Sunday Overnight Open Thread - March 8, 2026 [Doof]

Sunday night ONT is here! Did you enjoy your extra hour of daylight? Or are you in one of those non-conformist areas that stays on standard time all year? Didn't President Trump say he was going to do away with the bi-annual clock changes? Or is is semi-annual? Doesn't bi-annual mean twice a year OR every other year? I'm so confused! Anyway - what are your thoughts on Daylight Savings Time? Keep doing it? Stay on Daylight Time perpetually? Stay on Standard Time perpetually? Why do I ask so many questions? Do you hear me? Do you care?

AI is Asshoe

I admit to using AI platforms occasionally. AI is obviously not going away, so I figure I'll try to use it to my advantage. Grok is the least shitty of them all, in my opinion. ChatGPT sucks donkey balls -- it is left leaning and argumentative. The Pentagon seems to be OK with that for some reason. The Dept of Defense (War?) recently launched an AI portal for its military and civilian employees. That has led to backlash against Open AI.

Sam Altman in Damage Control Mode as ChatGPT Users Are Mass Cancelling Subscriptions Because OpenAI Is “Training a War Machine”

OpenAI just handed one of its biggest rivals a massive PR victory, in a blunder that even CEO Sam Altman admitted had optics that “don’t look good.”

On Friday, Altman announced that OpenAI had reached a new agreement with the Department of Defense over how its AI systems would be deployed across the military, an act that many saw as the company crossing the picket line. That’s because Anthropic, a company founded by former OpenAI employees, had refused to give in to the Pentagon’s demands that it give the military unrestricted use of its Claude AI, even as CEO Dario Amodei insisted that Anthropic’s AI not be used for autonomous weaponry or the mass surveillance of US citizens.

It was a move that could come at great cost for Anthropic. The Pentagon had vowed to ice the company out of contracts with the federal government by declaring it a “supply chain risk,” and even threatened to seize its tech.

But at least in the short term, it’s OpenAI that’s facing more blowback for its decision. Online, scores of users — ranging from your typical AI bro to, we kid you not, Katy Perry — are saying they’re ditching ChatGPT in favor of Claude because of Altman’s deal with the Pentagon. Indeed, Claude surged to the top of the App Store over the weekend, and as of Monday, still claims the number one spot above ChatGPT, which is currently in second place.

A recent thread in the r/ChatGPT subreddit calling on users to to quit the AI chatbot quickly became one of the forum’s most highly-upvoted posts of all time.

“You’re now training a war machine,” the thread reads. “Let’s see proof of cancellation.”

Check out the whole thing.

It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.

-----

Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 is in full swing, and while it's heavy on elegant glamour, structured tailoring, and celebrity-packed front rows, a few moments have veered straight into delightfully outrageous territory. We're talking pieces that make you do a double-take, and probably screenshot for the group chat. Here's a roundup of the most wildly over-the-top, boundary-pushing, and just plain bonkers things we've seen on (and off) the runways so far this week.

1. Matières Fécales' Alien Backstage Nightmare
This underground-ish presentation (tied to Paris Fashion Week's off-schedule energy) went viral for its backstage moments featuring models with alien-like contouring, distorted facial features, ghostly pale skin, and freaky contact lenses that turned them into otherworldly beings. It's not your classic "pretty dress" moment—it's pure surreal shock value, leaving viewers fascinated, horrified, and meme-ing nonstop. Michèle Lamy sightings only amplified the eerie vibe. Outrageous level: 11/10. This one's for the "fashion is weird and we love it" crowd.

IMG_1064-rr.jpg

2. Loewe's Polly Pocket Latex Fever Dream
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez's sophomore Loewe outing embraced childhood whimsy... but made it unhinged. We're talking latex dresses molded to the body with intricate toy-box patterns, rubber scarves twisting around necks and shoulders like deranged accessories, and an overall "raided a mischievous toy chest" energy. It's meticulous craft meets gleeful absurdity—think high-luxury playtime gone rogue. Not subtle and absolutely conversation-starting. If "craft gets weird in a good way" is your vibe, this collection delivered.

