This one is so completely plausible that it’s not really satire.

3D animation did not kill the traditionally animated feature film, THIS did. in 2D animation, you need that rigid pipeline and solid leadership to finalize things before moving on. 3D got huge because it allowed more wiggle room, but that's not 3D's fault if you miss 2D features, T H I S is why

it’s important to find time in your day to just switch your mind off and do nothing. it might be first thing in the morning, it might be last thing at night, or - and this is surprisingly popular - it might be when you get to the ticket barriers at waterloo. just take care of yourself, guys.

This is an all-time great entry in the pantheon of "Angry Brits in local news", love everything about it, from the complete lack of self-awareness to the attempt to give a village green the Speak to the Manager treatment

Do not go to the USA if you can absolutely avoid it. It’s not safe, and your travel insurance won’t cover stuff like this.

Kind of funny that a million tanks being rolled into DC on train tracks gave people an ominous feeling but then the actual parade ended up looking like a cobbled-together pisspoor display of creaky equipment and soldiers who looked like ragtag conscripts who dont know how to march

I know NPR is terrified of losing funding, but qualifying germ theory as ‘widely accepted’ - as if there’s some level of doubt - is malpractice. If you’re this captured you’re no longer a trustworthy news source.

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

Not only does the senator identify himself but it’s pretty incredible to think that ‘we didn’t recognise a sitting US senator for the state that we are visiting’ is somehow a reasonable defence

The National Guard and Marines are in Los Angeles, CA to "liberate the city from socialists and burdensome leadership"? Isn't that the definition of a coup?

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

In the Disney lawsuit, 10 pages are dedicated to citing the work we did. In pursuit of this evidence, Midjourney banned me 3 times and updated their ToS. The first ban encouraged me to dig a lot deeper, so I'd like to congratulate CEO David Holz on his massive unforced error.

Just to give you an idea of how dumb this is: if we doubled the speed of our fastest spacecraft, then doubled it again, it's still take 1,500 years to reach the nearest star. If we could travel at the fastest speed possible (which nothing with mass can) it'd take until 2030 to reach one star.

There are so many things I see in this big beautiful world right now that seem... Broken. Unfair. Cruel. As an individual it seems impossible to know what to do about it. I think that's been a defining feeling of the 21st century. Enormous access to information yet almost complete impotence.

White Lightning (1993-2010): A hard "white cider"--a colorless cider made with apple pulp and corn syrup--sold primarily in the UK. It was noted for its low price and for being sold in 3-liter bottles. D/c in response to a national panic over teen drinking, it became synonymous with "social decay"
