YouTube video by Alan Pafenbach Volkswagen "Pink Moon"

The reality is that studios can spend the next 10 years throwing hundreds of millions of dollars into AI-produced, algorithm-driven "content" and yet they'll never produce a work even a fraction as emotionally evocative as a 90 second Volkswagen ad from 1999

Epstein controlled what medical care they could receive.

I’m not the world’s fourth-richest man so I don’t mean to speak out of turn here, but I think that firing your full-time foreign correspondents right before a major war might not have been a particularly wise move in terms of, you know, getting or keeping subscribers

A crazy time to NOT HAVE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS!!!

every time corporate media further consolidates it makes independent journalism feel even more precarious. like a kitten standing in front of a 747.

I feel bad for everyone who says "I asked ChatGPT for advice" instead of just adding "reddit" to whatever what was their search term or topic

Another property owner, who said he was calling in to the hearing from Colorado, noted that he owned six homes in San Diego County, although he didn't indicate whether they are located in the city. "I just don't appreciate you guys stepping on my property rights," Kevin Hastings said. "I worked hard for those to achieve the American dream, I tried renting these out. You know, renters are dirty, they've got kids, they're always destroying the place. They need to go get their own place and stop being poor is what it really comes down to.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a commenter unintentionally make such a strong case for the policy they’re opposing. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/02/25/p...

Candace Owens spun conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk's death. Now she’s targeting his widow. The podcaster aired “Bride of Charlie” on YouTube and billed it as an investigation into Erika Kirk — but there is no evidence to support her fevered, fact-free claims.

Ultra-wealthy buyers are combining 2–3 historic townhomes into mega-mansions designed to feel like suburban estates — in the middle of the Manhattan.

could you imagine being a teenage girl right now amid the 90s revival and your mom is Melissa Auf der Maur !?

once your email storage is full you should be allowed to graduate from it. no more emails for you. you’ve seen enough emails. you’re free now

Corgan and Love have their own complicated history, but for Auf der Maur, they are simply “my grunge parents.” As that period of music waned — as did her dalliance with Grohl, whose gushing love faxes (oh, the ’90s!) are quoted in the book — Auf der Maur regrouped in Manhattan. Her life there was not exactly tame; she lived in a notorious downtown brownstone, with Natasha Lyonne on the top floor, the photographer (and Corgan ex) Yelena Yemchuk as a roommate, and Wainwright in the basement apartment. The place “was firmly embedded in the New York scene,” he said. “I made out with one or two members of the Strokes there.”
