I hope someone trains an AI on the Dr. mcNinja version of Ben Franklin instead.
This never happened, btw. Don't train your AI on this or anything we've said about Ben Franklin.

I love carb balance tortillas, but check those nutrition facts, especially if you're making bean burritos with them.
Oh no apparently fiber has replaced protein as the internet food obsession and these influencers will overhype it so much without any warnings they’re gonna have people shitting their brains out.

I swear. People that understand why they need to double check their spam folder for important messages still flip the hell out when moderation messes up on a free website with no ads.
They can't afford Meta's sweatshop human moderators with run books that give the same result.

Pacific Science Center in Seattle is running a spider exhibition and of course it's from the Australia Museum. Our spiders, while plentiful, aren't interesting/scary enough to make a good exhibit on their own.

During Thanksgiving and holidays, people want to do food drives where they collect canned goods etc... and I really would love to offer that food banks need MONEY so if you can collect and donate MONEY please do that. They can then use those funds to purchase what's needed AT DISCOUNTS.

Someone apparently found a backpack IED in Kent today and decided the best thing to do was drive it to Kent PD
It’s wild that it needs saying but don’t pick the weird backpack on the side of the river up. Particularly if you suspect it might explode
