Why I wish I hadn’t bought my Samsung OLED TV — The Verge In June 2024, in a dusty TV shop empty of customers save myself, my wife, and my kids, I stared deep into the LG C3 and Samsung S90C. I went back and forth between the two OLED screens for easily 20 m...

“Samsung’s QD-OLED panel itself is phenomenal, if nothing special in 2026. The problem is the software. I would pay Samsung $100, right now, for this “smart” TV to be as dumb as the ones I grew up with. ”

anyway if the dean asks why enrollment was a bit lower this term, gonna tell her that there is a growing body of evidence that interest is strong among the youth

[looks around surreptitiously and chuckles nervously] heh heh, who would do a crazy thing like that?

What if short-track speed skating on the regular track is genius.

Great now we have a Sneetches situation where we won't know at any given moment whether publicly demarcated anti-semitism is defined by presence or absence of the star

Just realized (via googling) that this & the "stop jewish hate"* thing with the painfully cringe ads are somehow separate groups and lol Robert Kraft funds that one

*nobody calls anti-semitism this, it doesn't even make grammatical sense, why are you turning the direct object into the possessive?

there is so much happening in that sentence

really crystallizes what an outstanding loser among losers bovino is

The slow-motion collapse of Russian higher education Независимый правозащитный медиапроект ОВД-Инфо

Yeah things aren't going great in Russian universities right now but I guess still a step up for a dictator's daughter from an even more isolated country

was just about to get to that, just incredible

the older son who the father (apparently) hates is pure Yakov Dzhugashvili sh*t

Ju Ae is the only known child of Kim Jong Un and his wife, Ri Sol Ju. The NIS believes Kim Jong Un has an older son, but this son has never been acknowledged nor shown on North Korean media.

Normal stuff

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Nena: In my song I invented the story of how trigger-happy military leaders shooting down balloons led to global conflict as a cautionary tale

CBP: At long last

Your last sentence there doubles as the worst ever tagline for a high budget big name heist/caper film.

And our media which (as has been noted) is not designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party treats Kushner & Witkoff's meetings with Dmitriev et. al as if they are just slightly unconventional peace negotiations rather than a corrupt mutual enrichment scheme built on Ukrainian sacrifice

They may have extremely low hiring standards but one sine qua non for working in this administration, and for ICE in particular, is the ability & willingness to be performatively cartoonishly evil

Even in this rare acknowledgment they manage to produce a sentence so tortured that I may save it to show my students why they should still (almost) always avoid passive voice.

… sorry [checks notes], why passive voice should always be avoided by some high-profile prospective journalists.

Someone should ask him if he is a Stalinist apologist, since he seems to want to erase the fact that the Gulag emerged out of the концентрационые лагери of the Russian Civil War.

Does Tapper think that the term had never been used before the Holocaust, or does he think that the already several times it had been used (in multiple languages) don't count?

well, the more populated parts of Delaware and NH are in the Philly and Boston media markets respectively, so this doesn't really do that particularly well
(plenty of big cities in the other regions too, of course)

it's definitely better, while still being impressive (derogatory) that they did this without a single city in the NE megalopolis having any input

funny you should mention rivers, I'm part of the team tasked with reigniting the Cuyahoga

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“.

Nika Gvaramia, opposition leader and chair of the Coalition for Changes was released today after spending eight months in prison for refusing to appear before a parliamentary commission.

While some folks downstairs are still complaining about a sporting event and languages they don’t understand. Up here in Canada, the CBC is showing Olympic hockey with play-by-play in Inuktitut. It’s the Canadian experience I didn’t know I needed. ❤️🇨🇦 #olympics #inuktitut

While for most pets it would be considered cruel to lock it up in a closet, a rib is used to being enclosed within a human torso and so when removed feels safer and more protected in a confined space.

also “transform” encompasses both “revolutionize the way a particular type of work is done” and “management is going to try to replace workers with LLMs for things the latter can't actually do effectively [either yet or ever]”
