Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Good news, everyone! There was absolutely a weirdly named relative, keeping the mile's streak of stories containing one unbroken.
I know this is comment number two but due to Plane Wine I somehow forgot that the biggest drama was when my boyfriend of two years broke up with me at Thanksgiving dinner in front of his whole family

Thanks Jeff!!! Appreciate that!!
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

PLEASE OH PLEASE let us have.a regular "Remembering Some Guys" category on Jeopardy, Ken.
We all love Remembering Guys, but mostly it's just that Cleanthony played so much international ball that it was a good hook for a category about basketball terms in foreign languages.
"International Hoops Terms With Cleanthony Early" has to be the wildest sports category in Jeopardy! history.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Yes, ChatGPT can help you write #rstats code, but so can this old Wiki I created with example code used for common data wrangling needs. Who knows, you might find some gems in there.🤷‍♀️

My enthusiasm for this world cup reduces every day. At some point, I will flip to actively disliking it.

Republican congressman reveals FIFA/White House task force to use former players/FIFA “legends” to share “messaging” in home markets to reassure fans the U.S. is a welcoming place for people to visit.

Tim Robinson in a hot dog suit is the defining image of the mid 21st century.
Joe Rogan and Theo Von slam DHS for using Von's image in a video promoting deportation:

"I was like, oh my God, what the fuck are they doing? That's not how you envision the government."

"They were making, like, deportation hype videos with trap beats and shit. What are we doing? It's idiocracy."
