There's this Swedish guy named Max Martin that wrote I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys. He somewhat famously didn't know english very well and just wrote lyrics that felt good to sing. Later they rerecorded with lyrics that made sense but it was way less popular

It's crazy that Jurassic World had to make mutants like indominus rex and indoraptor when they could have just used an allosaurus
Famously the most coked out and aggressive dinosaur
You could write almost any crazy behavior and the dino community would go "yeah they probably did that"

Hot take You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette is one of the most melodically well constructed songs of all time

Y'all don't understand the emotional whiplash of AI as a programmer. Half of everyone says its horrible and wont take any jobs, the other half says I will lose my job next year. I use some AI tools when I work and they're decent right now
Will I have a job in a few years? Is it mostly hype? No idea

Just thought y'all should know that the paleontology world has been shaken up by evidence that came out that what people thought were juvenile t-rexes are actually a genus of smaller t-rex called Nanotyrannus
This doesn't affect the general public but just know some people are freaking out rn

Fun fact the Nerdfighteria feed is running on my home PC right now since I've been too busy / lazy to move it onto the bluenotify server
So anytime the feed stops working for a few minutes it's probably because I rebooted my computer 😬
