I mean, I wasn't going to say "monstrous"... 😂

I get a kick out of some of the roasts you get when you start a comment with "TODO: Refactor " with AI auto-complete on.
Screenshot of VS Code where the line being written says "TODO: Refactor" followed by an AI suggested autocompletion, "this monstrous method into smaller pieces."

Polish Presidential candidate orders another candidate to "kneel before Zod" during debate.

(I know nothing about this guy other than him looking like he escaped the Phantom Zone.)

Google Search is lost...
A Google Search blocked by a CAPTCHA that instructs the user to 'Select all images that match the label: "undefined"' with 9 completely random images. Google Search can't even find what it wants anymore...

Google searches for "jury nullification" have spiked to a possible all-time peak. Wild.
Google Trends graphs showing a big spike in searches for "jury nullification" following the shooting of the UHA CEO. The next highest peak is in Fall 2022 from the trial of the Waukesha Christmas Parade Attacker, a sovcit who wanted to argue for jury nullification. Those are the two highest spikes shown since 2004. The most recent data is shown with a dashed line as it is still tentative.
