A screenshot of a Facebook comment section in which a man named Larry Bushart has posted three memes: In the first, a sopranos screen of Tony being told “Charlie Kirk died.” Tony replies “who gives a shit?” In the second, the “change my mind table” with Kirk, mid-bullet, sits. The banner says THEY NEED TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. CHANGE MY MIND.” In the third, an AI-distorted trump face says “we have to get over it.”

A Tennessee man has been arrested for threats of mass violence for posting memes on Facebook.

Windows Notepad, the native simple text editor, now has formatting options and a Copilot button.

Tumblr post from user Sapphixxx which reads: I think the moment that convinced me the operating logic of our society is truly fucked in a way that cannot merely be reformed was after that eclipse in 2017 when the articles started coming out about how much money had been lost by productivity dropping from people stopping momentarily to watch it happen.