IMG_1065-rr.jpg

IMG_1066-rr.jpg


3. Dior's Lily-Pad Heels and Voluminous Tutu Extravaganza
Jonathan Anderson kicked off the week with a garden-party spectacle in the Jardin des Tuileries, front row stacked with Anya Taylor-Joy, Jisoo, Priyanka Chopra, and more. The collection opened with massive voluminous tutus, followed by playful peplums, jazzy jeans, and—wait for it—heels sculpted to look like lily pads. It's grand, glorious, and a touch ridiculous in the best way: high fashion meets fairy-tale whimsy. Not outright shocking, but the sheer scale and playful exaggeration make it feel like a dream you want to live in.

IMG_1068-rr.jpg

IMG_1067-rr.jpg


4. Saint Laurent's Silicone-Coated Lace Rebellion
Anthony Vaccarello marked his 10th anniversary with razor-sharp Le Smoking tributes, plunging necklines, and sultry sheer layers. The standout? Lace coated in silicone for structure, shine, and a subversive edge—turning delicate fabric into something almost armor-like and extra defiant. Paired with pointy sky-high stilettos, leather, and plastic skirts, it's magnetic, body-baring, and provocative. Timeless glamour? Sure. But dialed up to feel dangerously naughty.

IMG_1069-rr.jpg


5. Bonus Street Style Shenanigans
The runways get the glory, but the sidewalks are serving chaos too:

IMG_1071-rr.jpg

IMG_1073-rr.jpg

IMG_1075-rr.jpg

IMG_1076-rr.jpg


Paris Fashion Week still has heavy-hitters like Chanel, Balenciaga, and Louis Vuitton coming up, so expect more madness before it wraps on March 10. In the meantime, these early standouts prove the City of Light isn't afraid to get a little unhinged

Thanks, Piper!

41 My "Fashion Show" theory:

Big fashion houses make their bread and butter shilling cheap suits, ugly ties and Temu dresses to the population at large. However, their cachet is built on floating The Most Ridiculous Shit Ever at high-profile fashion shows where ugly wimmen and gay-ass dudes flounce down the runway in high-style jokeware.

Nobody would ever buy this fashion show shit but this is how brand capital is created in the fashion world.

And these are ready to wear lines! If you take the alien out of the white dress, it’s quite wearable. And I adore the Dior tutu look, though I would probably skip the lily pad shoes. Maybe a floral fabric, though. The structured lace? Ehh. It’s not awful. But it’s not the Dior line.

58 I can relate to some of the music presented tonight.
Not well though. I attended a classical guitar recital this afternoon. World class guitarists truly. I know them pretty well.
It was exhausting. New Works and the only reason the composer hasn't been murdered tonight is he died after putting this together. Dissonant, atonal and annoying.

The submarine pens in France were used until 1995 or something like that. 25 feet thick, reinforced concrete. The US wasted a lot of bomber crews trying to take those out. Turned out ball-bearing machines are pretty much indestructible, too. The raids on Rumanian refineries weren’t particularly effective either, or needed followup. The losses again were really bad. They took off from Benghazi. 35% of aircrews during war were either killed, wounded, or POW.

Well, for one it is Daylight Saving time, not Savings.

We should just drop time-zones altogether and just reckon the time in UTC. Businesses tend to open and close organically. Nothing prevents a person from scheduling a 0900 Central Daylight Time meeting meetings for 1400 UTC, or going to retire for the night twenty minutes from now, or 0300 UTC.

163 There is what I hope is a misleading claim that the administration is working on some kind of "deal" with Cuba.

As useful and correct as "unconditional surrender" is as a purported policy with Iran, it's much more so with Cuba. Iran in many ways is a tough, and vastly larger, nut to crack.

Cuba is really on the ropes. Protests now growing. Absolutely the situation where we demand nothing less than regime change - while we further ramp up the pressure.

The IRGC is intransigent and claims 190,000 members, so one of our primary goals must be to eliminate all of them. It’s like taking out the SS in the spring of 1945, no peace possible until they are all gone.

Thanks for the clarification, but hat covers munitions, and I was wondering if it could be applied to AI, in whatever fashion the Pentagon seems to have found a use for (I don't really have an understanding of it beyond reporting that it was used in Venezueal and probably currently in Iran which led to the kerfuffle).

