One of the funniest features of Urban Dictionary is that looking up basically any first name will just bring up pages upon pages of occasionally edgy compliments, probably written by teenagers with a crush.

Wondering if this is a common experience:
When I listen to a song early in the morning, it somehow sounds much faster than when I listen to it later during the day.
It's probably just me still being tired, but if my brain had trouble keeping up, shouldn't it seem to go by faster instead of slower?

They say that originally George Lucas was torn between 3 movie ideas:
Start Warts, Stare Wares, or Star Wars.
He decided to pursue the project with the least amount of letters.
So always remember: Efficiency is key.

So how can anyone still think that the war on drugs is winnable in any way?

The idea that someone could be prosecuted based on some messy AI interpretation of bodycam audio sounds like the plot of a Philip K. Dick novel.
For context: This isn't (just) officers randomly using ChatGPT, there's software (Draft One) directly marketed for that purpose. it's nuts.

Every time I see an actual photograph of moons and planets as opposed to artists' renditions, I'm struck by just how counterintuitive light and shadow look at this scale.
The far side of the moon, illuminated by the sun, as it crosses between the DISCOVR spacecraft's camera and the Earth - one million miles away.

At some point it seems we stopped doing the thing where we show the internet as a literal web with malware/scammers/other bad things depicted as a big evil spider preying on users.
Maybe we should start doing that again, it could fix a lot of issues.

Helping my parents set up their new LG TV so they can use it to watch TV just like they did 20 years ago was a dystopian experience.
So many useless apps, ads, logins and subscriptions.
Can't record anything anymore, but your TV will remember what you watched tell the ad companies all about it.

Anyone else sometimes find a band that's very similar to a band you already like but it actually stops you from ever listening to them?
Like, I love Heilung so I'd probably also dig Wardruna but something in me just says:
"There's only room for ONE strange neopagan viking folk thingy in your life"
