Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

This isn’t doing the numbers a normal Oxtra video would do, but the response to it - both in the number of comments on the video and shares on social compared to other videos - has been huge.
Thank you! 💜

How much are gaming CEOs making compared to the people they've been firing? Ellen went rooting around in some financial statements to find out...

Stop asking chatgpt, etc.,for facts. These bots don’t know facts.
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I can’t believe this is real
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Over 9000 likes and 100 post cards sold. I feel like we can do better than that. The world needs SciShow!!!
You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.
We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.
It's great, I love it.
