What's that you say to me?
Does love light up your Christmas tree?
The next minute, you're blowing a fuse
And the Cartoon Network turns into the news

The Wired piece?

This should be table stakes at this point for all news orgs, but also any journalist with common sense knows they can't put money down on Polymarket or Kalshi.

Thanks!

PS - Listened to the Sound Opinions review and as scathing as Kot was, Jim went all out scalding.

Did not have much exposure to Geese, but did see a lot of Wet Leg and as I read the thread began wondering if the same forces were at play…

Then I find your comment. Interesting.

Mission Control and all of the screens and keyboards.

Our guy has three keyboards and a laptop keyboard going…

Was in 4th grade in Jan. Of 1986… and am watching now with my 4th grader with a finger on the off button.

Going to explain to everyone that it’s not them, I’m just really tense about the astronauts being safe

Coworker With Two Computer Screens Not Fucking Around FORT WORTH, TX—Credible sources within your office reported Monday that the guy on the third floor with two computer screens on his desk is not fucking around. "Amazing—he comes in here, sits down next to me and my one sorry-ass screen, turns on his two screens, and starts tearing it up," marketing assistant Todd Piotrowski said as the guy dragged a window from one screen to the other, which sources confirmed was like watching fucking Minority Report or something. "He’s got three, maybe four programs open on each screen, plus some sort of group video chat running nonstop—he’s going balls to the wall over there. How is he doing all this with only one keyboard?" Piotrowski also speculated that if there’s a limit to how many tabs you can have open in your web browser at once, this guy’s gonna hit it.

Gee, we’re about the same era me thinks and I sure as hell went back to ‘83 and ‘84 today wondering when if I’d have enough time to get home from school to my parents when the bombs started to fall.

"Literally all of Gen X" meme. A crusty-looking barfly in a sheepskin jacket, smokes a cigarette with a glass of beer in front of him, saying "Yeah not to brag or anything, but this is the seventh end of the world I've survived."

Dear Millennials and Gen Zers. An emotional support Gen Xer will soon be assigned to you to help you properly dissociate and emotionally numb yourself to the daily prospect of nuclear Armageddon.

Please be patient, as we're far fewer in numbers, and all the lead makes it harder for us to focus.

Weeks ago, my son was building a fort after school at the park & two 5th graders decided to knock it over while he was away.

Saw the whole thing happen & as my son broke into tears I walked over and suggested that they stop F'n around with other people's work.

There's a lesson for today in there.
