How a Cat Beat Hades 2
Hades 2 was beaten by a cat and we should talk about it.

It was wildly successful and the Greek pantheon is calling me the ultimate hero.

I got to say, putting the cup on the floor is gross. This is his first seriously questionable move as mayor.
Mayor Mamdani hasn't moved into Gracie Mansion yet and remains in his Astoria apartment for now, his team says. He expects to move at some point before his lease is up Jan. 30.
His team also shares this pic of him taking the W train to City Hall this morning from Astoria.

My son in college just referred to chatgpt as "geepers" (pronounced "jeepers" which is only one of the wrong things going on here). He said he got it from a friend. I'm concerned and at the same time also feel like this is not a bad name actually.

I think I've realized a big part of why having the search box at the bottom right above the keyboard# is awful - it breaks a lot of parity between apps and web pages. The basic formulation of a website is a single pane of content that scrolls. For an app, it's locked to the dimensions of the screen.

A schmear is explicitly a small amount of cream cheese, just enough to thinly cover the surface of the bagel. It's not a generic word for "spread".

I continue to be unreasonably annoyed at products that are released in October/November and then immediately go on sale for Black Friday. Way to penalize your most dedicated and excited customers.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
