“I get to do this!”
Conan O’Brien is genuinely excited to host the Oscars for the first time — but also thoroughly worried. We spoke with him ahead of the ceremony on Sunday as he made final preparations.

It’s gonna be too little, too late. We need that asteroid NOW
At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.

Mesmo que todos os nazis e chalupas se mudassem para aqui estaria muito mais confortável, neste espaço, pois estaríamos conjuntamente a retirar o poder ao Lex Luthor da nossa dimensão.

Quero manter-me solidário com a luta das mulheres na obtenção de direitos iguais aos dos homens mas ninguém me tira da cabeça que a organização de "Amigos Secretos" parte sempre delas e isso é uma coisa que não consigo perdoar.

This is absolutely BRILLIANT.
The Finnish gov knows that educating its kids to critically think so they can understand the concept of actual fake news will protect its democracy.
The Aust gov needs to consider adding this type of leaning to the Aus curriculum.

Finland is winning the war on fake news. What it’s learned may be crucial to Western democracy

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.
As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

New Twitter ToS, stating it can train Grok on anything you post - including your art - goes into effect this Friday.
If you needed a final reason to leave Twitter let this be it
The latest TOS agreement says X has the legal right to use your info to train it’s AI even if you aren’t a paid subscriber
He’s also using the Texas legislature to make sure you can’t sue
