A 90-year-old tortoise became a father

The CNN video compared him to Larry King but I think Tony Randall became a father at an even older age. I’m sure neither of them had to get up in the night to change diapers.

Mr. Pickles, a critically endangered species of tortoise at the Houston Zoo, finally became a father at the age of 90. He and his partner, Mrs. Pickles, welcomed three tortoise hatchlings: Dill, Gherkin and Jalapeño.https://t.co/KfYXf7L5E0 pic.twitter.com/TCI45YsTY1

AI pictures of what an arrest of Trump would look like

I wish these were real but they were made by AI. It shows the potential for AI to be used to spread false information.

After AI images of Trump getting arrested were viewed by nearly 5 million people on social media — an event that hasn’t happened — questions around fact checking policies and the dangers of accessible AI technologies arose across platforms. https://t.co/lpfWL97h3e

I watched The Road Movie

The Road Movie is a unique Russian film composed entirely of clips from dashboard cameras. There are guys negotiating with a prostitute though we can’t see any of the participants. There are fires and vehicles that turn on their sides. There’s a car that plows through two fences.

It’s worth seeing. I watched the Blu-ray and it’s on Pluto TV.

Covers: Angie

“Angie’ is a 1973 Rolling Stones song. I have never liked it and am only posting this because of the Steve Earle cover.

More tweets on the Trump mob

Keep up the trials and convictions.

"We were all there. It was not Antifa & it was not BLM. It was Trump supporters that did that yesterday. I'm the first to admit it, being one myself," said Anthony Aguero, a friend and ally of Greene's, in a video posted on 1/7/21.” h/t ⁦@emsteck⁩ https://t.co/nwbeG7bLn8

Geoffrey Sills, of Mechanicsville, Virginia, will be in court for sentencing tomorrow.

Meticulous work here.

A truth missile.

Who exactly are #January6th inmates in DC jail that some far-right leaders have been championing?

85% are charged/convicted with assaulting law enforcement officers on J6.

On that list of IDed suspects who have not yet been arrested:

An ex-NFL player.

A former NASCAR driver.

Yet another male model.

Yet another former police officer.

Yet another corrections officer.
