Also re the OP, is it weird that I didn’t think Henry Cavill was still in “has to be explained who he is in the headline” territory?

I have been spoiled for this as well and I am much happier with this reality than some of the theories people were throwing around.

Yes, all sorts of people were subtweeting, which was a mystifying mass movement until someone finally linked me to the video.

I only found out these guys existed today and now I’m never gonna unsee this.

Felicitations to all and sundry who were in this mystery fandom that went canon, but also: lol.

Did anyone see The Fifth Step? Is it worth doing the NT Live?

The guy behind me on this bus is coughing and then took a long phone call.

In which he called a fantasy league where the last place team each week gets the first pick next time socialism.

Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages.

The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.

Live updates: Israel says Hamas hands over first 7 hostages to Red Cross as part of Gaza ceasefire

The key exchange follows a breakthrough ceasefire after two years of war. U.S. President Donald Trump was also arriving in the region along with other leaders to discuss the U.S.-proposed deal and postwar plans.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

If they wanted to find places where computers can actually help and focus on those it might be one thing. This insistence on putting this absolute bullshit in EVERY APP without letting us opt out instead makes me hope the entire industry gets punted into the sun.

I will not be attempting to recreate this myself but also this could not be a more perfect example of why every AI advance makes me feel unmoored in space & time

Tech: “We’ve invented a way for Excel to add numbers!!!!!!!” *dumps trillions into this failed technology and the data centers to run it*

A tweet from @ZackKorman that says “Copilot in Excel is a global financial crisis waiting to happen.” and shows a spreadsheet where co-pilot has been asked to add 1+2+3 and returned the answer 15

My foot is vibrating is if I were feeling my cell phone ring through it. My cell phone is not ringing or even in my pocket. Is the floor ringing? Or is phantom phone syndrome spreading to my entire body?
