This song has always felt to me like it fell into our dimension from a higher plane of Pure Music, like there’s a realm of Platonic forms somewhere up there and this just dropped straight down like a meteor and somehow survived the crash perfectly intact without a scratch

Fucking fuck Google to the fucking moon and back. I searched for a Scientific American article and got an AI summary that had an error in almost every single sentence, starting with the date being off by a decade.
An AI summary of an article from 2024 claims it was published in 2014, misstates the current state of climate change, and claims that "sun kinks" happen when the average temperature in the U.S. exceeds 9 degrees Fahrenheit.

Anti-immigration weirdos have never become more complex than this comic.
Two-panel comic. First panel is a chode in a suit saying, "Stop immigration so we can take care of our own."

Second panel is a child speaking to the chode in a suit. The child says, "I'm starving." The chode in the suit replies, "Fuck off."
