Humor from today's Onion: World’s Supercomputers Release Study Confirming They Are Not Powerful Enough
A "game over" screen from the video game Balance of Power.
As seen on Reddit. Since the screen is just text, I'll go ahead and reproduce the text here:

I can't see a reason as to why this would be a better place for posting links than the Open Thread.

I've seen a recent claim that adding a summary to links is enough of an inconvenience that the links may not be getting posted. I suppose people aren't checking out the media threads for links.
