Yeah it sucks because I think there are some legitimate reasons why people might need them and they don't really have access to actually vetted sources, but like... this is the same industry that makes pills for Alex Jones and it has as much benefit for the average person as those

I'm... mildly surprised that people are surprised by this. I also think it's a sign of how deeply woo has infected our culture

The automaker pushed out a telematics update that evidently wasn't ready, resulting in cars losing power while driving and then becoming stranded.

kind of worried a lot of people just believe things they want to no matter how outlandish. like even putting aside how ridiculous the story is, i'm sorry but there is no universe in which that is a 31 year old pizza delivery driver

This is just me but I for one don't think baseball pitchers should be able to throw tiny hamburgers or the late 90s band that played "The Way". I think they should have to stick to baseballs

The Merriam Webster social media account finally has its milkshake duck moment

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 5d

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

its really hard to overstate the extent to which WW2 shaped both American society and the world as a whole, and how we're still living in its shadow in ways that most people just don't understand

hey @heatherosborn.bsky.social I am preserving these from twitter because once again OCR came up somewhere and I was like "wait, you have to hear the story of Ben and his anus..."

Tweet 1: REASONS SCANNED BOOKS MUST BE COPYEDITED PRIOR TO DIGITAL RELEASE #1: "the startled newcomer entered the room, and fell into Ben's anus."

Tweet 2: "He pulled her into his anus & held her till she calmed, continuing to assure her she was safe." I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE THERE. #scanningerror

Tweet 3: Scanning error of the day: "He got up to sit beside her and put his anus around her, and he held her tight for a moment." #NeverGetsOld
