At ORD trying to get to Providence. We can’t board because the door is stuck shut on the inbound flight and they can’t get the passengers off.

Bucknell to require all incoming freshmen to demonstrate basic competency with magic 8-ball.
It’s been fun while it lasted: “Purdue University will begin requiring that all of its undergraduate students demonstrate basic competency in artificial intelligence starting with freshmen who enter the university in 2026.”

I once worked with this absolute dipshit who told me about the time he fell asleep at the wheel and drove across a field and crashed into a tree. They had to cut him out with the jaws of life and he lost three days of memories. I asked if he was wearing a seatbelt and he said no…
kids today do not remember what happened when congress said "you should not be able to start your car unless your seat belt is buckled," and frankly until seat belt interlock mandates are back within the Overton Window the whole speed limiter conversation is a bit of a wank innit

Your regular reminder that a lot of your favorite actors are kinda dummies.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.
In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza are both such awful writers that I cannot even enjoy this modern literary scandal, a fucking shame! Halfwits throwing shots at each other across the Algonquin kids table, I’m sick of it!

Sam Altman is clearly an incredible deal maker.
That the outcome of Disney wanting to sue over its IP being used in Sora is that Disney will pay OpenAI $1 billion (an investment) and let them use 200 Disney, Marvel & Star Wars characters in AI slop videos is wild.

I'm a firm believer that microwaves should only have one button (+30 sec) and that's it.
Poll: you set the microwave for big even numbers (30,60, 120 etc) or you go for the lucky ones (37 seconds, 73 seconds etc)?

Not only is this going to cost the city money to put the signs up but also to keep a cop there 24/7 to be on the lookout for the inevitable vandalism. I vote "fuck off, ass clown."
GOP Rep. Nancy Mace just introduced a bill to redesignate Black Lives Matter Plaza in front of the White House as “Charlie Kirk Freedom of Speech Plaza”
The bill requires at least two Metro-style signs be erected with the name.
