Interesting to see all the MAGAs and conservatives who genuflected at and took political advantage of the Kirk death now attempt to regain clout by invoking parrot’y parity sympathy for the Reiners.

It was 1961, but yes.
Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

This *is* hilarious, but as a kid, I also have to admit that this was the most intriguing board game cover art ever. It really did feel like "This is a game for adults. If I play this, I'm an adult." McSweeney's nailed that feeling.
Funniest McSweeney’s piece I’ve read in awhile: The Mastermind Box Cover: What the Hell Were They Thinking? “Warmth is for Sorry! This is not a hug. This is a chess clock in a stranger’s living room telling you your parents are getting divorced.” [mcsweeneys.net]

Elon Musk has been having an existential crisis wrapped in a panic attack uninterrupted for multiple years. It's crazy how money can insulate you from meaningful criticism and consequences, but also from anyone caring about or helping you. This is the loneliest man alive. Ha ha. The little bitch.
Elon Musk is over on Twitter posting his sad/pathetic Ai prompts.
