I’ve used this one to display “characters remaining” in textarea elements.

The very mangy failed "lion" Aslan talks a big "game" but he and the radical antiwi were very unfair to the white witch. The witch—they call her a witch but she was a queen, she was a queen from the great land of Charn—was very white. Very white, and that's OK. They say not OK but I say OK.

they're coming through wardrobes, folks, and they're coming over through portals on train platforms and schoolyard walls, and by using rings of various colors, and they're saying "oh bother" and "by Jove" and they're taking over narnia folks and eating all the turkish delight, they eat the delight

Makes sense because Musk has no idea what it takes to produce anything, and Weiss doesn't understand what it takes to produce journalism.

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 1d

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."
