A scene from the office in which the humorously bland "IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY." sign has been edited to say "10.1 IS RELEASED".

Text not properly skewed because, well, I don't know. Had better things to do than figure out how to properly skew it I guess. But I'll probably look that up now, in case I need to do it sometime. But wait, doesn't that mean I had time to do it in the first place? This is bad time management.

LLMs have perfected the art of being confidently wrong, but they didn't invent it. For 13 years, Merriam-Webster included the word "dord".

Never heard of a dord? It's not a thing.

Why was "dord" in a dictionary? A chemist told Merriam-Webster researchers "D or d" were synonyms for "density". 🤦

Image of a screenshot of news headline, saying, "WhatsApp is getting ads using personal data from Instagram and Facebook
Forced Consent & Consent Bypass
/
16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."
