TIL that the iconic Morton Salt girl ad with the “when it rains, it pours” slogan was meant to convey that even when conditions are moist, their salt remains pourable and doesn’t clump up.

when it rains, it [Morton salt still] pours.

it has nothing to do with the horrors persisting.
Morton salt marketing add from the 1930s. In large white letter across the top is reads “Morton Salt” under is a little girl wearing a yellow dress, with pigtails, holding a yellow umbrella with streaks of white representing rain. She is carrying an upside down canister of salt which is pouring out. At the bottom in smaller yellow print reads “When it rains it pours”

if you take an over the counter medication every day, might I suggest not fully removing the seal so it dispenses one at a time, and giving it big stupid eyes so it looks like a muppet is spitting your medicine out for you?
bottle of allergy medication, view from the top of the bottle where the metal seal is still on, with a slit cut across the middle and muppet like eyes, giving it a slightly surprised but happy expression.

Behind the dragon is a wall of flame against severe cliffs, they stand on a rock jutting into a roiling ocean with a ship scuttled on the beach below.

another reminder that the majority of people “experimenting with AI” really don’t give a shit about their work being ethical or adversely affecting actual people.
“Our sub is a decidedly human space that rejects undisclosed AI as a core value,” the moderators wrote. “People do not come here to discuss their views with AI or to be experimented upon. People who visit our sub deserve a space free from this type of intrusion.” Given that it was specifically done as a scientific experiment designed to change people’s minds on controversial topics, the experiment is one of the wildest and most troubling types of AI-powered incursions into human social media spaces we have seen or reported on. “We feel like this bot was unethically deployed against unaware, non-consenting members of the public,” the moderators of r/changemyview told 404 Media. “No researcher would be allowed to experiment upon random members of the public in any other context.”

ah. okay. yeah. so this is how tariffs work then?
it’s the stonks meme upside and backwards. the stonks meme is a 3D render of a smooth, bald, blue-eyed disembodied head overlaid on top of a stock photo of a man in a business suit with arms crossed and a chart pointing upwards behind him, and the caption "Stonks", a deliberate misspelling of the word "stocks".

“Elon didn’t just break Twitter, Twitter broke Elon Musk.”
It also underscored how Musk’s personal concerns can influence his operations of a platform used by hundreds of millions of people around the world, the Washington Post also said. Mezrich said that “the Elon before Twitter and the Elon after Twitter are two different Elons.” He also said, “Elon didn’t just break Twitter, Twitter broke Elon Musk.” In the year after Musk purchased Twitter, the company’s value dropped from $44 billion to $19 billion, the New York Times reported late last month. He overhauled the company by vastly reducing its staff. More than 80 percent of its 7,500 employees either quit or were laid off. He also changed the service’s verification process, as well as content-moderation rules. By the summer, advertising the company’s main source of revenue, was down in the United States by almost 60%. Musk has historically been concerned with his popularity, especially on the platform he owns, Insider reported. Back in February, the billionaire reportedly asked engineers to investigate why his tweets were getting fewer views. He reportedly fired the engineer who showed him that his popularity was declining. photo best known from a meme of a young girl, around 4-6 years of age smiling. behind here there is a house on fire.

The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers, the officials said. "We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."

i’ll start, look at boogie

She’s looking up with big brown puppy eyes and her back legs are flat out behind her like a little bunny sploot. steel grey colored French bulldog mix laying on a black and white striped rug with a tiger toy in front of her. The view is from the back so you can see the full chunk of her back legs flat on the ground. I honestly don’t know how to describe it other than “full sploot.”

Did you see their apology that reads like an RCA? Idk why this cracked me up so much.
A Letter from our CEO To our community, customers, partners and colleagues. Let me begin with a sincere apology for a recent marketing decision at an event hosted by Palo Alto Networks during Black Hat in Las Vegas.

Let me be clear: what occurred was unacceptable. We could have, and should have, done better. We will do better. Please know that we have: Investigated how the error occurred and addressed the issue within our event team and the entire marketing organization to ensure that we consistently follow our marketing guidelines.
