Congratulations to Ukraine on its Eurovision 2022 victory.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one wayward delivery robot, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

“Fred Savage was fired last Friday as executive producer and director of The Wonder Years reboot because Fred Savage is an asshole, and if that comes as a surprise to you, welcome to the 21st century!

RIP, Vangelis, composer who won an Oscar for his score to the movie Chariots of Fire.
“SpaceX, the aerospace firm founded by Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, paid a flight attendant $250,000 to settle a sexual misconduct claim against Musk in 2018″.
It’s going to be a bad hurricane season. Anytime the year 2005 comes up, look out.
