Ooof first chapter and a quote has already kicked me in the teeth. Think about how desperate to be liked so many of the tech broligarchs are.
E-reader view of a page from Cat Valente’s book Space Oddity, with the following paragraph highlighted:
“People really will do the most frightful things to feel special, you've no idea. Marvelous things, too, but the frightful ones are a lot easier to pull off. The most dangerous being in the universe is somebody who's never felt special in all their lives. If you encounter one in a dark alley, run.”

It's National Fire Prevention Week.
An ebike battery with pretend fire coming out of it. The battery is full of popcorn. The text reads: The CPSC National Fire Prevention Week Ebike battery fire popcorn bucket*. Prevent fires deliciously and charge your ebike battery safely. Never charge the battery while you're sleeping or not home.

Trying to figure out how to describe Supertree Grove in Singapore. Weird, beautiful, environmentally themed Ewok Village near the waterfront, part of a larger park near family friendly entertainment, but it also doubles as a communal light show experience. Sure, those are words.
