I think we’re all pretending this place isn’t the things we hated about Twitter before the newest things we hate about Twitter. I'm a part of WSKRS, Six Feats Under, Chip and Ironicus, and your thing too if you're nice.

John C Lilly's place on our show is like a racist grandpa on Thanksgiving with the family. He's not invited, we don't talk about him (except to explain why we'd rather not), but we all know he's the reason we exist.
Okay, where exactly did the "Genetically Enhanced Super Dolphin" trope originate from?? I've seen it all over '80's sci-fi. The Dolphins often end up being used as bio-computers/navigators
I had assumed it was David Brin, but there are earlier examples. Who made it popular??

You ever go on a nature walk so good it makes you rethink the entire global economy? And the accidental murder of hundreds?

Over the past few months China has regularly condemned America’s military deployment near Venezuela.
But aside from strong words, what did it do for Nicolás Maduro at his time of need?

Taking actor notes for WSKRS is always like "This guy had a part with no lines last season. This guy will go on to be in one episode of every mid-00s cop show. This guy was in the same things that filmed in Florida as everyone else. Wait, this guy has 500 voice credits? He's in Harvey Birdman?"

I interpret A Stop at Willoughby literally. It's about a funeral parlor that uses psychic beams to convince career men to jump to their deaths nearby, driving up business.

The way almost every murder in Ace Attorney is rooted in a years-previous murder means the last case of the series should be a flashback to the Cain and Abel case, the root of all crime.

I fell for this one and my punishment will be reskeeting Casey Newton
The author of a viral Reddit thread alleging fraud at a food delivery company tried to back up his claim by sending me AI-generated documents. Today I'm publishing those documents in the hopes that it helps other reporter see what we're up against in the age of AI www.platformer.news/fake-uber-ea...

your Constitutional protections in action. US police have been violating civil rights with impunity for decades, and basically all high-minded debate about Constitutional law ignores the reality that very few of us enjoy those protections in practice.

Charlie Kirk was a husband and a father. We heard it over and over again
Only certain types of people get to be husbands and fathers. Some people are simply civilians. Faceless, nameless and without consequence. Civilians die. It's what they do
