"The smash online word game Wordle has been bought by The New York Times, which will integrate the daily word puzzle into The New York Times Games suite of word games, creator Josh Wardle announced today.

Wordle will “initially remain free to new and existing players” once it moves over to the Times’ site, and Wardle says that he’s working with The New York Times to preserve players’ existing wins and streak data once the game heads to its new home. That said, The New York Times’ announcement leaves plenty of room for the company to decide to put Wordle behind its paywall in the future."

Capitalism just can't let a good thing go un-monetized.

so because of how legacy characters work, Batman is always portrayed as being in his 30s or 40s, which means that Batman is currently a 90s kid.

One of my favorite Canterbury Tales is the Summoner's tale. So Chaucer, the dude who wrote the Tales, hated Friars because they ran the Indulgences scam where the church would forgive your sins if you had the cash. In fact, we apparently have the court records from the time Chaucer beat up a friar (1).
So in the Summoner's tale, an angel takes a friar to hell to show it off. The friar is relieved to see no friars in any of the angel's visions, and asks 'have friars such a grace/That none of them shall come into this place?'

At which point the angel tell Satan to lift up his ass, and a host of friars fly out of it like bees. So yes, Chaucer sold a popular book that said all friars live up Satan's arsehole.

@hazel "the natural numbers are countable" buddy i do not have that kind of patience

my little pony? tch, there is only one pony, OUR pony... the human pony

26 years ago, the Voyager episode "Threshold" aired, in which it was revealed that humans who break the Warp barrier turn into lizards. This episode has been wildly reviled, but those protesting it are missing an important truth.

Every single time a human breaks a speed barrier, they turn into a lizard. It's a biological fact - in attempting to break the sound barrier, we went through sixteen test pilots before Chuck Yeager mysteriously didn't turn into a lizard. There is ample pictographic evidence to show that the first humans who attempted to ride horses turned into lizards. Our simulations show that we can expect the first team of astronauts attempting FTL travel will turn into lizards.

When faced with a velocity that the human brain is unprepared for, a complex psychosomatic process is initiated and the human turns into a lizard in response. After the new "maximum" velocity is normalized and no longer seen to be excessive, humans stop being startled by the travel velocity and cease turning into lizards. It's just basic biology.

at least, that's what I'm gonna do as soon as I can get my hands on an infinite supply of bricks, time, and non-Euclidean mortar

surreptitiously connecting cities across the globe by adding new space-defying turns and cut-throughs into their back alleys and quiet spots until they're all a confused and delightful polyglot maze of snickets, ginnels, sudden weather changes, nighttime food stands, urban gardens, and feral flaneurs
