Amazon is a very difficult company to love. The company uses Alexa to listen in and figure out what to sell you. Their logistics team keeps tabs on how long their workers take to go to the bathroom. Back in 2023, Bezos' baby got hit with a $30 million judgment against them:...
Dominion Voting Systems will receive what should be a crippling settlement from NewsMax, a right-wing cable conspiracy network known for pro-Trump commentary, sensationalist framing, and wild-eyed theories. Newsmax is on the hook for $67 million for spouting egregious lies ...
KICK! PUNCH! It's all in the Mind! PaRappa the Rapper is a phenomenal video game. Every song is a worthy earworm. Watching PJ Berri play the game to sample it is a ton of fun. I'm hoping for a second installment! — Read the rest The post Sampling the legendary PaRappa...
In late 19th-century New York City, the wealthy traveled by horse and carriage. Even then, NYC real estate was priced at a premium, so the stables for the horses were multi-story buildings. The carriages were stored on the ground floor, and the horses lived on the upper...
It was a beautiful Sunday on a golf course in Sydney when a small plane suddenly — and loudly — hit the green around 2:00 p.m over the weekend. Caught on video, a small private plane carrying a student and instructor crash-landed near two trees, losing pieces of the...
I think I may have finally found something to dethrone Food On My Dog as the weirdest culinary corner of the Internet. Time after time, incel communities have been banned from forums like Reddit due to their tendency to turn into festering pits of misogynistic toxicity...
A rare genetic mutation that makes some people naturally impervious to viral diseases could lead to a universal antiviral treatment. Columbia University researchers have transformed this genetic quirk into an experimental therapy that shows broad protection against viruses....
The subscription model comes for us all in the end, it seems. The concept of owning things seems more and more elusive nowadays, and Volkswagen is now taking the first steps toward enshittifying cars. Apparently Elon Musk needed help. Volkswagen is a fairly respected entity ...
Co-op horror has always seemed a bit of an oxymoron to me. Part of the appeal of the genre, at least when it comes to games, is that sense of isolation; the feeling that it was you against the world. Silent Hill did this especially well by making the titular town a character ...
Spoiler alert: the answer is 'not well.' Although scambaiters specialize in derailing the well-practiced scripts of online scammers, what would happen if one played along a little too well by asking a tech support scammer to actually do their supposed job? — Read the rest ...
Krypto is, without a doubt, one of the best things about James Gunn's Superman, which is not surprising since he is based on Gunn's own dog, Ozu. Krypto, as Superman points out, 'not a very good [dog],' but he is adorable and still a good boi, despite a lack of training from ...
It's been a while since we've had a good scambaiting featured here. For the uninitiated, this is the art of knowingly interacting with scammers, whatsoever domain they may occupy, for the sole purpose of wasting their time (and learning more about their operations as a nice...
Get your mind out of the gutter, it's not like that. A while back, I spent some time in Iceland on a research trip. Having never been, I took some time to visit the Phallological Museum in Reykjavik, as one does. — Read the rest The post Largest penis in the world causes...
Mini Museum sells all manner of cool collectibles, from T. Rex teeth and tiny bits from space shuttles to a section of cable from the Brooklyn Bridge. The IC chip from the CRAY-1 from Mini Museum is one of the coolest things I own. — Read the rest The post $39K gets you...
TL;DR: $49.97 gets you Microsoft Office Pro 2021 for Windows—forever with no ongoing fees. You know what's fun? Not paying monthly for something you actually own. You know what's not fun? Subscriptions that siphon your bank account every 30 days like a needy vampire. —...
John R. Anderson III, 42, was featured in 'I Am a Stalker,' a Netflix show about stalkers and harassers content to describe themselves as such on television. Anderson, of Cortland, Illinois, has pleaded not guilty to stalking the Ogle County woman featured in the same show....
Premier Vladimir Putin's bodyguards carry a 'poop suitcase,' it is alleged, so that the Russian state can maintain custody of his potentially-revealing excrement on his travels. Putin's health is often the subject of media intrigue. Though only 72, not particularly old...
The Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries of English compete every year to find the most credible but sensational words to add. Oxford went with 'brain rot' this year, and Cambridge is all on on just that: 'Tradwife', 'delulu' and 'skibidi' are its latest additions. — Read the re...
It's been 43 years since the first Comact Discs were pressed in 1982, ushering in an age of vastly superior fidelity ruined by slapdash remastering. The first official pressing on the new optical medium was Abba's The Visitors, one of the biggest vinyl LPs of the year,...
Last year I wrote about Joe Dever's Combat Heroes, the wild apogee of the 1980s gamebook boom. Whereas Choose Your Own Adventure offered branching paths and Fighting Fantasy introduced role-playing elements, Combat Heroes implemented grid-based free-movement dungeon...
