This is amazing: Disney updated an episode of this educational pre school show but somehow the audio has the music & sound effects (including dog barks & laugh track) from an episode of Dog With a Blog. It’s surreal.

Sorry man, when Max is locked in it’s terrifying. But glad you are totally okay!
Max Muncy hit three homers tonight. And the third one was a walk off. UNREAL
No one likes unnecessary scaffolding. Thankfully, we have a plan — and John Wilson is here to help break it down.
Just an absolute vacuum cleaner, sucking cash out of the company while leaving its creative teams and executives begging for scraps. Zero added value to one of the greatest brands in Hollywood history.
i was pretty suspicious of all the epstein stuff, but that press conference cleared everything up for me. that's the end of that i guess
I am not sure why Melania Trump decided to make a statement about Jeffrey Epstein seemingly out of nowhere today, but if the idea was to put the ongoing coverup in the rearview mirror it will backfire spectacularly
The news is currently so bad the White House is changing the subject TO the president's longtime, well-documented friendship with a child predator, amazing stuff.

I hate the idea of what's-his-name's signature on money as much as the next person but all the fun things we write about him on the money before passing it along is gonna be great, I look forward to the creativity that is unleashed

It’s the future, it’s inevitable, just accept it, it’s the way we will all be working very soon and there is no point in trying to oh wait it sucks, no one asked for it or wants it, and it’s shutting down forever.
Goldman Sachs reports that 300 million full-time jobs could be replaced by AI by 2030. Labor turnover is high and hiring has slowed. 71% of Americans worry that AI will cause permanent job loss. As young people about to enter the workforce for the first time, the fear of unemployment is understandable, but we cannot save ourselves with the very tool that is putting us at risk. The irony is that as Penn pours endless money and energy into AI advancement in its attempt to get ahead, the University is only quickening its own demise. AI cannot coexist with education — it can only degrade it. As technology advances and workers are replaced by machines, schools are some of the only places we have left to explore and wrestle with human thought. With our own university leading the charge, AI is now corrupting those few sacred spaces and leaving us with nowhere to engage in true scholarship. Editorials represent the majority view of members of The Daily Pennsylvanian Editorial Board who meet regularly to discuss issues relevant to the Penn community. This body is led by Editorial Board Chair Jack Lakis and is entirely separate from the newsroom. Questions or comments should be directed to letters@thedp.com.
An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it.

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy
Ohtani cranks a grand slam in team Japan’s first game of the 2026 WBC.
In Tokyo.
Blessed to be alive to see this. Sound UP.
I don’t think he’s wearing his seatbelt
This creep's entire line of thought here is eugenicist trash. People are PEOPLE. You don't measure their value by energy consumption. They have inherent value as HUMAN BEINGS. A fucking LLM has no inherent human value. You cannot compare them.
This brings the total number of traffic fatalities reported by the LBPD in 2026 to 12. By comparison, there were just 2 in Long Beach last year at this time, and 2025 ended up having the highest number of traffic fatalities in any year since 1990.
