Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.
But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

We gotta get humans doing the subtitles again, the chaos out there is daft
Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole".

This fountain in L'Aquila was designed to look like it's pouring lava for a brief time each day when the sun hits it at just the right angle.

Here's a thought for the guys in charge: How about we make this the last time we change the clocks? One last time for Springing Forward into DST. We would be so happy!

Excellent idea. I give them a year until they give in and use the inevitable AI, perhaps with a label.
Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

Who is sitting beside Barron Trump? The short guy in front of Musk and beside Usha Vance? He has the very short wife? Anyone?

So TikTok is actually down, and the notice is thanking Trump in advance for fixing the app. I feel like I've been Rick Rolled.

Every weird or soft pick for a position in the Trump presidency can be seen as another rotten apple set to spoil the entire basket. It's the Enemy's way of conquering us. 🍎

Musk's transphobia really hits different when you realize that he ordered all boys via IVF.
He's worse than a bad father, he's a dissatisfied customer.

FANTASTIC NEWS! Romania’s Constitutional Court has just annulled the first round of the presidential election due to heavy Russian interference. The second round will not take place on Sunday and the first round will be re-run. The electoral authorities will have to validate all candidates again.
