'Northern Ireland needs guns' Oh, they had guns, Laura. It was kind of a whole thing

humans have known how to construct a shoulder seam for thousands of years, but with AI, we are unlocking untold new ways to fuck it up

My grandpa’s brother and crewmates didn’t die a fiery death when their Lancaster went down in France for you to now “warn” Canadians we shouldn’t express our anger at Trump’s repeated betrayals.

This day in history: Nine years ago today a tiny Bernese Mountain Dog puppy waddled up to a family and melted their heart. That puppy was Bunsen. He would grow up to a be a hero.
