Bar graph depicting approximate live viewership of the half time shows (Bad Bunny's NBC Broadcast, and Kid Rock's TPUSA Youtube stream, respectively). The Bad Bunny bar graph surpasses the 100 million viewer limit of the graph and has smashed through the title of the graph, throwing letters askew while the Kid Rock bar graph doesn't quite break the Puppy Bowl viewership threshold of ~6 million viewers. In the background in faint letters, it says "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE"

A Kid Cuisine box, but instead it says Dad Cuisine featuring Pre-Nibbled Oat Bars, Crust Removed from Sandwich, Leftover Cereal Milk (Now with Random Floatie Bits!). The character on the box is riding a ferris wheel and saying "Dad will finish it!". Other parts of the box say "Don't let that go to waste!", "It's still good, I'll eat it.", and Room Temp - It's probably fine.

Quilicura, Chile, one of the communities I wrote about in EMPIRE OF AI, has launched a brilliant initiative to inspire more responsible AI prompting. Today, don't use AI; ask the townspeople instead: quili.ai. So heartened to see this creative act of resistance.

I’ve had some friends in the past couple years say they don’t go out to protest because they don’t think it does anything, but the people of Minnesota have given us a solid example of how important it is to exercise that right persistently during a time when that right is threatened.

Men only want one thing and for some reason it’s rabidly tearing 6 to 8 paper towels out of the dispenser just to dry their hands in the public restroom??

Has nobody made a horror movie where a killer shows up at a cabin after freezing New England rain, and the rest of it is just slow speed foot chase scenes where they're all trying not to fall, and by the end you realize the real killer was the black ice?
