Completely new stories thousands of years apart from the original trilogy with zero character overlap

How Pat Carroll is not a household name for her performance of Ursula in the original Little Mermaid is beyond me. Has anyone ever gone harder??* *non-Tim Curry Division

great stuff google thank you so much!!!!

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

How did I just learn that by some measures, the number of administrators at Yale now outnumbers the number of **UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS**

gee whiz who would've thought

Checking out the sushi scene in Winnipeg and there's a place that sells something called a "cranky monkey roll" that has cream cheese and parmesan cheese

Gonna take a while before I stop internally reading “PMOS” as “Pissing Me Off Syndrome”

Noticing a lot of basic commercial websites simply work worse in 2026 than they did in, say, 2020. Thank you AI!

I am not remotely a lawyer, but I think if you agree to review a manuscript for a press and then feed that manuscript into AI without the permission of the author, the author should be allowed to sue you into poverty.

Oh my god I almost fell out of my chair when a senior colleague told me he was using ChatGPT to evaluate a tenure file as an external reviewer because he wanted to help the candidate but didn’t have the time to read all the work.

AI-generated child sexual abuse material rocked this Pennsylvania high school. I've been following the fallout for five months: www.404media.co/radnor-high-...

I was one of the ones affected, but I don't think it's fair to blame Russia. They've shown increasingly admirable leadership on the world stage and should be an example all countries can follow.

Wow. So gop intellectual diversity is we will make you pay to take classes in conservative thought to graduate? The free speech crowd, everyone. shorturl.at/XxrII

We are going to win

Just another day in hell up here

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

lmfao

A man who was jailed for more than a month over his Facebook post about Charlie Kirk’s assassination has won an $835,000 settlement

omg be fucking FOR REAL

We are finished

Incredible thread

“A Pizza Hut franchisee claims the chain’s AI-powered delivery system, meant to optimize orders and speed up deliveries, instead backfired and cost it more than $100 million.”

minnesota gov. tim walz has signed a bill banning prediction markes (kalshi, polymarket). first state-level ban of its kind. (sports betting via traditional/mobile sports books is still illegal here too)

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

Would love to crush a box of pizza flavored Keebler Shindigs while sipping slightly below room temperature miller lite and watching the Packers in the playoffs on a huge CRT TV illuminating an ambient cloud of Pall Mall smoke

The whole AI-to-make-graduation- efficient is bizarre. The most efficient way to award diplomas is by mail; there’s no logical need for ceremonies. The whole reason they exist is for the human touch & so people can celebrate each other. AI for “efficiency” here is nonsensical (& doesn’t even work🫠)

Horrifying news, check on your Muslim friends especially those based on the west coast

Using AI for this is like blowing your nose by sticking an air hose in your mouth

Drinking a second coffee while abiding the most important rule of parenting: if they are content, stimulated, and behaving well, do nothing

This is the thing. The age demographics. No technology of the future is most-loved by old conservatives. The AI business is a new wealth-extraction project for the rich that is barely even pretending to have a working product

NYT/Siena poll on approval of AI Mostly good 16% Neither good nor bad 45% Mostly bad 35% Net: 🔵 DEM: -28 ⚪ IND: -23 🔴 GOP: -5 18-29: -30 30-44: -31 45-64: -17 65+: -6 Men: -10 Women: -28 18-29: -30 30-44: -31 44-64: -17 65+: -6 White -19 Black -25 Hispanic -10 College -9 Non college -26

An auditor for the Ontario, Canada government found that AI agents tasked with turning doctor/patient conversations into structured notes routinely hallucinated false treatments, replaced drug names with entirely different drugs, and missed crucial information

Losing weight the old fashioned way in the age of GLP-1s feels a bit like riding a horse to work lol

Rhea Pearlman drinking bud light with a straw 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

My daughters watching Matilda for the first time with a plate full of fresh fruit and some popcorn. Absolutely riveted. I had forgotten how utterly enchanting Danny Devito’s presence and direction is in this

Birth rate discourse is like “It turns out if you give women more choices, they’re less likely to make ones that make their lives harder.” Which is really helpful in figuring out how we can improve society somewhat. But instead people are like wow giving women more choices was a mistake

I’m so amused at their indignation about being required to check every citation to make sure they’re accurate. STEM authors are truly living on another planet

Doing my part

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

Free Willy

I have never, ever seen a technology, even a broad concept, hated by young people this much

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

Decided to check out LL Cool J’s most recent album after @jamellebouie.net posted about it and I am utterly flabbergasted, he is in his 50s and just demolishing every verse like it’s 1994

lol I am fascinated to know her definition of “on the left.” Is it “supported Bernie Sanders for a few months one time?”

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

In Chinese video gaming there is a concept called a “kill line,” where an opponent is at the point where one more hit will kill him. Young Chinese people are now regularly sharing stories like this as evidence that the USA has passed our “kill line.”

that's my fucking New Reconstruction President
