Would You Like Fries With That? Should I Toss Them In The Coke?

I haven’t heard anything about how Google and Wendy’s are doing with their AI ordering experiment, but according to this here report from the BBC, IBM and McDonald’s have been trying something similar and it’s gone so well that the system is being removed this summer. It seems that it failed for the very reasons …

We Hope You’ve Enjoyed Flying With Us Today, And That You Will Continue To Enjoy It While We Ruin Your Plans For No Good Reason

He Was A Good Man, Taken Too Soon By The Schools And The Gun Lobby That Swore To Protect Him

In the right context, I don’t see anything wrong with asking high school students to write their own obituaries. I took a writer’s craft class when I was that age, and I recall more than one assignment that required us to write things about ourselves. It wouldn’t have felt out of place at all if …

That’s Some Fine Police Work…Hey, Where’d Lou Go?

Hooooh boy. I can’t wait to hear how the OPP explains this, assuming, of course, that it’s better at finding explanations than it apparently is at finding bodies that are right under its nose. To be fair, it does sound like the service did a lot of work here. Unfortunately it ended up being the …

According to Mason’s arrest affidavit, he knew the owner of the dog and was taking the goldendoodle out for a walk in the apartment complex. Then, he started having sex with the dog in front of witnesses, including adults and a juvenile who …

This Joke Kills Every Time

Remember the time when that gun shop owner shot his buddy’s face off for giggles? This is that, but with cops. I guess all that highly trained to make good, split second decisions stuff doesn’t apply when you’re off duty. A 23-year-old Florida sheriff’s deputy was fatally shot by his fellow deputy roommate over the …
