  1. 🥳🎉 "Tim's #Favicon Fiasco! 🎨: Where storing a whole website in a 16x16 pixel square is the latest in digital minimalism. Because why store data efficiently when you can turn your browser's tab bar into a clown car of uselessness? 🚗💨"

  2. The Guardian: Starbucks Korea to temporarily shut all stores for history lesson after bungled coffee promotion

    "...The Gwangju massacre is a painful memory for many. Over 10 violent days, paratroopers crushed pro-democracy protests against military strongman Chun Doo-hwan. Victims’ groups say hundreds were killed.

It also featured the slogan “thwack on the desk”, evoking a notorious police explanation for the 1987 torture death of student activist Park Jong-chul. Authorities falsely claimed he had died after an officer “hit the desk with a thwack” during questioning.

    Marketers chose the “thwack” slogan after consulting an AI tool for suggestions, Shinsegae Group said...."
