"There are great powers, outside the government and in it, trying to legislate the return of darkness. We are not great powers. But we are the light. Nobody can put us out. May all of you shine very bright and steady, today and always."

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.

I actually don’t know how you solve the problem of people just refusing to believe sources that tell them the truth instead of ones that lie to them

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.

Here's the video of it running.

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.

can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

this job ad I've been eyeing, for a game studio I like, has been up for something like a month now. maybe someone forgot to pull it down, or maybe it's hard to find a good backend engineer when you include a disclaimer that basically says "you'll have to come to an office". who knows

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction
