French is fantastic for accidentally labelling your product as terrible. Past triumphs include the Toyota MR2 ("shitty") and the Audi etron ("dog turd")

It's actually French and means "cat, I farted."

My wife is moaning about "these kids who weren't born when Fruits Basket was made" and I'm like YES THIS IS WHO I WANT IN CONGRESS. An eye to the past, but a foot in the future!

This is not the quality of pseudoscience infotainment to which I have grown accustomed Teasing the public with fraudulent or self-deluded promises of aliens used to mean something. It took work. It meant slapping togetherโ€ฆ

I have a complaint about Avi Loeb's latest work and I want to speak to management.

Thankyou. I think it's more like the Segway which is a genuinely interesting and useful bit of tech that also got ludicrously hyped and pushed into use cases it had no business being in.

Sunk-cost fallacy. First 500 didn't work so they did another 500? Guys - the first one didn't work so why would the second? You just look desperate.

Far more effective and impressive to commit to the whole distance up front.

The Race to Find a Measles Treatment as Infections Surge The measles vaccine was so effective the disease was considered eliminated in the U.S., but a resurgence of outbreaks is spurring a need for drugs.

As the US hits a 33-year high in measles infections, there is now a "race" to find a treatment for the disease.

One pharma company "is banking on a continuing decline in vaccination rates to fuel a need for measles treatmentsโ€”and in turn, more investor interest"

I suspect he means "claim" in the the Eddie Izzard "do you have a flag?" sense.

Reminds me how Playstation Home had virtual videogame cabinets that ran real games, but only one person could play them at a time, so you had to queue up for them. Like, form an actual queue, in a virtual space, to play a virtual game, while using your VR videogame console.

The good news is all this fake crap will burn nicely when we invite the Canadians down to cleanse the place.

Half the country is currently rehearsing this behaviour with our glorious leader and his 1200% price cuts which are absolutely a thing that is not only true, but also physically possible.

New all-electric town in Kent strikes deal to supply power back to the grid Otterpool Parkโ€™s 8,500 homes will run on solar power and batteries โ€“ with enough renewable energy to help keep lights on elsewhere One of Britainโ€™s first all-electric towns to be built with almost no reliance on fossil fuels could soon help to power the grid with renewable energy. The developers of a new garden town in Kent have struck a deal with a leading energy infrastructure company to design and operate a โ€œsmartโ€ energy grid, which could mean its 8,500 households act as a virtual power plant for the rest of the country.

Clearly the cover for an unreleased 90s video game, so I crudely added the Psygnosis logo.

What does ICE need with such an absurd number of people you might ask? Well, come polling day, they'll want to go to every single voting line and arrest all the brown people. That takes bodies.

Hmmm... that's a good idea. I'm not super into jewelry. Maybe rainbow laces for my shoes? Or I could put a rainbow around my watch strap.
