In 1962, the town council of Centralia, Pennsylvania decided to burn trash in a landfill built inside an abandoned strip mine. The fire never went out. Sixty-three years later, it's still burning. The underground coal seam fire spreads through a labyrinth of abandoned mines...
Elon Musk promised DOGE would cut 'at least' $2 trillion from federal spending. By the first cabinet meeting, that number dropped to $1 trillion. Now, according to a New York Times analysis, the actual savings are far smaller — and many of DOGE's biggest claimed wins don't ...
An elderly woman died on an Easyjet flight as it prepared to take off, but other passengers are pretty sure she was dead when her family wheeled her onto the plane. The airline insists they did not board a corpse. — Read the rest The post Elderly woman "already dead" when...
Anna's Archive has scraped almost 300TB of data from Spotify. In a blog post, the site claimed to have downloaded metadata for 256 million tracks and 86 million music files. All of the metadata is currently available to torrent, with the music tracks to be available later. —...
Mouse Print tracks the fine print and asterisks on food labels, which can hide information you wouldn't expect. This time, however, they found something troubling that a food company isn't even bothering to hide. The first ingredient in Stouffer's meat loaf, roast turkey,...
Florida's Catholic bishops asked for a brief Christmas pause in immigration raids, appealing to ideas like mercy, dignity, and not terrorizing families during the holidays. The Trump administration responded by reiterating that deportations will continue uninterrupted,...
Like Stories of Old, a series of media essays by Tom van der Linden, tackles a subject everyone seems to have an opinion on: why do modern movies, with all their modern effects, look less realistic than old ones? Why are Harryhausen skeletons still scarier than the finest...
When MTV's Sean Duffy threatens to cut off road and bridge funding unless states escalate immigration enforcement, they're not just talking about budgets: they're redefining who gets to move freely. In a country where traffic stops already function as a frontline for racial...
The Pentagon says it's adding Grok to its 'AI Arsenal,' which is a little like announcing that national defense will now be partially handled by a sarcastic reply guy who learned everything he knows from scrolling X at 3 a.m. If you're a hostile foreign actor, please take a...
TL;DR: Humanize stiff AI text with a lifetime subscription of Undetectable Humanizer Basic for $27.97 using MASKBASIC (or $39.99 without; reg. $1,080). Think of Undetectable Humanizer as a tone mechanic. You roll in with clunky, obvious AI prose; it swaps parts until the...

If you keep accidentally publishing evidence and then scrambling to hide it again, people will start to notice the pattern. The Trump administration's Epstein file dump has turned into a slow-motion train wreck with the U.S. Department of Justice briefly posting and then...
I think Ayaneo got the design of its Pocket Play smartphone just right: when the gaming stuff's stashed, it's just a normal (if thick) smartphone, but the joypad controls are cleanly laid-out and well-designed when slid out. It looks in every respect like a contemporary take ...

Bari Weiss apparently yanked a 60 Minutes piece on Venezuelan migrants deported to El Salvador's CECOT prison because it was not friendly enough to the Trump Administration. Somehow, the piece aired in Canada anyway. There are links to downloaded versions of the show for...

It turns out you can't tariff your way to prosperity when your flagship product needs four years in a barrel, and your biggest export markets are actively mad at you. A symbolic American bourbon brand is putting one of its stills on ice, with Jim Beam announcing it will shut ...
