Y’all hear about this?..
Reddit is set to list on the New York Stock Exchange today — which is scary because the weirdest people on the internet will officially be in-cahoots with the weirdest people in suits. Get ready to hear Warren Buffett say “Stonks.”
The owner of an alligator seized by conservation officers in New York is fighting for its return, saying the reptile he named Albert and has shared a home with for more than three decades is a gentle giant that's no danger to anyone. Conservation officers are actually tempted to bring Albert back, because after spending that much time with a human, he’s been running up the electric bill.
Europe is struggling to coexist with wild bears. Fearing repercussions, wild bears have started wearing “civilized” red hats to “pass” as Paddington.
In a livestream on X, the paralyzed 29-year-old man used his Neuralink brain implant to control a computer. But to Musk’s dismay, the man used it to delete his X account.
Finally…
The FBI is investigating an incident where a man allegedly took a picture of someone else’s boarding pass to illegally board a Delta Air Lines flight. But finding him has proven to be difficult, as the man’s license photo seems to be an image of him holding a picture of Dwight Schrute from The Office.
