This feels so much like a bit, but it appears to be serious.

You joke but this exists:

Not only is this song catchy AF, but it's a succinct recap of U.S. foreign policy going back to Vietnam.

“Interviews with more than a half dozen former Fetterman staffers with close knowledge of his day-to-day activities, meanwhile, describe a senator who is almost entirely disengaged from the work.”

Jesus. "WE NEWS lists profiles for Johns, Lafferty and Qammaniq as 'AI correspondents.' Their associated profiles say they are 'a member of Yukon First Nation,' 'of Dene heritage,' and 'an Inuk raised in the North,' respectively."

Is it something a lot of USA Today Co. (Gannett) papers are doing?

I suspect that when this happens tomorrow a lot of ProJo subscribers are going to think the paper screwed up and forgot to deliver their paper. Spare a thought for their customer service team.

Fantastic.

The inaugural Lincoln Square Cat Tour featured 120 cats. So far, the Bowmanville tour has over 40 cats registered, organizers and Lincoln Square residents Christine Blevins and Kalin Webber told Block Club.

Some of those cats include Professor Meatloaf, a shorthaired calico kitty who is “delightfully neurodivergent, super cuddly and an all-around lover of people”; a sassy tortoiseshell kitty named Mr. Flufflepants; a cuddly gray tabby named Pepper who loves watching the Cubs and birds from her window perch; and Noodle, another tortoiseshell born on Halloween who only responds to being called Big Kitty.

Nic Cage:

He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

Nyt had a zillion photos to choose from to illustrate the story of Sen. Marshall’s campaign not paying a cookie debt to a small Kansas bakery. And they chose the one of a guy who looks like he just got caught stealing a cookie from a small Kansas bakery.

Every day is World Mental Health Day if you're on SSRIs. I take 50 mg of sertraline (generic Zoloft). Big fan.

PSA: @heartleafbooks.bsky.social now has two adorable -- and impossibly small -- in-store kittens, Mabel and Doris.
