Let’s cut headline writers some slack. They seem stressed.

Updated apparently (or I see a different Reuters headline anyway)
Reuters: Trump links autism to Tylenol and vaccines, claims not backed by science

Updated (or at least I’m seeing a different headline). Reuters is usually pretty good. I don’t think we need to freak out over every headline.

Developer of IceBlock app sounds chill
What were the initial fears and challenges? Did you worry about whether the Apple app store was going to allow it on? How confident was I I could do it? I don't want to sound egotistical - and don't print this so I sound like a fucking asshole - but, dude, I can fucking do it. Of course, I could do it.

How can it be that the Gulf of Mexico has no reviews on Google Maps? Maybe if we get them in quick Google won’t change the name

Thinking of this intro
Matt Bai: We’ve seen plenty of strange firsts in this campaign, but still I was struck by hearing a nominee for president call her opponent an actual fascist — and in the first three minutes of a town hall! I think I would summarize Kamala Harris’s closing argument from the night as: “You really need to vote for anybody but Donald Trump. And I’m anybody.” Right? Do we think that argument landed?

Uh, dude
App Store review: “If life is meaningless, play this ***** Fri. If life is meaningless, play this well-designed game! But first read or listen to Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl. One of the ways I find meaning is by rehabilitating and tending the land towards greater biodiversity (and thus more resilience as climate changes). I got distracted from realizing this by M:tG, then WoW, Hearthstone, many other games, and momentarily by Slay the Spire, and if I was more hopeless I would keep Balatro installed. Within the paradigm of games as a (fleeting) source of purpose, five stars! (got to Ante 4, and can see how all-consuming this diversion could be) Within the paradigm of caring for the many generations to come, and honoring the efforts of those who came before us? Balatro is a waste of time and resources.”
