Today's News, Ranked By How Much It Ruined My Mood
🔥 Most Enraging
The app I pay to play music I like now spends its energy recommending music I do not, which it calls discovery.
😩 Most Exhausting
Of course the free cure does not work, which leaves only the ones you pay for.
😤 Unreasonably Annoying
Somewhere a person is missing a giant puppet and has decided, on reflection, not to come forward.
🤷 Somehow Also Happening
It got into a yard it could not get out of, much like my trips through Ikea.
❖   And Some Other Stuff   ❖
Briefly, And With Limited Enthusiasm
Older adults improved on memory and stress tests after three weeks of placebo pills, even when told the pills were fake — Their minds improved on a pill everyone admitted was nothing, which is a discount I would like applied elsewhere.
