Everybody thought it was ridiculous in Karate Kid 3 when a billionaire ceo put his whole life and career on hold to try to defeat a teenager in a martial arts tournament, but at this point Elon is like a week away from that.

Kid has an English assignment, where school has kids first submit essay to an "AI checker." Kid did not use AI. AI checker says the use of the word "devoid" magically turned essay into 18% AI written. Changing "devoid" makes it drop to 0%. We're spending time "un-AI-ing" an essay that has no AI.

60 years ago today, my whanaunga Charles ‘Allan’ Aberhart was murdered in a hate crime in Hagley Park. The jury in Allan’s murder trial let off all six of the young men who set out that night to “belt up a queer”, because their futures were deemed more important than Allan’s right to justice.

Andrew Scott deserves a boatload of awards. He absolutely owned ALL OF US STRANGERS. Everyone else was terrific as well.

The Onion would like to congratulate its owner, G/O Media, for standing firm in its return-to-office mandate, as we can think of nowhere more conducive to best-in-class thought leadership than a fluorescent-lit room populated with the abandoned desks of terminated colleagues.

There are 28 days left until our contract expires. ReSkeet to let G/O Media know you support The Onion Union and its right to a fair contract! ✊✊

When I was growing up it was hard to convince older people you couldn't just show up and apply for a job anymore. They just couldn't wrap their heads around it. Now we tell younger people to "just Google it" without appreciating that all the search engines are broken.

This is like a pure wild example of one of the things that drives me maddest: presumption that there exists a perfect course of action (not my job to know what that is, just to assert it’s real) and then subsequent blame of Democrats for not doing the unspecified thing.
