Microsoft 365 sees 43% price hike thanks to Copilot — existing customers safe until renewal
I spent about 20 minutes today trying to get Copilot on Word to tell me how to disable Copilot on Word. Worth every penny.

Anon made the right call, she only wanted him for his fries, she would have been gone once the fries were gone.

Well, shoot. I'm still boycotting Blizzard because they banned a player from tournament play over voicing support for the Hong Kong protests. Now I need to boycott them for an entirely different humanitarian reason? Good thing they don't make good games anymore or I'd be kind of upset.

It's simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking. I can feel their panic.
"Oh no, I did a bad. Go away bad. Oh no, oh no, they're going to find out I did a bad chew. Bad away! Bad away now! Why is this not working?"

"Having legs" was always the most basic tool of bicyclist propaganda. If you have no legs, you can't be fed bicyclist propaganda. The most steadfast anti-biker I knew in my childhood was a corn snake I found in my backyard. Bicycle propaganda did not reach him.

This is literally from whitehouse.gov, I can't belive this is an official post from the executive branch. I feel like it needs to be shared for posterity.

I'm kind of torn on this one. I've seen the "transgenic" explanation in several other places, and as I normally do, my initial reaction was "Ha ha, stupid Trump." (And also a deep underlying sadness that doesn't ever really go away)
But I clicked the link on this post. They listed the grants referenced in their $8 million total. One did mention transgenic mice, though others could use transgenic mice and not specifically mention it. But if you click through to the grant proposals (which I assume DOGE did not write), every entry does indeed involve research on the effects of gender-affirming medication, even the one that mentions transgenic mice. To be clear, the other claim from media reports is also true - that these are grants for cancer and HIV research. But specifically, for things like the interaction between HIV vaccines and gender affirming meds.
To make my position clear, I support these studies. I think it's important to study how asthma and cancer medications may affect the trans population differently than those not on gender-affirming meds. And you never know what additional discoveries will be made along the way. But I think that the response that MAGA got confused about transgender vs transgenic is disingenuous at best, if the information from this link is true (who knows if the 8 mill is the full contract or remaining values, etc).
I think diversity, equity, and inclusion are exactly what we need, and historically, a lot of harm has been caused by treating white male as default in medical studies. It is a truly terrible thing that they are canceling studies like these. But I think we need to recognize that when they say things like, Biden spent 8 million dollars trying to make mice transgender, what we're dealing with is bait. They want us fighting over whether or not we made mice transgender. The point here is that this is yet another example of this Federal government usurping the power of the purse without being checked. They will always try to use small lies to hide the Big Lie.

That's a lot more fun than when I trained my dog to find Parkinsons. I only have one friend named Parkinson, so it wasn't very impressive.

I've never been put under, but I just assumed OP meant that they would say something right before they started counting, not after.

Anon is a conspiracy theorist.

That's why the idea of wokeism is so repugnant to right-wing conspiracy theorists. The idea that they are the ones asleep but also there are many others who woke up before them is so counter to their own self-image that they will alter their perception of the world before they will allow such a thing to be true.

Paris Olympics: More Taiwanese spectators at the Olympics report having signs confiscated by staff or snatched by Chinese fans as "anything related to Taiwan cannot appear", staff said
Since they seem really intent on collecting all the Taiwanese signs and flags, sounds like it would help if people from all the other countries brought their homemade (hotelmade?) Taiwan flags to the closing ceremony.
