Between this and the ICE exit from MN, today has been a good news day.

It’s just refreshing to see that the good guys can still pull off a W every once in a while.

I’m proud that I chose to learn Norwegian.

(Jeg er stolt over at jeg valgte Γ₯ lΓ¦re norsk).

The words β€œ$1 trillion dollar pay package” have no business ever being strung together in a sentence.

Dead internet theory is watching Russian laptops arguing with North Korean laptops and watching them both get retweeted by internet celebrities.

I don’t think you need to apologize for going on a podcast.

I look forward to listening to them both.

Not enough has been mentioned about how web ads, most specifically mobile web ads, are pushing people to use AI chatbots that have already crawled the page they would have clicked on.

Sauber did not have any champagne ready for Hulkenberg's podium, so they were lent some from Mercedes so they could celebrate in a rather nice gesture. #F1 #BritishGP

Elon’s about to lose his government contracts for starting a political party that no one’s going to remember in a year.

This is extremely entertaining.

You’d have thought his breakup with Trump would’ve been rock bottom for Elon’s ketamine problem…

But perhaps not.

This is the kind of game announcement we’d get in, like, 2012.

And I’m into it.
