Different site, but still true.
A tweet from Xitter by "Coolee Bravo" that reads: "Twitter the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted. You can say "I like pancakes" and somebody will say "So you hate waffles?" No bitch. That's a whole new sentence. WTF is you talkin about."

This comma deserved an Oscar nomination.

I believe this is what you're referring to.

Did AI write this article? Because WTF is this?
The CDC reported that there have been 20 cases, 19 hospitalizations and four deaths across 15 states. The deaths occurred in Illinois, Michigan, Texas and Utah. All of the recalled contaminated products are no longer for sale, but health officials warn consumers that they may still be in freezers or refrigerators. It comes after the TSA completely banned 16 items - including a popular phone - from all flights.

A Message from Edfinancial about the SAVE Plan   A federal court recently made a decision that prevents the U.S. Department of Education (ED) from implementing the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan and parts of other Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plans. As a result, a general forbearance was applied to your account, pausing your monthly payments while it is in effect. Although you do not need to make payments, interest accrual resumed on August 1, 2025. Time spent on the general forbearance also does not provide credit toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) or Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) forgiveness. If you would like to work toward PSLF or IDR forgiveness, you may take the following action:
