This AP tweet is an instant candidate for the Museum of American Fascism. Carve it in stone and put it over the entrance. It should be an enduring source of burning shame and embarrassment for the entire organization, as well as a warning to other media.

Everyone talks about the Tooth Fairy, but nobody ever mentions her elderly aunt, the Root Canal Banshee.

LOL, I think my fake "Flooring Inspector" title on LinkedIn is starting to confuse bots.

Except it's Guybrush, not Gregory, you fools.

I know, I know, I'm trolling, but if call yourself a "Senior IT Security Engineer," you really shouldn't be emailing helpdesk with such questions.

My attention has been drawn to this packaging design from HP, which presumably someone approved.

My umpire wrist guard had too much velcro, so I got a patch to go on it.

Our advice: Don't do it.

Yo, ClaudeBot. You see that f'n robots.txt? Yes, it's for you.

Oh, you don't care? Well, then, choke on a bucket of 403s.

Amused by the fact that convicted felons can't vote, but can apparently be elected into a position where they can appoint Supreme Court judges.

So, it's official now? Donald -- quack?

Do Musk next.

I don't have ADHD (pretty sure, I went over a bunch of resources to verify), but some days listening to "ADHD relief music" is the only way I can stay focused on a task.

"Occupation is not just changing the national flag to another. It means mass deportations, torture, rape, forced adoption, erasure of identity, and mass graves." - Oleksandra Matviichuk, head of the #Ukraine-based Center for Civil Liberties, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022
