I have an insane theory that he’s haunted by that Tyrell Hill long TD in the 13 seconds game and will do anything to avoid a big play.

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

So, I forgot the name of it but it was like a "social media today" type class. Designed for professional masters students but I was one of two doc students in it. Took one general lesson from it (you will always be able to catch up on the discourse) but otherwise ...

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

This is a big reason why you saw more coverage of Biden's decline. It felt hidden. He didn't give interviews.

Trump is "accessible" so it feels like less of a story.

4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
Red Guy looking way way too happy yells “Hey Guys! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?”
Blue Guy next to him calmly says “Shhh”

Panel 2: 
Blue Guy tenderly puts his arms around Red Guy and says “You don’t have to do this”

Panel 3: 
Blue Guy still holds Red Guy tightly and repeats “You don’t have to do this every year”. Red Guy begins to break.

Panel 4: 
Red Guy dissolves into Blue Guy’s embrace, sobbing. He finally feels the weight of Christmas Discourse lifting from his shoulders. He is finally free.

Last year's Bills team was the perfect storm. They were good and FUN! I loved watching that team play. The vibes were immaculate.

This year's a slog.

Matthew Ehrlich & Joe Saltzman wrote a whole book and have a whole website dedicated to this phenomenon and a complete typology.
