Narrator: “And it was clear that Mike Satterfield did not fit the description of the man the eye witness saw jumping through the salon window.” Guest: “He’s an enormous man. With all due respect to him, he couldn’t get out that window. There’d be a hole in the side of the mobile home if Mike tried to get out the window and he’d tell you the same thing.”

A man asks, “Why doesn’t caramelized onion powder exist?” Then proceeds to make it from scratch with much success.

A reporter asks Nick Emmanwori’s mother: “What are you expecting to go over there to San Francisco to watch this game and watch your son?”
 She replied:
“To be honest with you, I don’t know. Everybody keep asking me, ‘Do you know what you’re going for?’ I said, Super Bowl. They said, ‘Do you know how many people die to go to Super Bowl?’ I’m like, how? (laughs) I don’t know. I have opportunity to go there. So I’m like, okay, maybe this is something big that, I don’t know, it’s big. I don’t know what I’m expecting. All I’m going there is to shout ‘Yay, Super Bowl, Touch Down, We Win’. (laughs) That’s it. (laughs) That’s all I’m going to do.”

Rural counties are bearing this burden invisibly.

Marion County’s approval came just weeks after developers proposed a similar complex in another majority-Black rural county in Colleton County, South Carolina. The Colleton County complex came to be after developers first tried — and then failed — to place it in a predominantly white rural community where residents organized fierce resistance and filed lawsuits to block the project.

Text reads: “As a rare winter storm bore down on South Carolina, bringing conditions that historically paralyze the state for days, local officials in a rural county quietly pushed through a massive $2.4 billion data center without most residents knowing it was even on the table.”

A person in a white shirt and pants is standing with their arms outstretched behind them in front of a very cloudy light blue sky. Text reads: “Pantone Color of the Year 2026. Cloud Dancer and 4201”.

Screen shot of a quote tweet. The original tweet is by @masonwarner and shows two AI generated images: one is of a man smiling at dinner in a restaurant and the other is of the same man at a museum looking at art. The original tweet states: “Yeah, nano banana is gonna kill instagram.” The quote tweet is by @jxwaly and states: “We have to live our lives,” they say in response to taking COVID precautions, as they create false photographs of a life they aren’t living.”

$Screenshot of NY Times post about an article on AI in schools. Caption reads: “A.I. is changing classrooms. "Hard Fork" this week features an interview with a co-founder of Alpha Schools, MacKenzie Price, about how her private K-12 schools are using A.I. to generate personalized lesson plans and enabling teachers to spend their time motivating rather than teaching students. https://nyti.ms/47qV5lb”. The image below features a picture of Mackenzie Price sitting in an empty classroom with red pants and navy button down top. Text overlay on the photo reads: “Our kids are crushing their academics, and they’re doing it in a fraction of the time.”$
