The part of the election runup where every day brings videos of Trump getting up in front of some battleground audience in his dumb hat and going "frankly you're terrible people, really disgusting. A bunch of stupid people and their awful kids. [long break for laughter and applause] Ugly as shit,"

My ex got really sick while she was in law school at Cornell and had to move back to Canada. I took care of her for almost a year. She is being asked to do like ten times the amount of work to be readmitted to Cornell than these frat bros had to do and it is making me insane.

Netflix's new reality show "Wonka's Golden Ticket" uses AI Gene Wilder as its host. The beloved comedian passed away in 2016, but his voice lives on in AI form. At least Netflix didn't use AI to create the new Oompa Loompas. What do you think of this AI resurrection? Let us know in the comments 👇

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

First Lions game of the season, which means I get to expose myself to the horrors of American ads in a purple state for the first time all year 😀

I am serious that today’s journalism ecosystem would be fooled if they played war of the worlds on the radio. It would be on CNN within hours

i spend a lot of my time each day in Microsoft Fucking Sharepoint so i'm not exactly unsympathetic when guys overcalibrate from a few good claude responses and start shouting from the rooftops that AI will free us from the shackles of corporate tech stack tyranny. but i don't think it's true

Why is our head of government making a PragerU video

Disturbing, offensive, but perhaps fitting that Carney is seeking (much like far-right groups!) to rehab Sir John A’s reputation into that of a Great Uniter, rather than someone who engaged in horrific crimes against Indigenous people and Chinese immigrants (in part to build this project!)

good morning mr president, we have that ai video of you playing quarterback in the super bowl that youve been demanding but we need to reiterate once again that we have 11 days of oil left

Something Shakespearean about one of the ten richest people in America building a hundred-million dollar arena for himself, getting really excited about how many bathrooms it has, and then getting himself banned from it for a full year just for doing some light salary cap circumvention.
