Per The Information magazine, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has cut back Microsoft's Artificial Intelligence goals. Spending in AI data centers have reportedly been cut by as much as 50%. The reasoning deduced is that users prefer ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.β¦
I don't know a single person who uses Copilot. Quite literally everyone uses ChatGPT or Claude. Microsoft somehow fucked up the entrance into the AI era despite heavily investing on OpenAI.

There is a restaurant in the United States called "Waffle House". Waffle House is notorious for it's poor customer service, history of violence breaking out in the restaurant, it being open primarily in dangerous areas, and it also being open during severe weather events.
Waffle House is typically open during severe hurricanes and tornadic weather. The restaurants willingness to remain open during potentially life threatening weather has resulted in meteorologists creating a scale which measures weather severity based on whether or not Waffle House is open.
Despite the restaurants poor reputation, it has a cult like following in the United States. People go to the restaurant expecting poor service because the restaurant is ridiculously affordable and the food is pretty good.
One time I visited Waffle House with a friend. When we were waiting on our food the staff became frustrated with a customer who had locked themselves in the bathroom. Eventually one of the cooks busted down the door. They discovered the customer, a homeless looking person, was overdosing on narcotics on the floor.
While eating our food, EMTs and police officers were performing CPR on the customer. Staff were arguing about the door being broken. Nobody eating seemed bothered by the situation unfolding. It was a surreal experience.
This situation is not unique to me. If you take a moment of your time to lookup Waffle House footage online you'll see hundreds of videos depicting situations similar to mine.
I recommend everyone visit Waffle House.

It's sickening.

There are objective truths and emotional truths.
Sometimes people will (intentionally or unintentionally) overlook evidence because they want a story to be true.
tl;dr dumb made up story, probably AI slop, regarded as true by people all across the internet because it "feels" true.
In November, 2025 there was widespread coverage of "hundreds" of stray cats infiltrating a Bitcoin mining facility in Inner Mongolia* and allegedly costing the Bitcoin mine owner several million dollars. The original author of the post included a photo of a dozen or so cats sitting on so-called cryptomining hardware machines.
This story is not true. There is a lot of evidence to support this.
- Story originated from a Facebook page titled, "StoryTime"
- "StoryTime" shares a lot of AI art
- No company stated
- No additional information provided other than strange photo of cats
- Inaccurate depiction of cryptomining facility (see subsequent images)
- Story doesn't make sense
- Cryptomining is banned in Inner Mongolia
The original post asserts cats have some how broken into a cryptomining facility in Inner Mongolia. There they remained undetected for weeks, "multiplied", and comfortably nested on cryptomining machines. Inner Mongolia has banned cryptomining because there is a desire to reduce their carbon footprint.
While it's technically possible for all of these things to be true, it would be outrageous for an illegally operated Bitcoin cryptomining facility to be unaware of "hundreds" of cats in their facility for weeks. It amplifies the absurdity when you consider that this Mongolian facility decided to photograph their illegal operation and exclusively share the details on it with an English-speaking Facebook page which does not typically discuss cryptocurrency.
The "news report" concludes by writing the Bitcoin mine owner "loves cats" so he purchased "several hundred" warming beds for the cats.
If you take a moment to consider what I've just written, and review the information provided, it's pretty obvious this story is fake. Unfortunately, this completely made up story ended up in semi-large cryptocurrency news websites. It was shared all over Facebook, Reddit, and X. I had a dozen or so people tag me and suggest I share it online and comment about it. Out of the millions, upon millions, of engagements the story received, only a very small minority of people questioned the validity of the story.

Is the United States government ran by a bunch of fucking morons? People on BlueSky discovered that some of the Epstein documents were visually redacted but remained selectable. In other words, using Python you can un-redact some of the Epstein files.
I don't know if I want to share the unredacted documents because I haven't reviewed them. I don't want to expose a person who has been a victim of sex trafficking.

"To deliver gifts to every child, Santa must travel incredibly fast, roughly 4.7 to 5.4 million kilometers per hour (3 million mph), which is about 0.5% the speed of light, requiring him to visit ~1,900 houses per second, but using time zones and relativity allows for magical solutions, like stopping time or using multiple sleighs, otherwise, air resistance would vaporize him."

Santa doesn't go to "poor" countries because he's several hundred years old and overflowing with CLASSISM.
He's real, but he is steaming with prejudice against the poor. He's a real jerk.

December 21st, 2025, Vince Zampella, co-founder of Call of Duty, passed away. It has been confirmed by Electronic Arts and people closely associated with him.
Mr. Zampella tragically passed away while traveling at a high rate of speed in his 2026 Ferrari 296 GTS in Los Angeles, California, United States.
The incident occured at a location known as Angeles Crest.
Mr. Zampella exited a tunnel traveling at an estimated 105mph (169kph). It is suspected Mr. Zampella failed to anticipate the vision impairment which would occur while exiting a dark tunnel back into regular daylight, hence temporarily blinding and/or disorienting his vision.
Mr. Zampella was unable to see the sharp turn approaching, failed to decelerate, and crashed into a barrier.
Several bystanders recorded the incident. Per video evidence, Mr. Zampella's Ferrari immediately compressed inward, similar to an accordion, due to the high rate of speed. The car immediately became engulfed in flames.
Per police records, Mr. Zampella had a passenger in the vehicle. The passenger has not been identified to the public.
The Mr. Zampella was pronounced DOA (Dead on Arrival) by medical first responders. Per police records, Mr. Zampella was trapped inside the vehicle while it became engulfed in flames. It is unknown if Mr. Zampella was conscious or not while it occurred. Police scanner archivists (people who actively listen and discuss police radio conversations) documented first responders as stating "the driver is burnt to a crisp". The driver was later identified as Mr. Zampella.
The unknown passenger was ejected from the vehicle. Per police reports, the passengers lower torso remainder in the vehicle from his vehicle compressing inward, while his upper torso went through the windshield of the vehicle. First responders documented the passenger had "effectively amputated his legs". Bystanders dragged the unknown passengers upper body from the flames and made an attempt at saving his life. Bystanders attempted to use a seat belt from a bystanders vehicle as a tourniquet to prevent the person from bleeding to death.
The unknown passenger was transported via helicopter to a nearby hospital due to the severity of his injuries. He was officially pronounced deceased at the hospital.
Mr. Zampella is survived by his three children
