1. How a Jeopardy! Contestant’s Hand Gesture Became Part of a Conspiracy - The New York Times

   I love/hate this. Quite amazing where we’ve got to.

2. The Absurdity is the Point - Galaxy Brain

   A decent attempt to try and describe the weirdness of the current state of internet / crypto / meme news. “Personally, it scrambles my brain.” (via Web Curios)

3. The Ballad of the Canceled Cretin - Ed Zitron’s Where’s Your Ed At

   Good takes. (Although 32 years ago the headmistress vetoed “cretin” in a play I’d written, as offensive to those with cretinism, so no one’s perfect Ed.)
