All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

I didn’t realize that the “hi hungry, I’m dad” dad joke has a deeper meaning, which is “please politely ask me for what you actually want instead of just announcing a problem to me.”

“Dad, I’m hungry.”
“Hi hungry, I’m Dad.”
“🙄 Could you please make me something to eat?”
“And how hard was that??”

Last week, the Trump administration drastically cut that office's staff.

John Yang has more.

Most plastics are not recyclable, largely because there is no market for materials labeled 3 through 7.

Big Plastic wants you to think you can recycle your yogurt container
Those numbered labels, vetted by private interests, can be misleading.
