As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

A national treasure of a journalist & especially fine human just posted some of his work for free ⬇️

The men's hockey final was fun to watch. Almost as fun as the hockey final.

Enormous congratulations to Dr. Öztürk!

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his 'Adopt Me' backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he's featured has found a forever home.

Never mind, it's everything. I'm just angry at everything.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

"The Rich People's Feelings Meter indicates that rich people are feeling great! That's all that matters! Who cares if a few disposable little girls were disposed of? You're rich, you shouldn't be malfunctioning like this."

happy international day of women and girls in stem

the people who spread the “female brains are bad at math and spatial reasoning” lies should be tried at the Hague

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

"This is a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction."

Baron wasn't on the right side of history either w.r.t. Felicia Sonmez, but this is very well stated and I agree with a lot of it.

awww these purr-buckets sure do need a helping hand! Glad I saw this post. I hope they get everything they need ❤️

who the hell called them "podcast hosts with whom I've developed an unhealthy parasocial relationship" and not

A photo of a bunch of NASA research documents, with titles like "STRUCTURAL MARGINS OBSERVED IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO EXCEEDANCE", "PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF UNEXPECTED WOBBLE IN A RIGIDLY NON-WOBBLING SYSTEM", "OBSERVED PERFORMANCE OF COMPONENTS KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN INSTALLED BACKWARDS", "COGNITIVE LOAD IMPLICATIONS OF ACRONYMS REFERRING TO OTHER ACRONYMS", "THRMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MATERIALS DESCRIBED AS 'PROBABLY INFLAMMABLE'", "ON THE REPEATED SURVIVAL OF SYSTEMS NEVER INTENDED TO WORK", "THE EFFECT OF CLIPBOARD ON PERCEIVED AUTHORITY IN TEST ENVIRONMENTS", "MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SUBSTANCES EXPOSED TO REPEATED MEETINGS", "ANOMALOUS RESULTS WHICH PERSIST DESPITE STRONG MANAGEMENT DISAPPROVAL", and "A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE MOON'S APPARENT DISINTEREST IN OUR ACTIVITIES"

Some terrifically titled papers from a discovered collection of NASA research documents found in a skip

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

This gave me a badly-needed smile today! :-D

a google search for a bunch of AI products, but the word AI is replaced with "pants", featuring hits like "Create Your Own App with pants" and "Build pants-powered-tools with Retool pants"

a google search of a bunch of youtube video results, but the word AI is replaced with "pants", featuring hits like "I Tested 100+ pants Tools, These 11 Will Make you Rich in 2026"

I made a Chrome extension that replaces all instances of the word "AI" with "pants"

ooooooof amen (to that second sentence)

We have an update on Charlie’s newfound love of printing.

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

That's wonderful! Congratulations!

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.

See? We just need to talk to each other.

The amber bead contains a prehistoric scream. I wear it to job interviews. "Interesting necklace," the hiring manager notes. "Family heirloom." I squeeze it. The scream leaks out—subsonic, primal. Her pupils dilate. Ancient fear responses activate. "You're hired," she whispers, not knowing why. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

Man 1 walking behind me in Tottenham: Feels end of days.
Man 2: Yes.
Man 1: So I might as well tell you.
Man 2: What?
Man 1: (inhales) That I love you.
Long pause.
Man 1: You don’t feel the same.
Man 2: Of course I do you silly sausage I’m just trying not to cry.
