I just keep staring at this picture. His hat. His little backpack. The hand holding it like a claw.

I find this unbearably beautiful as an expression of the joy that comes from making art together as human beings.

This is what the AI dickheads will never understand and never feel.

Don’t care if this is fake or not. It’s very sweet. Also a good reminder to always lead with empathy.

this is genuinely incredible

Tech Billionaire Forced to Rename Humongous Yacht After Realizing It Spelled Something Horrible Backwards Oracle founder Larry Ellison named his 191-foot superyacht "Izanami," only to change his mind after finding out what it spelled backwards.

Real life is The Onion

Ellison names his megayacht "Izanami" -- then reads the name backwards

He could just turn it off Why is anyone still carrying water for the worst guy on Earth?

Took me all of 0.2 seconds to think of a much easier and better solution than Congress creating a “legal safe harbor for responsibly testing AI models for CSAM.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...

"They made me feel really old,” he says. “They were like, ‘What is a wolf and why is it on parade?’ And I was like, ‘I hate both of you.’ And I was like, ‘Feist? 1,2,3,4?’ And they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, we watched that on Sesame Street.’ And I was like, ‘Again, I’d like to push you down a flight of stairs. Your youth enrages me.’”

“And that’s why you always drink your milk”

This is rad. Bodacious. Tubular even. Love that there’s a 120 Minutes channel. Also that there are era-appropriate ads.
