Well - Tarantino just gave us (me and Matthew) a bad review, and I must say, I'm not that pleased!

"Blackfacing" is not a word... neither is "home office" or "handy". The only problem is: clearly, they are words... just not in British or American English.

Dieser Satz ist sehr wiederverwendbar, gerade als zweiter Satz in der Unterzeile von der online-Version einer Zeitung:
"Wer jetzt glaubt, damit sei schon alles gesagt, irrt gewaltig."
Das passt überall, oder? @zeit.de 📰

Und wie geht es nun mit Russland und der Ukraine weiter? Die „Berliner Zeitung“ weiß, wer es wirklich weiß: ChatGPT. Klar, weil die KI „über mehr Informationen verfügt als alle internationalen Experten zusammen und sich somit vermutlich ein umfassenderes Bild machen kann.“ 🤷♂️

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992
