I have not felt like eating at any point today, so I haven’t. But I ate lots yesterday? I will probably eat a bunch of random stuff later.

Yeah, that would have been smart. But Huffman has publicly (and unwisely) admitted that he admires Elon, which means he is currently not at home to Mr. Smart.

Thanks for the link, that article is delightfully savage. I laughed so hard my cat came over to check if I was dying.

There’s a Dorian Gray joke in here somewhere, lol.
