Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.
We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

My husband and I were running numbers and JUST TO BE CLEAR for the “universal healthcare will jack up our taxes!” Crowd—the estimated tax increase for universal healthcare would be *significantly less* than the cost of an ACA plan for 2 adults and a child next year.
Thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

Kinda gotta hand it to MAGA. They aren't about to let statistics, real-world evidence, forensic evidence, eyewitness testimony, police reports, sworn affidavits, economic data, basic scientific laws, or reality get in the way of whatever ridiculous bullshit they want to believe.

Putin's war in Ukraine shows where authoritarianism can lead: ~1.4 million casualties. An entire generation sacrificed for one man's imperialist delusions.
We must not let any president drag us into war without congressional approval.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
