The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ after 17 months of legal battles and has debuted its new logo.

It will be turned into a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families.

Brain plasticity is not a moral force! Amplified experiences may create neural pathways, but those need context, complex interpretation & socio-cultural reinforcement.

Getting real tired of "AI will revolutionize your workflow!" I am a scientist! I do what I do because I want to dig into things myself. I don't want offload that labor onto a computer, and I don't need to accelerate the rate at which I work, because the point of the work is to learn.

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

Clockwise from top left:
1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.”

2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”.

3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.”

4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

A cropped screenshot from the Roku remote app. It shows a carousel of tv show options. The carousel is titled “Included with your Crunchyroll subscription.” The only tv show thumbnail clearly visible is Happy Tree Friends

I think I’m ready to embrace the idea that I’m just a brain in a jar with scientists torturing me with stupider and stupider scenarios - cause what the fuck?

Paper straws are fine and most of y’all are being babies about it

With the corollary: if you hate them so badly just don’t use a straw

Pope Leo takes a chair across from Donald Trump, turns it around and sits on it backwards, leaning over with his hands on it's back to quietly say, "Can I tell you about someone else who was weak on crime?"

“I don’t want a pope who thinks it’s ok for Iran to have a nuclear weapon”
1. Rich from the guy who tore up the agreement preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon because Obama did it.
2. The Pope definitely thinks it’s not ok for anyone to have any nuclear weapons, US included.

But has the Pope even considered how the stock market is doing???

Question for the class (espeically other science people): is the phrase "kill your darlings" as ubiquitous as I think it is?

This is an important nuance and also the first time I'm realizing that this isn't just what people mean when they blame phones.

FTR if you've ever heard me blame phones for young people's discontent this is what I mean, with the explicit inclusion of the lack of nondigital, affordable third spaces!

important addendum that I don't actually know latin and this all comes from a 30-second google search

I also don't know if Orbán's going to lose power today, but it appears that's what people are saying on bsky

In latin, "victus" can be a passive participle of the verb "to conquer" (from which I assume but do not know for sure we get the english "victor" and "victum"), so it means "having been conquered" or "defeated"
