Clearly the furries need rabies shots.
The rats are beginning to narc on each other. Maybe looking for lenient treatment.
plus the feds pay 6.2% for Social Security tax and 1.45% for Medicare tax - pays at least an additional(near as i can figure) 46,122,340 in payroll taxes.
Additionally, employers must withhold an extra 0.9% Medicare tax on wages exceeding $200,000 in a calendar year.

A new wave of violence is just beginning, mark my words. It won’t be days of rage but weeks, months, and probably years of it.

People are using Google’s new AI model to remove watermarks from images
Excerpt:
Users on social media have discovered a controversial use case for Google’s new Gemini AI model: removing watermarks from images, including from images published by Getty Images and other well-known stock media outfits.
Last week, Google expanded access to its Gemini 2.0 Flash model’s image generation feature, which lets the model natively generate and edit image content. It’s a powerful capability, by all accounts. But it also appears to have few guardrails. Gemini 2.0 Flash will uncomplainingly create images depicting celebrities and copyrighted characters, and — as alluded to earlier — remove watermarks from existing photos.
.....To be clear, Gemini 2.0 Flash’s image generation feature is labeled as “experimental” and “not for production use” at the moment, and is only available in Google’s developer-facing tools like AI Studio. The model also isn’t a perfect watermark remover. Gemini 2.0 Flash appears to struggle with certain semi-transparent watermarks and watermarks that canvas large portions of images.
Still, some copyright holders will surely take issue with Gemini 2.0 Flash’s lack of usage restrictions. Some models, including Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet and OpenAI’s GPT-4o, explicitly refuse to remove watermarks; Claude calls removing a watermark from an image “unethical and potentially illegal.”
Removing a watermark without the original owner’s consent is considered illegal under U.S. copyright law (according to law firms like this one) outside of rare exceptions.
Huh? American Heart Association fights Texas bill that would remove candy and soda from SNAP benefits
Excerpt:
This is not satire. The American Heart Association is literally down in Texas lobbying for soda and candy to remain available to those using food stamps.
Senate Bill 379 removes energy drinks, sweetened drinks, candy, potato/corn chips, cookies, and soda from the list of items that can be purchased with SNAP benefits.
Why would the American Heart Association be against this?
Could it have anything to do with the funding the AHA has received from Coke and Pepsi? Could it have to do with the money they’ve received from Kellogg’s? Or maybe it’s the pharmaceutical companies who fund the AHA?
The American Heart Association knows sugar leads to obesity and obesity exacerbates heart disease (the number one cause of death in America), yet here they are fighting for sugar!
The American Heart Association also, in the late 1900s, pressured our fast-food industry to move away from tallow and toward seed oils.
The simple fact that the American Heart Association would fight against legislation which removes junk food from poverty-stricken people’s diets is beyond parody.
The Babylon Bee can’t compete with reality anymore!
