Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.
We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

We don't have a big enough sill to put a menorah in the window which is too bad because the prospect of public shame might be enough motivation for me to clean the old wax off, maybe.

One of the best parts of parenting is watching your kids grow increasingly accomplished and talented but one of the worst parts of parenting is watching your home fill up with infinite priceless masterpieces your child slaved over for a whole five minutes and won't let you throw out.

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

The biggest problem in my marriage is that sometimes I want to listen to the same song on repeat for three to forty-seven hours and my spouse weirdly does not enjoy that.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

Not everybody needs to be a strawberry. There’s room for cranberries in this world too. You can be weird and sour and only tolerated by people around the holidays because they grew up with you. I know you can. You can be fun when mixed with enough vodka. I believe in you. You can live in a bog.
