A bunny in a suit and shades jumps off a plane, with an unopened parachute and a briefcase like D.B. Cooper. The briefcase has started leaking dollar bills into the air, to the bunny's consternation. He plummets into the clouds at night

There are lots of reasons why I wouldn't want this to actually happen - up to and including the fact that he's wholly undeserving - but possibly the *funniest* thing the Nobels could do is give the prize to Marco Rubio.

Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13)

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Tesla's Lars Moravy says that AVs "don't blink," but if a Tesla gets mud, or bird shit, or a sufficiently large bug on one of its cameras it has absolutely zero redundancy to fall back on. That's a potentially lethal failure mode that a human wouldn't even notice.

It is genuinely odd that this same conversation keeps happening, and it's always about Newsom. Yet I've never seen the affirmative argument *for* Newsom come up in one of these.

It's usually "he's a bad candidate for X, Y, and Z specific reasons" versus "don't criticize a democrat".

The eyes are wrong. Both in the sense that they don't look like you, and that they just look *wrong* in general.
