Flashing lights illuminate the scene as a photographer snaps pictures of the mangled corpse. Several yards away, a uniformed officer is vomiting on the sidewalk. An unmarked sedan pulls up, and a detective emerges. Staring down at the body, he slowly removes his sunglasses and whispers, “Found him.”

I do not think it raises that question at all. Nobody in the world thinks it raises that question. But good for you, typing some content.
Tilly Norwood raises the question of who will be the first to win an Oscar for best AI in a leading role
Tilly Norwood Is Expensive, Even for Hollywood
The “synthetic actress” may be cheaper to cast than Leonardo DiCaprio, but AI’s footprint carries major economic and environmental costs.

Ironically this post itself contains a major error as Big Brother did not air until 1999.
Frankly it’s embarrassing how much George Orwell’s “1984” gets wrong about 1984. The publisher should update it to be more accurate, e.g. “Winston heard ‘Eat It’ by Weird Al Yankovic playing on the radio. ‘I’d hate to be Michael Jackson right now!’ he said to Big Brother”

I don’t understand why more people don’t get nipply about dendrochronolgy. It’s like, we’ve determined that the tree used for that beam was growing when Queen Elizabeth I was using Venetian ceruse to cover up her smallpox scars

Also, actors in movies.
The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.

What a fascist. Hitler wanted to cultivate what was good in the human heart too. HITLER. You are HITLER, Jay.
Violence only begets violence. Enduring change comes from building solutions, transforming minds, and cultivating what is good, in the human heart and in the world.

Roxane would no doubt condemn the writer - whose name currently escapes me - who once said, "The problem with freedom of speech is that people think it means freedom from consequences"
It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Ugh. To those of you citing Charlie Kirk’s hypocrisy and reprehensible views as an implied justification for his murder, stop and think: do you really think people should get the death penalty for hypocrisy? Or for having stupid, despicable opinions? Democracy doesn’t work if we can’t speak freely.

Trump, dying: They don’t actually want you to know tomatoes is fruit. The woke pyramid tells you it’s vegetable. We love sandwich. Beautiful turkey, some ham, does very well. The Swiss have been treating us poorly for decades, charging for the whole slice

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Black Yeti Plush. Most people assume that all yetis are white. Is this racist? Yes. Yes, it is.
