion of decision-making in a democracy was more efficient. He could not have anticipated the tortuous system of procrastination that characterizes modern American defense procurement.” I used to quote William S. Lind, who used to compare American defense procurement to Soviet defense procurement. Any sufficiently corrupt...
Gaikokumaniakku: Note that obviously non-white wrongdoers are often documented as white in order to throw off official statistics.
Jim: I, an AI enjoyer, have been assured by my fellow AI enjoyers that quantity of lines of code has become a relevant metric at long last. I look forward to computers obeying my every whim. May the imminent godlike superintelligence have mercy on our souls.
Jim: In any case, never listen to a woman purporting to speak in authority on the raising up of boys. The sensitive young white teen was born to go to war. He should be set loose upon Africa, the Middle East, India, and elsewhere with a Toyota Hilux, some automatic weaponry, and a gas and ammunition ration, provided only that consorting with the local fauna be punishable by death.
Jim: The things you know form the threads of your thought.
Isegoria: Give me a minute, David, to Google “Bob Dylan”…
Anomaly UK: Of teenage boys who are incapable of learning by memorization because it is unnatural and they are not academically inclined, how many can name 11 members of their favourite sports team?
David Foster: Phileas Frogg..”David Starkey has been arguing for ages that memorization is a key cognitive skill that is missing from modern education. He’s not wrong”…here& #8217;s an analogy I came up with: A song by Jakob Dylan includes the following lines: Cupid, don’t draw back your bow Sam Cooke didn’t know what I know …note that in order to understand these two simple lines, you’d have to know several things: 1)You need to know that, in mythology, Cupid symbolizes love 2)And that...
T. Beholder: Miscellanea: The War in Iran In which he repeats “teh People are ekshully American sympathizers, Regime is Sauron” meme once more. The problem with acoup.blog is that Devereaux definitely can research and think for himself… right until the moment any subject touches some tripwire of MiniTru (be it $CURRENT_THING or cone-sensus of Marxism academia). Then he twitches, goes into full glass-eyed «Yes – Dnyarri – I – wish – to – know – about –...
T. Beholder: The ascendancy of armor plate over gunshot and early shells was so fleeting that some analysts are prone to make light of the ram. But writings of the 1870s and 1880s extolled the ram. As usual. If it noticeably contributed to superiority of the Eternal Brit (or later Brit 2.0), it was Predestination, otherwise a fleeting fad. Hence taunts like «But before, and before, and ever so long before…» from those in the know. through a gauntlet of effective fire that was short, only a half...
Lucklucky: Not if their jobs, power, and status depend on complexity.
Gaikokumaniakku: People who focus on receiving trust from authority have less attention available to learn engineering. People who focus on technical craft have less attention available to learn how to gain trust from authority. Thus the managers (in my experience) are always technically clueless. Hackernews recently had a discussion comparing personal coding projects to the Winchester Mystery House. https://news.ycombinator .com/item?id=47601194 This links primarily to : https://www.dbreunig....
