if the York Times is so good why isn't there a New York Times

Why is it exactly 0% surprising that Gamers are upset about god mode being implemented as an accessibility feature but not about actual god mode cheats 🤔

Jim Inhofe, the Oklahoma senator who

Brought a snowball to the Senate floor to "refute" climate change

32 GB of RAM, 12th gen i7, 1 Gb/s internet connection, and Teams still takes ten seconds to get started. The software “industry” deserves a lot of awards for negating fourty years of hardware progress.

Google PR sure is taking its sweet time getting back to me about the finding that Chrome has a hidden extension that allows all *.google.com domains to monitor your CPU usage and other private system info. I'm sure they're working just as fast as they can.

We colonialised half the world over centuries for spices, and this is what we eat.

Illinois has enacted a ground breaking law that requires influencers whose kids appear in 30% or more of their social media content to pay their children. The money should be kept in a trust until the kid is 18 and if not, the child has the right to sue the parents.

This is good. Every state should enact similar laws.
