Nothing like OJT. That's on the job training. Driving a city bus of protestors. Who were asked prior if any of them knew how to drive the bus.

Those poor anacondas didn't want none. Oh, and if you're smuggling snakes, maybe leave the machete at home?

Of course when you have an outdoor wedding you always run the risk of nature crashing the party, like when a deer decided to crash a wedding and take a nibble out of the bride’s bouquet, or this grizzly bear that brutally mauled a moose in the background of a wedding at Glacier National Park.

It happens.

But wedding guests got quite the surprise at a wedding in Oklahoma when they thought a cow had plopped down in a nearby field to watch the ceremonies.

Well it turns out it wasn’t a cow at all, but actually a furry in a cow costume with a camera who ended up taking photos of the wedding.

...

But this particular furry was just laying out in the field as the wedding took place nearby, giving the impression from afar that it was a normal cow, until it stood up and started taking pictures of the ceremony.

That’s gonna be a great story that the bride and groom can tell their kids someday. And maybe it even opens up a whole new market of wedding paparazzi. Don’t want the photographer in the shot? Have them dress up like a cow and lay down in the background. Has the furry community explored this business opportunity yet?

Customs problems and spoilage are the least of their concerns.

Coming soon to a battlefield near you. If it can bypass the export controls, that is.

Baltimore County Police arrested Pikesville High School’s former athletic director Thursday morning and charged him with allegedly using artificial intelligence to impersonate Principal Eric Eiswert, leading the public to believe Eiswert made racist and antisemitic comments behind closed doors.

Dazhon Darien was charged with disrupting school activities, after investigators determined they’d faked his voice and circulated the audio on social media in January, according to the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office. Darien’s nickname, DJ, was among the names mentioned in the audio clips he allegedly faked.

Eiswert’s voice, which police and AI experts believe was simulated, made disparaging comments toward Black students and the surrounding Jewish community, was widely circulated on social media.
