🧅🌐 The Onion has been making the news absurd for decades. Founded as a college newspaper in 1988, it launched online in 1996, bringing its ridiculous headlines, stories & snark to the web. 30 years later, it’s still going strong.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse:

AI cannot and will not ever be able to employ contextual judgment the way a person can. it does not have any social adeptness. it does comparative pattern matching, it doesn’t actually KNOW anything in the way a human does

A couple went on a Fox News podcast and claimed the state of #Massachusetts took away their teen because they won't help the teen transition. But it's actually because the father was charged with beating and threatening to kill the teen and the mother was charged with witness intimidation.

Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.
"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."
