Explain a film badly: Factory owner with unpaid workforce taken from their homeland oversees a series of industrial accidents, primarily with child victims. Seeks to avoid liability by gifting business to survivors of facility tour, simultaneously causing roof damage.

Just had a beer that “is brewed for men who lead where others follow” and so on. So much guff. Some Belgian marketing executives presumably thought it sounded good. Kwaremont Pittig Blonde from De Brabandere. 4/10 will not be buying again.

Will quantum be bigger than AI? The highly complex technology is increasingly being tipped to transform computing.

This is an incredible article because at no point does it even try to properly explain what it's talking about. The closest it gets to that is the line, and I quote, "quantum is about particles behaving in weird ways"

I honestly had not even noticed until I saw the image you posted beneath the original. At which point I went, hey wtf?

Screenshot reads, "A Carnivorous ‘Death Ball’ Has Emerged from the Deep This newly-discovered species is being called the “death-ball sponge” for its appendages, which end in orbs and are covered in micro-hooks meant to capture prey."

Not now, carnivorous death ball

Quoll. They look like so much fun. Think they're pretty social though so might need a group.

List of countries with the best reputation, showing change between 2024 and 2025.

According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world.

The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

And with a mighty bun he was free.

The jury deliberated for SEVEN hours on the sandwich case, and I will bet money six of them were just talking about different good kinds of sandwiches they’ve had and how they’d throw.

I see the Welsh and the Finns are looking on the bright side as usual.

We know from scientific research that up to 75% of intersex people with varations of sex chromosomes never become aware of this during their life.

You, a boring cis woman, might find yourself in the man section of a DHS holding facility and being charged with fraud just by traveling to the US.

This is another book that you absolutely should read. An amazing near-future setting with an even more amazing setting nested within it.

So. To recap. Discord, a company NOT included in Australia's social media age restriction law, had its age verification partner breached and leaked around 68,000 Australian PII details. Even though it isn't included in the ban. Which hasn't started yet. Such a great start before we've even started.

There are some bloody mental traditions in these islands.
