My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

I invented a game. It’s called 4 x 3. It’s like connections except that there are three words in each category, there are four categories, and one word is in all four categories. Easy mode is when you know the special word. Hard is when you don’t.

We lost a good friend the other day. Way too young. He was a *true* friend, which is so rare these days. I’m so glad I got the chance to meet him in this life.

There’s several issues I have with Mark Rober’s LIDAR video, but I think the largest comes down to lack of framing. It tried to be a science experiment, but it didn’t have all the key items to make it a good one.

I went through my old Overcast clips and found a bunch of great moments I’d forgotten about. I used to save these all the time, but now that I mostly listen in the car, I can’t do it as easily anymore. Kind of a bummer.

Boston Dynamics Dog Unstoppable At Puppy Bowl
GLENS FALLS, NY—Breaking its own record after scoring a touchdown to rack up its 600th point within the first quarter, the Boston Dynamics dog appeared unstoppable at the Puppy Bowl, sources confirmed Sunday. “It looks like Nacho is headed into the end zone, and—oh no, another brutal tackle from Spot, the robotic dog!” said game commentator Steve Levy, who clutched his head and winced as the gadget began emitting a high-pitched noise that caused the few still-standing puppies to crumple unconscious to the ground. “Oof, that’s gotta hurt! This is one dog that sure likes to play rough. It’ll be interesting to see what he does with the arm he’s protracting. Good God, Spot, no. That’s the referee! Run, everybody. Run for your lives!” At press time, the robotic dog was reportedly showboating with a victory dance on a pile of its opponents’ corpses.

WASHINGTON, DC—After running a thousand errands, working hours of overtime, and being stuck in seemingly endless gridlock traffic commuting to and from their jobs, millions of Americans were disheartened to learn that it was, in fact, only Tuesday.

Opportunities
Every single moment in life is an opportunity for:

A pun
A rhyme
A one-liner
Your puns and rhymes and one-liners (your PROs) don’t have to be good. They don’t have to make sense. But they have to be executed consistently. Repetition is recognition!

how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!
