tfw you make your error flag on your ai prompt script "uh oh spaghettios" and the script fails every time
a long series of ai responses including ""Haha! Indeed. ""Uh oh, SpaghettiOs"" is a classic phrase, often used to acknowledge a small mistake or mishap. It's lighthearted and fun!" and "Okay, "Uh oh SpaghettiOs" is a fun, playful expression often used to acknowledge a minor mistake or an awkward situation."

i know most of our readership is online but it’s hard not to get excited to see your byline on an A1. today was my first time with a NYT A1 byline and it was both a lead byline and above the fold. i still love print. now where can i get a copy in LA?
Today’s New York Times front page. An article on the front page of today’s New York Times titled “Rise in killings by police dims Floyd’s legacy” by Steven Rich, Tim Arango and Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs.

a small Texas county found a way to make money off migrants: arrest them for trespassing, make them post bail to get out of jail, turn them over to ICE, collect forfeited bail money. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...
Over the past four years, the county has refused to return $1.7 million in bail from migrant trespass cases, according to a Times analysis of county budget records obtained through a public records request. The forfeitures are the equivalent of what it would take to pay for the entire sheriff's department for a year, or the county judge and county attorney's office combined for over three years.

arrested development meme format basically describing what it's like to interview with Isaac Chotiner. Text: Isaac Chotiner is calling. He Wants to do an interview. Well did it work for those people? No, It never does, I mean, These people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... ...but it might work for us.
