It was just Scooter Libby encouraging Judith Miller to perjure herself. Simpler times.
Of all the scribbled sentences that have converged to create the Valerie Plame affair, the most remarkable, in literary terms, may belong to Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney’s recently deposed chief of staff. “Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work—and life,” he wrote in a jailhouse note to Judith Miller.

There's precedence for this. Russia dropped 3 zeroes in the late 90s.
In January 1994, the government banned domestic use of the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies for purchases of goods and services in a bid to halt the ruble’s slide. In October of that year, the ruble plummeted 27 percent in a single day of trading that became known as "Black Tuesday" before the central bank stepped in to prop up the national currency. Before the Russian government lopped off three zeroes from the ruble in January 1998, a single U.S. dollar was worth around 6,000 rubles. Following the move, $1 was worth 6 rubles.

This whole thing, but especially these two lines: "the makers of AI aren’t damned by their failures, they’re damned by their goals. They want to build a genie to grant them wishes, and their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again."

Creating is human. Why would I want to give it up?
I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response. Miyazaki said, “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.” Scam Altman said we can surround the solar system with a Dyson Sphere to hold data centers. Miyazaki is right, and Altman is wrong. Miyazaki tells stories that blend the ordinary and the fantastic in ways people find deeply meaningful. Altman tells lies for money. And I’m glad they’re lies. Because the makers of AI aren’t damned by their failures, they’re damned by their goals. They want to build a genie to grant them wishes, and their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again. They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. Their dream is to invent new forms of life to enslave.

I cackled at how darkly funny "or just skipping the word altogether" is.
From the linked article: Picture Power! It's not hard to find examples of the cueing system. A quick search on Google, Pinterest or Teachers Pay Teachers turns up plenty of lesson plans, teaching guides and classroom posters. One popular poster has cute cartoon characters to remind children they have lots of strategies to use when they're stuck on a word, including looking at the picture (Eagle Eye), getting their lips ready to try the first sound (Lips the Fish), or just skipping the word altogether (Skippy Frog).

I am "I don't really know who Sabrina Carpenter is, but I definitely felt some kind of way (complimentary) when her latest album came up in the banner of my library app" years old.
A screenshot of the Hoopla library app entry for Sabrina Carpenter's album Man's Best Friend on which she is portrayed kneeling in a short black dress and heels in front of a man shown torso-down in a black suit who is pulling her hair. She is reaching toward his leg.

I'd settle for Mot, if we're talking blue guys
Mot the barber from TNG. He's a Bolian. I don't think anybody knows if that line goes all the way around or not.

My kid told me that she could prove that the thumb didn't count as a finger. She gave a thumbs up and then didn't quite raise her middle finger. This inspired my new favorite way to flip the bird.

I'm pretty sure "Leo" tells us everything the new pope wants us to know.
From the Wikipedia entry on Pope Leo XIII: He is well known for his intellectualism and his attempts to define the position of the Catholic Church with regard to modern thinking. In his famous 1891 encyclical Rerum novarum, Pope Leo outlined the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and the formation of trade unions, while affirming the rights to property and free enterprise, opposing both socialism and laissez-faire capitalism. With that encyclical, he became popularly titled as the "Social Pope" and the "Pope of the Workers", also having created the foundations for modern thinking in the social doctrines of the Catholic Church, influencing the thoughts of his successors.

This looks like the dumbest motherfucker alive, so I'd be tempted to say they did him dirty, but knowing the Times and given how dumb this MFer clearly is, I'm betting it's the best photo of him that exists.

Because of the kind of art dork I am, I had to check if I also had a picture of that Pollock. And yes, it's there amongst all the pictures of art that made me feel something at the MOMA.
A Jackson Pollock splatter painting centered amongst other works and a crowd of onlookers at the NYC MOMA.
