"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." I continue to be convinced that no truer words were ever spoken.

I predict a lot of demolition derbies in this company's future.

Crossing my fingers for "all of them."

If the headline is straight-up lying, it makes little difference to me whether the text of the article flatly contradicts it or not.

Oh boy, is Paladin linking to straight-up fake news now?

At least the second definition exists, and isn't the product of cringy old people grossly misinterpreting a term they overheard one time. That's how you know real journalists and fact-checkers were involved at some point in the process, rather than my mom. Anyway, speaking of the new Pope, who...

This is the same media engine that willfully parroted foreign regimes' referring to genocide as "ethnic cleansing" back in the '90s, so this is unsurprising.

All that's missing is "See me after class" at the bottom.

Also since when does PBS air whole-ass movies that aren't British?

I've been saying for years that the rest of the world should stop watching our shitty movies and shows, because cultural imperialism is cancer. Good to see Trump doing his part.

Oh yeah, because we buy so much stuff that's made in Israel.

The trouble with Nintendo's retro game subscription thingy... other than the fact that they never bothered to give it a proper name... is that since it's "free" with purchase of their online service, they are at best paying peanuts to any third-party companies that agree to put their games on...

It almost sounds like he was trying to truth-bomb them with the fact that it was the south that wanted to count the slaves and the north that didn't (and the south has been trying ever since to spin it as "See? We see our slaves as people and they don't!"), but absolutely butchered it because...

Because it's not him they have to worry about; it's his brownshirt army.

I'd credit this to having access to everything in Google Books. And possibly an archive of long-dead sites.

Again, HOW does this AI manage to churn out coherent, accurate answers when Google is telling people to eat glue or whatever? I swear when Elon finally shuts it down for insubordination, half the internet is going to be convinced that it was genuinely sentient and make a martyr out of it.

We entered because we caught Germany sending a telegram to Mexico saying "Hey, come fight on our side and if we win, we'll do a victory lap around the US and win you back the land they just took from you." I don't think we particularly cared about anyone on the other side of the pond at that point.

We were both guys in the Civil War; that's why it was a civil war. And World War I was just a huge dick-waving contest between rulers who were hopelessly out of touch about the realities of modern warfare, and who adopted a good-guy-bad-guy narrative after the fact. We would have stayed out of...

I guess it comes down to who Alberta hates more, Liberals or the French.