I kind of think you'd get less noise from the AI CEOs if it was even rumored that a legal interpretation of that sort was being considered (maybe it would give them cover, if they're responding to social pressure rather than being true believers themselves).

Some people like Saving Time, thinking somehow they've actually gained an hour of sunshine. Some folks think we should have Saving Time all year 'round. I've seen proposals that, with our digital time devices and geolocation, we should have clocks continuously adjusting depending on our latitude. There's even some real drips😏 who think the whole world should have one time zone based on England or New Zealand or something crazy like that.

I say, we need time zones as the Lords of the Railroads originally intended. But any system where Noon means the sun is approximately at its zenith in my area is fine with me.

Scanned my 2 items, hit pay button and I was done. BIL waved his cereal box at me, as if I forgot it. (remember, he's deaf and I'm not great at asl, so we play charades all day)

IIRC, Russia did not ban communist parties, unlike the Warsaw Pact nations, so it has one or more in its parliament to this day. They took a tack more like America's post-Civil War bargain of respect for peace, probably because it was their own indigenous movement too. As I recall, it's a very small party without any power that they just humor the existence of, but it's enough that foreign Marxists with money would presumably be welcome if they kept their heads down (and registered for the draft).

398 Can't stand Bill Maher. He's been a promoter of the lying left at a minimum. But the Democrats have gone so far into lying communism that even he is offended. Bringing shifty, lying Shiff on his show and sets a play. And by choice and stupidity Adam Schiff walks right into it.

MAHER: “This statement from the administration: ‘The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.’ That’s too vague for you?”

SCHIFF: “Totally vague.”

MAHER: “Okay. Because that’s from Obama about Libya.”

Brutal setup. Watch Adam Schiff try to dig himself out of this one.

*373 My coffee maker stopped working this morning. Bummer!*

Lt. Bookman: You got any coffee?
Jerry: Coffee?
Lt. Bookman: Yeah, coffee.
Jerry: No, I don't drink coffee.
Lt. Bookman: Yeah, you don't drink coffee? How about instant coffee?
Jerry: No, I don't have-
Lt. Bookman: You don't have any instant coffee?
Jerry: Well, I don't normally-
Lt. Bookman: Who doesn't have instant coffee?
Jerry: I don't.
Lt. Bookman: You buy a jar of Folger's Crystals, you put it in the cupboard, you forget about it. Then later on when you need it, it's there. It lasts forever. It's freeze-dried. Freeze-dried crystals.
Jerry: Really? I'll have to remember that.

401 385 Let's all just set our clocks to Zulu time. Earth circumference is 24,000 miles. 360/24 = 15, so every 15 degrees W. or E.on the equator is one hour.

I'm retired. But even if I were not, I still wouldn't care what time it is. In the winter, it's dark. In the summer, it's light. It changes by at least 6 minutes a day this time of year, so who gives one fat rat's ass what time the clock says?

But DST is stupid.

I'm so glad utoob stopped building playlists for non-subscribers! If I watched just ONE vid of anything, the "suggestions" would fill with more of the same, and persist until I clear all cookies.

Now? If I keep the tab open, it's business as usual with all the suggestions. If I close the tab-- That's it, clean slate next time! I love it! And utoob thinks this may inconvenience me. Nah, don't think so. Heh.

I actually think the suit is rather attractive. It's the gay and fake crap "styling" it that makes it just awful. I mean, WTF?

Yeah. There actually *was* a tiny jar of instant, way in back of the cabinet. Not enough left in it to make a single cup! Who would put a nearly empty jar back into a kitchen cabinet? (hint: not me)

416 I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Glendar Safety Hub for their support and guidance during a very painful and stressful experience involving my lost cryptocurrency.
When I realized I had lost access to my funds, I felt hopeless and emotionally drained. I did not know who to trust or where to turn. Glendar Safety Hub, through seftyhub@gmail.com, treated my situation with compassion, patience, and deep understanding.
They took time to listen to my story and carefully explained the proper and lawful steps involved in crypto recovery. They also helped me understand how blockchain transactions are traced and why honest recovery services must follow strict procedures.
What touched me most was their strong concern for my safety. They repeatedly reminded me never to share my private keys or wallet recovery phrase, and they educated me on how scammers often target victims who are desperate.
Their support helped restore my hope and confidence. I truly recommend
