Got that iOS update that’s all about Liquid Glass. Does it look better? No. But does my phone run better? Emphatically, no.

Probably fine that platforms like TikTok can’t be bothered to give a shit about their own community guidelines when it comes to AI content.

Screenshot of TikTok community guidelines with a highlighted portion that reads, “We require clear labeling when AI or editing is used to realistically depict people or scenes.”

Screenshot of multiple reports submitted to TikTok for unlabeled AI videos. All were found not to violate community guidelines.

We’ve got to be heading toward a Frost/Nixon-style interview with Trump where he asserts, “Well, when the president does it, it’s not gay.”

Hell, if you remember the conspiracy theories about Democrats running child sex cabals out of a pizza parlor basement, this is even more of a wtf moment.

If you’re old enough to remember the conservative outrage over the president using the power of the office to get sex acts from an adult intern, then it’s that much more jarring to see the same group of folks dismissing as a hoax the president’s alleged involvement in sex trafficking children.

One of my favorite local breweries used an AI-generated image in a social media post. I don’t think that’s cool.

Every few months, my health insurer sends me a “coordination of benefits” survey, which is them asking, “Are you SURE we have to keep paying all your health care costs?” Great system, American health care.

Surely, there are zero health insurers looking at this and thinking they could save a lot of money by scaling back care for people AI says won’t live long enough to make treatments profitable.

Has anyone considered that the Bible may just be a treatise on the dangers of religious extremism? God is vengeful; his followers abide by harsh, oppressive rules enforced through violence; and that belief system as social structure leads to an innocent man’s murder. Happy Easter!

"I wouldn't shoot in that space. I wouldn't even be in the room," said Drew Swift, a firearms instructor who owns a firearms training academy in McLean, Va. "It's just an unnecessary risk." Probably bad to be so committed to killing that you’ll put people at risk. www.npr.org/2025/03/04/n...

South Carolina plans to execute its first prisoner by firing squad on March 7 inside the same death chamber it's used for dozens of other executions. Firearms experts say that could be risky.
