It's supposed to resemble its origins as a typewritten fax tipsheet from the '90s. But it looked dated as far back as 2000.

First "adult" sci-fi book was either I, Robot or one of Alan Dean Foster's adaptations of the animated Star Trek series ("Star Trek Logs").

Pretty sure it was Norby and the Lost Princess, by Issac and Janet Asimov.

Heck, one of my daughter's dolls even got named Blazinda.

How Chipotle became a Wall Street darling — and a 'Wall of Shame' employer Chipotle's fortunes soared under a fast-food CEO. Employees say they paid the price.

How Chipotle lost its groove.

(That "like" is for the mountains and the beer, not for the terribleness of everything.)

The 'Sausage King Of Chicago' Judges The Tesla Diner Hot Dog: COTD - The Autopian Tesla has gotten into the restaurant industry for some reason, and while its first diner looks pretty cool, apparently the food falls flat. Yet, somehow, we missed the best, or worst, part, and it’s t...

The best takedown of the Tesla hot dog can be found in the comments section of a car website. Seriously.

Man, Trump's people will stop at nothing to change the subject from the Epstein scandal.

Man, this starts off so much better and then gets so much worse.

And our shortest-serving president was Obrack Ofuane, who served negative 992 years.

I can see the Fox News segment now: "Soft-on crime liberals use taxpayer money to throw party for violent criminals."

His continued existence *is* the curse.

Nah. Bluesky needs more silly.

I hate Olive Garden, so I choose to believe this is true.

Real American heroes punch Nazis.

Makes me think of Chicago's Metra trying to come up with a new naming system for its lines. Admittedly, the solutions proposed would convey more information, but not dramatically more than just renaming the lines for their suburban termini. metra.com/newsroom/met...

The...state of rocks?

Counterpoint: wheeeeee, jets!

Some days you're the salmon who wants to spawn upstream, some days you're the bear who wants a fish.

"Indoneesia"?!?

I'm just happy to hear about a mass release that doesn't suck.

Girlfriend Changes Man Into Someone She's Not Interested In CHARLOTTE, NC–After two and a half years of subtle prodding and manipulation, Jill Nickles has finally molded boyfriend Brendan Eiler into the sort of man in whom she’s not interested.

It's the flip side of this gem:

Airport rules! Eat anything you want, at any time, and cost is no object.

(2/2) The hypothetical campaign might only be brought up because it increases interest in Harris' book. The book is much more interesting if she's viewed as a potential '28 candidate than if she rules it out. Watch to see if she makes moves to staff up a few months after the book has come out.

Kamala Harris announces a new memoir about her presidential campaign The book, "107 Days," will present a candid "behind-the-scenes account," Harris said. It's set for publication in September.

(1/2) Many people are drawing the conclusion that, between declining to run for California givernor in '26 and the announcment of a new book, Harris is laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign.

But that might be backwards--

I mean, how many of all of us are?

Thanks for this!

Also, this chart is for people only up to five years out from their tenure decisions. I'm not sure I would describe them as "senior" yet.

It'd be interesting to see this data continued for another 5 to 10 years. Does the slowdown reverse itself in those fields or plateau?
