NYT opinion pieces like “r/AITA said I am the asshole. Here’s why I’m not.”

Until this moment, I was thinking climate change was the biggest threat to civilisation.

You can’t do this. Pizza Soup. You can’t just put two separate nouns together and say hey, this is a whole new thing, I put it in a bag for you. People shouldn’t do such things.

"Canada Strong" is so beneath the potential of "Yes We Canada".

Prime Minister Mark Carney insists "Canada strong" can defy threats from the United States, but his national unity message faced a new reality Tuesday after a separatist election victory in Quebec. u.afp.com/S9Fq

Don't make me tap the sign.

Can't believe* I get to crack this out so soon. *Yes I can.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:

Dear Bastet, please look after our Saffron, as she has done so well in looking after us. You will not find anyone as mighty or kind. She's one of the best. Goodbye Saffron. I will love you in every universe.

It’s election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.

Saffron continues to live her best life with a mix of medications keeping the worst of the cancer at bay. We love her so much.

This is Gerald Rayner levels of clueless. They had one chance folks, and blew it. Does anyone know where we go next?

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Spider-Man Brand New Day was good, but it had one of the biggest "Nah, never mind"-style droppings of a major plot point I have ever seen in film.

Bill Oddie has died aged 85. We'll certainly be thinking of this quote today. #Humanist #Nature #Birdwatching #Humanists #HumanistsUK #BillOddie

Springwatch icon, humanist, and probably the UK's best-loved birdwatcher, Bill Oddie, has died aged 85. Very sad. Thank you for a lifetime of helping us understand nature.

Seeing the Peter Serafinowicz Harry Potter announcement just made me think, once again, about this excellent James Acaster bit from Off Menu.

Hey, UK acting people, it would be great if you just came out and said you were totally cool with transphobia instead of making us all wait for the slow trickle of casting announcements for projects with the very openly transphobic lady to know that you suck.

Folks, if you can't manage an ice-cold shower, a good backup for cooling down is applying the coldest water you can manage to your femoral vein (thigh muscle). That cooler blood will get around the rest of your body.

My neighbour told me the general public keeps eating their prime ministers so I asked how many prime ministers he has and he said he just goes to the majority party and grabs a new one afterwards and I told him it just sounds like he’s feeding prime ministers to the general public

Grown-ups know that no-one is better than Cruijff.

Political ideology is the strongest predictor of Messi-Ronaldo preference. Authoritarians who like short-form video are more likely to think Ronaldo is the GOAT.

The plan is to force users to upload passports because AI has made marketing unverifiable and under 16s don't have IDs.
