Is there a prize for greatest subtitles? If so, I want to nominate this gem...

As is DuckDuckGo...
Searching Duck Duck Go for the phrase "how many i's in teamwork"? Duck Duck Go's AI summary reads "There is one "I" in the word "teamwork." However, the concept emphasizes that each individual ("I") in a team plays a crucial role in achieving collective success."

Chat GPT is just as bad...
Asking ChatGPT "How many i's in teamwork"? Chat GPT responds with "There is **one 'i'** in the word **teamwork**—but only **literally**. Figuratively, the saying "There's no 'I' in team" means that teamwork is about collaboration, not individualism. So while "teamwork" technically contains the letter "i", the spirit of the phrase suggests otherwise."

I tried out the "How many i's in teamwork" question for Google to see if they had fixed it...

...they have not.
Asking Google "how many i's in teamwork" and the Google Gemini AI responding with "There are two "i"s in the word "teamwork". AI. Not even once.

Trump denied accusing California's governor, Gavin Newsom, and the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, of paying agitators to turn the protests in the city violent. Video footage from his speech at Fort Bragg just hours earlier, shows him clearly making the accusation.

Just going to leave this here. It’s Trump and his besties, Musk and Vance. Quite clear who the bigger man is here…

#trump
A picture of Elon Musk (6’2” tall) and JD Vance (6’2” tall) either side of Donald Trump (apparently 6’3” tall). Trump is very clearly the shorter of the three by around half a head

The gremlins did some pavement chalks on the driveway. #cat went out to “help”…

(The picture doesn’t really do it justice!)

The fluffy rear end of a black cat. She has clearly been sat in some blue chalk as her entire rear is covered in blue chalk.

I have hay, nuggets, various sticks and a log filled with food available to me. Yet the tastiest thing I can find is my house…

Based on the fact the DOGE folks have not removed either the unauthorized content highlighted by @404media.co *or* the classified details of the NRO headcount from their website, I'm starting to suspect that they don't have the ability to remove content from doge.gov.

Change my mind...

America, what is going on at the moment? Are you guys ok? Should we call somebody?

They are still there. The first couple of them in the list have just a general OPM account listed as author, but if you go further down there is at least one authored by James Sherk (Federal Civilian Hiring Freeze Guidance)

Woo. Log on at work to find that SharePoint search is down, outlook is broken and everything is sad. But it's fine. The MS Portal of lies says everything is good (just ignore the broken image in the header...)
A screengrab of the Microsoft service health status page. It is all greenwith a big tick saying "We're all good! Everything is up and running". Alongside that is a very obvious broken image. It is not in fact, all good.

The gremlins have been making dens/a mess in the living room today. #cat approves…

Interesting difference in headlines between CNN and The Guardian... I'm not an American, but I'm pretty sure The Guardian has the more correct take here...
A CNN Headline: "Pentagon officials discussing how to respond if Trump issues controversial orders" The Guardian's take on the same story: "Military officials reportedly discuss how to handle illegal orders from Trump"
