Just like Google plan with Chrome, Mozilla aren't sitting still on expanding Firefox into something resembling a web browser but with more AI.

Get in loser, we're going west to diminish
On the far Western shore of Middle Earth rests the Grey Havens, One of the last bastions of the elves in this world. This is Círdan the Shipbuilder's domain. For years now he has fashioned the vessels that will take the remaining Noldor and Sindar to the undying lands of Valinor, in Arman, hidden from the mortal realm at the end of the Third Age but for those who take the ships from this harbor (the only two exceptions to this being Gimli and Legolas, and Samwise, both many years from now). One of the great ships sits at a beautiful dock: Galadriel and Celeborn stand in front of Círdan, watching as Elrond gestures to an elderly Bilbo Baggins to board. Gandalf will join them and Frodo also, after a tearful goodbye. They will sail into the sea and soon join the Valar and Mayar and all the rest of the Elves. Frodo and Bilbo's time there will feel so short, mortals in a timeless realm, but it will be peaceful and joyous and filled with food and drink and song and harmony, and be a fitting resting place for the ring bearers. And Gimli of course, the one exception to a non-Elf ring bearer granted amnesty in Valinor, because unlike the movies, in the books he is the poet and chief moral officer of the third age, and brought peace between the two long rivaled races.

Markets require sure and steady leadership. Not a clown show.
A tweet by Jesse Rodriguez ( @jesseR ) shows a Wall Street Journal headline: "Dow Headed for Worst April Since Great Depression." The subheading reads, "Few think the administration’s negotiations with trade partners will yield results soon enough to ease the strain." A chart titled "Performance since April 2 'Liberation Day'" compares Gold futures (up ~7%), WSJ Dollar Index (down ~2%), and S&P 500 (down ~10%). Market indicators show DJIA down 2.48%, S&P 500 down 2.36%, NASDAQ down 2.55%, and Russell 2000 down significantly.

He is risen
Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord and Savior Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is touching Spock's chest for some reason and he's smiling. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones also all seem thrilled to see him. Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.
