my friend works at a Spirit Halloween and he told me they are getting flooded with parents at their wits end with kids demanding Digger costumes. they are loaded up with untouched Spider-Man and K-Pop Demon Hunter costumes; every kid is screaming they want to be Digger Rockwell.

Early sunset isn’t a burden to be endured. It’s an opportunity to rest and recharge in maximum coziness. We mustn’t fight the seasons, rather we should relax into them and accept what they bring.

Crunchwrap supreme
Thinking about things like "notary public," "body politic," phrases where English puts the modifier after the noun like a Romance language. There must be some other examples

What is wrong with this guy?
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Welles
88 years ago Today, Orson Welles broadcast his radio adaptation of Herbert G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, as Halloween episode over the CBS Radio. The episode remains the most famous, the most cited and possibly the earliest example of mass media effect on the public.

Gen Z not getting driver’s licenses and cars getting too expensive so dealing with traffic is getting repackaged as a virtual play experience.
This is arguably the best GTA 6 leak, and I really like it - after all, you’ll be spending 60% of your time traveling around.

Actually, you’re expected to clean a nearby Airbnb once a month, just as part of your regular routine, even if you don’t use Airbnb AT ALL. You should have been sent a little bucket with cleaning supplies, instructions, and a local coupon book—Airbnb’s way of saying “thank you.”

Elon Musk found us here. We’re indigenous to this land.
If people dislike Elon Musk so much, why do they still use the platform he owns?

Are these samples really what passes for conversation these days?
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa
