faceball 2000, print ad screenshot & caption, game boy (1992) archive.org/details/vide...

gameboy screenshot, first person, 3d maze, with floating happy faces, one looks like a ball, one has a round bottom but looks flatter on top, one looks more like a square but isn't smiling (straight mouth).
caption reads: watch out! they only look happy!

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

SWIFT: Trav, honey?
KELCE: (looks up from first edition Krazsnahorkai in original Hungarian) (pauses rare Steve Reich LP, Japanese pressing) Yes?
