I don't understand "single as a Pringle" when Pringles famously arrive together in a big tube and, let's be honest, you never *ever* eat one at a time.

Assuming it doesn't go to BBC Studios, in which case they'll just dust off Jodie's console room set and have a new series done by Christmas.

Total speculation, I have no idea how anything works but if the BBC tender process for Doctor Who is planned to end in March, it seems unlikely a new series could be produced quickly enough to air in 2028.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Documentation is often treated as a sticking plaster for bugs on the belief that "the customer can't complain if we've documented the problem". As if telling them, "Yes, but we told you it didn't work" will make them feel any better about buying broken software.

every single person pushing this angle is intellectually bankrupt. The data centers being built today are for NOTHING other than AI compute, and are much, much larger and more destructive. If none of them got built, services like online banking, social media and streaming would continue to function.

Army unit offers 4-day pass to play Grand Theft Auto VI as reenlistment incentive
By Eleanor Watson, Jennifer Jacobs, James LaPorta
Updated on: August 19, 2026 / 2:02 PM EDT / CBS News

Add CBS News on Google
Some U.S. military members who are itching to play a video game they've anticipated for over a decade can trade a commitment for several more years of their life in uniform for a few days off to play Grand Theft Auto VI.

As an incentive to reenlist, a U.S. Army unit in Georgia is offering active duty soldiers a four-day pass to play the popular game when it's released this fall, U.S. officials told CBS News.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

A nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."

I find it funny how Spider-Man needs to be able to sense [spoiler] for the first half of the movie to work, only to randomly lose that ability as a consequence of his powers *growing* just so the rooftop scene with MJ can happen. Otherwise, losing that power has no purpose/consequence.

It’s why they keep getting the wrong message from science fiction, they believe the Torment Nexus is good, that the moral of the story is that the implementation was wrong, that if they invented the torment nexus, they’d do it right.
