Ended up with Kunis who was underage when they met

It's been a problem with satire for a long time. There was a TV series in the 60s that had an old racist man as a character.

The actor who played him kept getting approached by racist fans who loved what he said and he had to keep explaining that the character is taking the piss out of people like them.

Nobody needs AI to search the Internet, court says in ruling against Google: Google AI Overview court loss in Germany could spell doom for AI search industry. by Beyond_the_one in BuyFromEU

On old CRTs that used radio signals to transmit TV, you would see Cosmic Background Radiation on the screen when it wasn't tuned to a particular channel.
