A quirky observation in 1967 launched a field of research: bigger signatures often signal bigger egos. Today, CEOs can be measured by their pen strokes — and large signatures can bring in twice the fundraising revenue, according to a social psychologist. buff.ly/4i3ugCi

Signature size and narcissism − a psychologist explains a long-ago discovery that helped establish the link

Psychologist Richie Zweigenhaft found a link between signature size and self-esteem. A growing body of research has since established a link to narcissism as well.

Evidently there was an Auschwitz-themed float in a Halloween parade in Pennsylvania.

The float was for a Catholic school, and to their credit the church immediately disavowed it.

Thing is, I don’t think high school kids did this entirely on their own. I’m guessing parents had to be involved.

If you look out the window in one of the photos released by Donald Trump today of the new Lincoln Bedroom bathroom you can see the East Wing as it was in the process of being demolished.

You can photograph local politicians, landmarks (esp rural or non US), your professors etc. And yes celebs! Macaulay Culkin’s pic is from 2014 and he’s dressed as Snow White performing pizza-themed Velvet Underground covers in Iowa. Delightful, but maybe time to update so we actually see his face!

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Predictions of the end of Wikipedia

Predictions of the end of Wikipedia comprise recurrent forecasts by critics, academics, and technology commentators since the site's establishment in 2001, contending that its crowdsourced model of unrestricted editing by anonymous volunteers would prove unsustainable, succumbing to rampant vandalism, factual degradation, ideological capture, and insufficient quality safeguards, thereby rendering it unreliable and precipitating its decline into irrelevance or outright failure.

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.
