Kinda crazy how this was recorded in 1985. Jello is singing about exactly what’s going on today, and you don’t have to change a single lyric. youtu.be/sfYNyZha0vw?...

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

So nobody’s written an article about the new Sora 2 model authorizing wholesale plaigarism with the title “I.P., Freely”? What are we even doing here?

I didn’t think Control’s Ashtray Maze could be topped as just an insane, laugh out loud joyful gaming moment. Then I played Initiation 4 in Alan Wake 2.

Well done, @remedygames.com!

Apologize for retweeting the same article twice but - and I say this with no hint of irony - this is a pretext to the single largest, easily litigated lawsuit in human history. This is an egregious violation of IP law, law protected quite literally & specifically by the Constitution. Total insanity.
