My business logo is cyan... because it's one of the three printer colors. 😂

When you use 2-color process, letterhead is cheaper to print. And it always turns out right—no fancy color matching required.

oh my GODDDDDDDDDDD

(apologies for screenshotting the hellsite, which I no longer use; I saw the link in CNN's Reliable Sources newsletter)

a screenshot of two X posts by Chris Lesinski (@lesinski)

the first, posted at 7:14 PM EDT on Oct. 25, 2025, says:

Quite an epic AI typo in The Journal today.

The Paramount exec is named Cindy Holland and they wrote “Cindy the Netherlands”

The post also includes a photo of the print newspaper featuring the passage in question.

The second X post, a threaded reply from @lesinski, was posted 17 hours ago, and says:

Spelling this out a little more:
1) yes, this is real, WSJ Sat/Sun edition this weekend
2) they probably do some form of AI copy editing and the style guide says “we don’t use the informal ‘Holland,’ instead use ‘the Netherlands’”…

… it’s just that this is a very obvious exception a human should have caught.

A core feature of our unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis is that the Speaker of the House is permitted to performatively lie in public with impunity from the podium every day & the assembled media in front of him offer approximately no pushback at all on the lies.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
