Claude (which like any AI has a knowledge cutoff date a couple of months ago) finds out about the newest Middle East War during a research (screenshot from Reddit).

It only occurred to me recently that outside of the kitchen, and one shelf above the boiler which I’m too short to reach, our home came with zero storage space. Zilch. Nada. Suddenly felt less guilty for how cluttered it always seems

β€œGrievances” here is just β€œissues which might motivate a vote” same as any other group. I, a white man in a Labour constituency, share the views that Labour’s Gaza policy was dreadful, that Modi is an authoritarian and that Reform is far-right!

They want $60 for an hour at the axe throwing place? For that money I can buy a case of beer and my own axe, and throw it at whatever I want until I'm arrested again

Happy Meldrew Point Day, Cameron Diaz! Today you are 19,537 days old and have reached your Meldrew Point - the age of Richard Wilson on the day One Foot In The Grave was first aired on Jan 4, 1990. I don’t believe it!

Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

i do think there is a good investigative article in games that have tried to fix this and concluded that using the items is unimportant compared to losing the thrill of collecting them

There was one in the village where I grew up, which I’m now totally priced out of. Entered the competition but glad I didn’t win tbh, it was more an art piece than a functioning house and would have been totally impractical to live in

A comic of a bird singing about somebody eating their babies, and a crow responding that they did and they'd do it again.

And below them, it is a man listening to a cd of their conversation entitled "relaxing bird sounds"
