That guy who was on that show. Learned League trivia ronin sasquatch, amateur numismatist, flagrant vexillologist, occasional blue hair w/pronouns. Sanguis in auribus, stultusque in speculo.
And only one car - and a couple of minor Earth elementals - can stop him!

Yup, that's one of the more...niche federal crimes out there, but it is a federal crime.

During my primary game show experience back in 2000, we got to meet some very nice people from Legal after lunch. We also were escorted by PAs to and from the bathroom, kindergarten style. ABC didn't want none.

"Lena", a short story written as a future Wikipedia page on the first successful human brain upload.

"In experiments, the longest-lived MMAcevedo* underwent brain death due to entropy increase at a subjective age of 145."

* The brain image filename; "Lena" is an actual image processing test file.

"Color revolution" is MAGA cant for "Astroturf revolution sponsored by outside moneyed interests promoting woke globalist socialism".

You know, "rootless cosmopolitans".

My company's AI training was basically, "Use it if you must, but for Pete's sake don't use it for anything we can get sued for!*"

* Which is a fair amount (especially in California).

"Look at him drive freeways straight through minority neighborhoods - he reminds me of a less restrained Bill Laimbeer."

The C-suite suite is probably full of sweets.

In business "C-suite" refers to top-level management positions that generally have the word "Chief" in their title, exactly as you said.

I have now learned that "C-suite" also refers to software environments for control systems for HVAC, mechanical systems , etc. So thanks!

Technically that's a modern "blackletter" font; many versions were used in Europe starting in the 12th century, and the Nazis couldn't even settle on a "true German" font (see "Antiqua-Fraktur dispute").

I imagine the DOGE reject who shat that out:
1) didn't know any better.
2) was going for vibes.
