AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

The crux of their argument is that if they're found liable, then the consequences of their own actions that no one forced them to take could ruin them and the rest of their industry that undertakes similar practices.

To which I say motherfucker did you never hear about Napster

"don't you know who my daddy is?" is the most loser energy you can possibly emit, especially in a political campaign

What the actual hell.

Famed NASA astronaut and Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell has died at age 97 Lovell commanded the mission that almost ended in disaster after an explosion that threatened the crew's oxygen and electrical supply. The inspiring story of their survival was made into a hit movie.

JUST IN: Lovell commanded the mission that almost ended in disaster after an explosion that threatened the crew's oxygen and electrical supply. The inspiring story of their survival was made into a hit movie.

Update: he got fired after less than two months.

Lmao he thinks New Yorkers are going to be mad at Zohran for getting a good deal on an apartment and hanging onto it for as long as possible. Possibly the #1 backstory that will get New Yorkers to respect someone

The goal here is to eliminate trans people's ability to exist in public.

But note that it will also have the impact of being able to police anyone whose gender presentation does not match what they believe it is, because how do you even know someone is trans?

Twitter screenshot: Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment. You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich. Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it. We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don’t need it. Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out. posted: 3:15 PM · Aug 8, 2025

Grandma-killer says what? (This is deeply deranged and Mamdani got the apartment when he was making $47K)

Oh yeah?

Well, I call on Andrew Cuomo to get fucked.

In Dayton, Ohio, vacant positions for purchasing agents resulted in delays in acquiring hundreds of prosthetics, according to an internal VA report from May. Kasperowicz said the hospital has recently cut processing time for such orders by more than half.

Prez Trump has said, "We love our veterans. We're going to take good care of them."

We got internal docs showing VA cuts & chaos have doctors and others to flee.

In one hospital, lack of staff has led to delays in acquiring *hundreds of prosthetics.*

This is like when old or weird people see a father with kids and are all "oh are you babysitting today?" No i'm parenting

that's when you know their dad never changed a diaper

they want to be accepted as mainstream so badly. people like gutfeld, hannity, glen beck, limbaugh (still dead) wanted to be comedians but couldnt hack it so they took the easier course - be a right wing media asshole. but in their hearts they want to be in the mainstream circle.

i worked in 30 rock off and on for many years. i heard stories about famous people time to time. and one thing i can tell you is 100% true: everyone hates jimmy fallon. everyone.

i used to film on the same floor as the tonight show and i would loudly talk about how jimmy fallon should be punched in the mouth.

not so fun fact: jimmy fallon play video games in his dressing room with some of his tonight show writers. they have to let him win or he'll make everyone's life hell.

Lina told me this story a long time ago back when she worked at NBC and I haven't shared it because I'm not a gossip but I want you all to know that I have never stopped thinking about it once

Remember that eyeball-eating infection that got into eyedrops at the factory?

Yeah, that's going to be every day from now on.

so the stupid canadian age verification bill is back in parliament so call your local MPs and tell them it’s bad and why it’s bad and don’t be ashamed to pander to them based on if they’re a tory or grit or otherwise - if you frame it in a way that mirrors their ideology, they might remember better

Suburban man retreats to safe space.

I have to buy a new agitator plate for my dishwasher. I googled the part number and got Amazon results. Even though I don't shop on Amazon anymore I am obsessed with one star reviews. So many reviews were like "this isn't even a real part" or "it broke my washing machine."

Amazon sucks so bad

I cannot handle this agitator plate saga I have found myself in the middle of.

eBay is driving me crazy. They want me to give up. That's how these scams work. They bank on people being too annoyed to deal with it. But I am too invested. There's principalities involved bro

So I bought a new agitator plate at like 3 in the morning when i was half delirious with insomnia. I bought it on ebay because I thought it was an OEM part.

Well whaddya know, the dude on ebay is some guy from israel who legit just sent me an amazon gift for the agitator plate. With a receipt. SCAM

MVM, the contractor under Trump 1.0 caught holding unaccompanied children in an office building and making them bathe in the sink, is at it again; this time they held a woman and her son at a hotel for days, incommunicado, despite the ICE locator claiming she was detained multiple states away.
