A popular saying goes that the universe will keep teaching you the same lesson until you finally learn it and it turns out the same rule applies to a certain local friendship group, who, despite countless weekly reminders, still haven’t grasped the golden rule of trivia night: never, under any circumstances, change the first answer you put down.

The friendship group in question, who go by the trivia name ‘I wish this microphone was a dick’ may have arrived at the Lord Smelson Hotel in Betoota Ponds as friends, but they certainly didn’t leave as one, with one question dismantling the entire fabric of their friendship. [...]

Lighting up his phone night and day with their cruel taunts, a group of teenage girls reportedly convinced Vice President JD Vance to kill himself Tuesday. “Everyone I know thinks you’re so gross,” 16-year-old Bailey Hayworth said in a video message she sent to Vance, causing the vice president of the United States to throw himself on his bed as he contemplated ending everything just to stop the constant stream of barbs from the high school sophomore and her mean friends on the junior varsity volleyball team—Abigail, Paige, Payton, and Sofia.

In the latest of a series of escalations in President Donald Trump’s highly publicized war on “woke,” the U.S. Department of Justice reportedly removed all mentions of justice from its website Friday.

The purge follows a directive from the DOJ last week to roll back pro-justice programs and delete thousands of webpages that contained banned words, including “fairness,” “integrity,” “due process,” and “honor.” Citing an executive order from the president, Attorney General Pam Bondi directed her department to comb through all its articles, images, videos, and social media posts to remove any “un-American, leftist propaganda” related to upholding the rule of law, keeping the nation safe, or protecting citizen’s rights.

“Justice is a discriminatory form of woke cultural Marxism that has no place in our Justice Department,” Bondi said during a press conference, adding that pro-justice policies actively divided Americans, spread misinformation, and distracted from the DOJ’s core mission. “Anyone who says that justice is our department’s strength—or that we should promote dangerous ideals that imply Americans will be treated with dignity or compassion in the eyes of the law—is sadly mistaken.”
To ensure compliance, Bondi ordered the deletion of every word in the
phrase “equal justice under the law.”

“Thanks to Donald Trump, justice is dead,” she added. “And this is just the beginning.” [...]

Math rock band SKULK submitted their newest album “Infinities of Perplexion” for peer review before releasing it to the public, sources report.

“It’s standard practice in our field to do this after wrapping up production,” said drummer Larry Kremer. “Peer review is absolutely necessary in math rock to ensure each work meets the standards of the genre and contributes to advanced knowledge for society on the whole. Can you imagine a world in which math rock bands could just unleash whatever crackpot pieces of music they want without them undergoing a rigorous review process? It would be chaos, and not in an enlightening, non-linear dynamical systems sense. Thankfully, we have institutions in place to ensure every album has been studied by experts before reaching the ears of consumers.”

Dave Hernandez, drummer for the band Integrals, peer reviewed SKULK’s new album before it was released. [...]

Following a wave of conservative backlash to the recent cinematic reboot of Superman, U.S. president Donald Trump has announced that all imports from Krypton will be subject to a 35% tariff.

The sweeping tariff was announced at 12:30am via Trump’s Truth Social platform.

“These Kryptonians have been taking us for a ride for years now. We’ve been treated very unfairly by them,” said Trump, switching his usual MAGA hat for a ‘Lex Luthor was right’ cap. “From now on, if you want to make a super-powered mech-suit in this country, it will be with 100% American kryptonite.” [...]

Ian Williams wakes up one morning to find $1,338 has been stolen from his account via two Google Pay transactions. Two years later, he's taking on NAB at the Supreme Court, with no lawyers to help him.

In this video, Bill Alverson of AMD shows us the tools he uses to troubleshoot and program RAM, including EXPO profiles and timings, and motherboard VRM protections. We also go through AMD's internal-only BIOS that it provides to partners, giving a better idea for the platform they build on. Bill also tells a story about a man named "Dave." You should listen to at least that, if nothing else.

This time, we are joined by Yu Ozeki, Head of the Licensing Business Department, Licensing Division. Since joining COVER Corporation in 2020, he has played a key role in launching the company’s licensing business and has continued to drive a wide range of collaboration projects with partner companies ever since.

Licensing is not just about approving and overseeing the use of VTuber characters and trademarks, but it is also about thoughtfully shaping projects that support hololive production-affiliated talents and deliver new value and excitement to their fans. At the same time, the team is committed to protecting the brand by ensuring product quality and exploring ideas that can make a real impact on the market and the industry as a whole.

In early 2025, just a few months ago, the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) introduced "Hunter," the latest in its line of supercomputing systems designed for complex simulations, data analytics, and AI workloads. Replacing the older "Hawk" system, Hunter marks a significant architectural departure, prioritizing energy efficiency, tight CPU-GPU integration, and scalable performance in heterogeneous workloads.

This week, in collaboration with AMD and HPE, we had the chance to visit HLRS, and were able to explore the hardware, software, and infrastructure underlying Hunter. [...]
