Times staffer: which photo of Trump should we use

Times editor: the weird one

I literally can’t imagine begin this depraved

*nods knowingly* ah, of course. The Torment Nexus Award

Separating TCM from the library acquired to program it (and other Turner nets) is worrisome, because TCM itself owns no films.

A creative/licensing relationship may remain w/ Warner Bros., as was the plan when the WBD split was announced, but even that won't provide a longterm path forward. #WBD

The front cover of the official FIFA 2000 soundtrack album with Robbie Williams.

I thought it was one of those unofficial compilations people put together, but nope!

I played the hell out of the PS1 version the last two years of college. Fond memories, those.

There was an officially licensed double-disc soundtrack released in Europe!

Two hours??????

I give it six months before he’s donning a military uniform and giving four-hour speeches from balconies.

Okay, so maybe the trajectory of the Clippers was foreseeable in hindsight

Futurism Groxxing Elon Musk’s Grok Is Doxxing Home Addresses of Everyday People Grok is a stalker's best friend. Image: Elon Musk doing a gesture that looks a whole lot like a Nazi salute over a bunch of censored information about private citizens, generated by his chatbot, Grok. By Maggie Harrison Dupré, Joe Wilkins Published Dec 4, 2025 9:05 AM EST

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

Also The Onion of the 1990s was other worldly

Giannis looks emotionally spent on the bench before heading to the locker room. I think he knows something is wrong. I sure hope this isn't as bad as it looked.

Fulnecky: I would rather have my integrity and give my true opinion and get a zero on an assignment than have to lie about what I really believe.

Grift Phase Two: Fox News

Here is the play in which Giannis Antetokounmpo was injured.

The #Bucks are calling it a right calf strain.

it's important to recognize that this systemic devaluation & dismissal of qualified, capable disabled students is by design. many fall victim to it after a lifetime of similar devaluations & dismissals.

this mechanism weeds out future disabled scholars & continues cycles of academic ableism.
