Why an aria as rapey as "Nessun dorma" is still a staple of very serious events baffles me. But at least I can't listen to it anymore without hearing the words to "Nissan bromsa" by KAJ. Vastly improved the dullest part of the Milano-Cortina opening ceremony.

Another murder in broad daylight. It won't be enough to prosecute the shooters. It won't be enough to defund ICE. It should be regarded as a criminal organization. All who signed up for it should be treated like Nazi soldiers and Confederate traitors. Noem, Charles, and Bovino should rot in prison.

What I'd like to know is: Did Nature publish this because they thought it was a damning indictment of ChatGPT? Or did they not want to rob the author of the opportunity to show his whole ass in public?
When two years of academic work vanished with a single click
After turning off ChatGPT’s ‘data consent’ option, Marcel Bucher lost the work behind grant applications, teaching materials and publication drafts. Here’s what happened next.

And it's not like he was coherent before the hour mark. I guffawed at the part about Chinese "windmills all over the place" (which don't spin in China, but kill all the birds in Europe).

Since I've seen claims to the effect that Maduro's abduction was an unprecedented event under the current international order, I tried to count the number of times the United States removed or instigated the removal of a de facto head of government of an independent country since 1945.
