7·3 days agoTOKYO: A man was arrested after stabbing eight people and injuring seven others with what was believed to be bleach at a rubber factory in central Japan on Friday (Dec 26), officials said.
Curious to find out the backstory.

Turning Point OU tweeted screenshots of the assignment, the essay, and the professors’ responses.
I transcribed them in the OP under spoiler accordions, to make them easier to read and so you’re not blasted with the whole thing all at once.
9·5 days agoI love this thread. It’s like a quick list for who to block.
24·5 days agoI used to have narcissism, but then I helped myself out of it.
I did such an amazing job (the best job, in fact) that I don’t have it anymore.
They also got the student’s last name wrong for some reason.

24·6 days agoThe presentation at LPC 2025 by Meta engineers was in fact titled “How do we make a Steam Deck scheduler work on large servers.” At Meta they have explored SCX_LAVD as a “default” fleet scheduler for their servers that works for a range of hardware and use-cases for where they don’t need any specialized scheduler.
🤣
Would be hilarious if all the day laborers went to a competing hardware store and Home Depot saw their sales drop by 50%.
Honestly, posting all of this on Xitter looks like an own-goal by Turning Point, but you can tell they don’t see it that way.
Here’s the full text of her assignment, what she wrote, and what her professors said.
I went down a retro pc gaming rabbit hole a while ago. It was the one game I couldn’t get working on my machine. Feels good that something useful came out of it

This is by far the largest music metadata database that is publicly available. For comparison, we have 256 million tracks, while others have 50-150 million. Our data is well-annotated: MusicBrainz has 5 million unique ISRCs, while our database has 186 million.
Does this mean the MusicBrainz database will soon go from 5 million to 186 million tracks?
They linked it because of the reason Volkswagen was selling the factory.
You either didn’t read the article (I get it, it’s paywalled) or you’re intentionally misrepresenting the link.
Either one makes your argument look bad.
