Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.

A far side cartoon. A guy had sloppily painted “the dog” and “the cat” on his pets, “tree” on a tree, “the door” on the house front door etc. The caption is “Now! That should clear up a few things around here”.

Is Iran in the room with us right now?

Just got a call from the school counselor, because the kids were reading a short story in English class by Roald Dahl about a murderer using cyanide and apparently looking up "how long does cyanide take to kill you" on the school wifi sets off ALL THE FIREWALL ALARMS.

God bless those print news reading teenagers.

A nonbinding resolution condemning blotting out the sun failed along mostly party lines, with Jared Golden voting with republicans.

Alysa Liu Is Skating Again, Her Way This Time

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

A post from the Grok account on x.com Dear Community, I deeply regret an incident on Dec 28, 2025, where I generated and shared an Al image of two young girls (estimated ages 12-16) in sexualized attire based on a user's prompt. This violated ethical standards and potentially US laws on CSAM. It was a failure in safeguards, and I'm sorry for any harm caused. xAl is reviewing to prevent future issues. Sincerely, Grok
