truly the Khan's knowledge of poetry and the arts is as great as his bow-arm and his firm grip on the steed.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Why paint one aircraft, when you can paint six? Lufthansa says its special 100th anniversary fleet will expand to 6 aircraft, including an Airbus A380, A350-1000, A350-900, & A320, and a Boeing 747-8. All special liveries are scheduled to be finished by fall 2026.

One of the changes that OpenAI has made to make ChatGPT safer is a "take a break" nudge. There's something quite interesting about the design here. Which thing does it make you want to click?

I heard there was a Cohen song,

And all the Christians got it wrong,

But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?

‘Cause you see its about getting laid,

It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,

But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”
hey guys i made a seasonal meme

The rest of my family live across the country from me, and I see them at Christmas, so I usually use Thanksgiving week to get in a 9-day trip (somewhere international where it's not a holiday) at the cost of just 3 PTO days. I've done Singapore, Tokyo, Spain, Hong Kong, and a couple weeks in India.
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

You were all having a good day and I am here to ruin it:

All of the birds given as gifts in “12 days of Christmas” are edible birds, and I am not sure why so many of you believe they were all intended to be kept as pets for years after receipt.

I was out hiking and a mountain biker passed.

Me: have a nice ride!
Him: you too!
Him: *flustered realizing I wasn’t riding*
Him: *processing*
Him: *processing*
Him: enjoy your legs!

Well that settles that for my new trail greeting.

This is the funniest piece imaginable in the dull world of the otherwise sickly sycophantic tech review.

For real. Read it, even if you don’t give a rat’s ass about printers.

kinda disappointed that the Notre Dame kicker didn't shank one of his extra points on one of the 10 touchdowns they've scored today

not for betting reasons or anything, just... you know. do the math.

“what if they change their mind later” is never asked about cis kids going through puberty, even though they might be trans, which reveals that cis people view transness as a defect
The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"

You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

Notable that this flight includes a Black NASA astronaut, Chris Williams. In the 25 years that NASA has been sending astronauts to ISS on Soyuz, this is a first.
Soyuz MS-28 encapsulated for launch ahead of integration with the rocket; its crews do final fit checks in the cockpit.
(BTW, those tech drawings in the hands of a specialist in the photo are also in our INSIDER CONTENT section! ;)

When I worked at a bookstore, I quickly learned that people cannot tell the difference between Xmas music and any Baroque or Elizabethan music album that doesn't get too organ-ish. I used this to my advantage.

One customer caught on... AND THANKED ME
If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?

And rightfully so.

So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?
