A company has come up with a concept robot designed for dangerous situations and search and rescue operations... a chainsaw wielding centaur.

I like how they described the horns as a security feature.

Dis Papa, c’est quoi le déni ?
C’est quand un incendie incroyable dévaste ta région, fait évacuer 220.000 personnes, que tu veux pas écouter les ordres des gendarmes, parce que « c’est la faute des médias », alors que t’es pilote de ligne.

"What exactly is ‘explosive diarrhea’?"
https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5980293-what-exactly-is-explosive-diarrhea/
So, apparently, this needed to be explained in a long drawn out "news" article.

My son got a fraud warning email and text for his CU debit card
Both looked amazingly phishy
Called the 844 number and his phone said “This number is ‘sus, we’re gonna drop this call”
Domans used in links had nothing to do with CU
Called number on back of his card…
“Oh yeah, that’s us, that’s what we sent you…”
And to this shit ALL DAY every day - how is an average human supposed to know?

"Upstate NY school district will deploy a humanoid robot teacher this fall"
https://www.syracuse.com/schools/2026/07/upstate-ny-school-district-will-deploy-a-humanoid-robot-teacher-this-fall.html
I remember the good old days when this idea was simply an easy hook for a satire plot.

Man tries doing push ups in front of a car wash to escape from police. It wasn't very effective.

"MAGA stalwart claims someone with Trump Derangement Syndrome ‘geoengineered’ DC heatwave"

#ManualTransmission #Cars have become enshittified in recent years. There is almost nothing out there that's like a small hatchback with a < 2l engine, naturally aspirated, yet which has a top gear that lets you cruise at around 2500 RPM at 100 km/h.
The worst offender I found so far: 6-speed #Kia Souls. The overall ratio of 6th gear is about what 4th gear was in the 1998 Honda Civic DX hatch i had years ago.
Why would I want to flip through 6 gears, just to get to 4th? And then continue driving in 4th after hitting the freeway? #FacePalm
So far the only thing I found with non-sucky gearboxes are #Mazda 3s. They are a little large.
Mini Coopers are good also, but they are finicky about fuel and built by BMW (expensive parts, maintenance, issues, ...).
A boy was found dead in a pool. Apparently, Taste of Italy took that up as a challenge to come up with the worst possible response to that.
https://cbs6albany.com/news/local/taste-of-italy-owner-addresses-controversial-comment-about-death-of-young-boy
"Cappello’s wife had previously told CBS6 off-camera that she wrote the comment after mistakenly believing she was posting from a personal account rather than the restaurant’s account."
There, that makes the asinine comments all better!

The headline: "Red Lobster’s Ultimate Endless Shrimp promotion is described as a ‘car crash’ for the company, lawsuit says"
The second bullet point that undermined the headline: "“Thai Union doubled down on a campaign to squeeze out every drop of value that it could” from Red Lobster, creditors said."

"Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick told reporters on Friday, "Separation of Church and state is not in the Constitution," while standing behind Trump."

Well that's certainly a take... a very wrong take, but a take.
