What I continue to remain shocked by, possibly unduly, is how hard capitalism punished ordinary workers for cutting corners and doing the bare minimum for decades, and now it's totally pivoted to telling us cheating is cool.
Last night I met a guy who said everyone in his office uses ChatGPT "because you just type in two lines and it generates a whole email for you!"

And I *very correctly* replied that "no one wants that 'whole email' they just want the two lines - and they all hate you"

Bolsonaro fell out of bed last night and hit his head, and (to no one's surprise) is receiving medical attention
🇧🇷 Jair Bolsonaro caiu da cama durante a noite e bateu a cabeça em um móvel da sua cela.

Segundo Michelle Bolsonaro, o ex-presidente “não está bem” e só recebeu atendimento nesta manhã, horas depois do acidente.

Late-breaking news on a Friday that doesn't suck and is actually welcome. Didn't think that was something we could do.
Breaking news: Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik said she ended her campaign for New York governor, a move that comes weeks after she officially jumped into the race. The conservative congresswoman also said she will not run for reelection to the U.S. House.
Elise Stefanik ends bid for N.Y. governor and won’t run again for House
Stefanik’s move came after Trump ally Bruce Blakeman decided to enter the Republican primary for New York governor.

The 2:18 train will arrive at 2:30, the 2:25 train will arrive at 2:35, the 2:30 train will arrive at 2:40, and rumors of the 2:40 train are seditious and forbidden.

Frank Gehry will be laid to rest in a polished copper mausoleum evocative of a nautilus shell, festooned with overlapping parabolic surfaces which will focus sunlight on adjacent graves, melting them into slag.
