A not-important thing these email drops have nevertheless left me thinking about: Do people type this way? Even on phones, I don’t get it. Why the random spaces? Is this text all copy-pasted from WordPerfect 5.1? I don’t care about people typing informally in emails and texts, but I’m so confused.

oh well, I guess that I, as a dad of a toddler, will not be playing Black Ops 7
The story campaign in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has numerous restrictions tied to its always-online nature, with no method of pausing levels.
You'll also be booted from your game if you're idle for too long. https://bit.ly/3JNJqn4

I couldn't fault any voter for putting Judge or Raleigh atop their ballot...

Aaron Judge won his third MVP. It was really close. He's the 13th player in history with three MVPs. Cody Bellinger got a few down ballot votes.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

The thing about "release the Epstein files" is that more than enough stuff has already been released to demonstrate nearly 100% that the president was part of a pedophile sex trafficking ring. That's already out. If you don't believe that at this point, it's an active choice on your part

how ever did filmgoers' feeble minds contend with the disorienting leaps in "continuity" when the actor playing Bond changed???
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Trying to imagine my son getting excited because I told him that, when bedtime comes around tonight, he can ask me for my permission to stay up until dawn playing video games.
Sure, man, ask away. We both know what the answer is going to be.

I don’t know if I’m ever going to get over Trump saying “big play coming up” on 2nd and 7.
Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Trying to imagine the political fallout of caving for nothing, thus implying that you really were the party obstructing the government for no reason. They’re gonna get so goddamned burned by this for no fucking reason.
