Posted the full text. It's pretty short as it's a new event.

A volcano in southwestern Iceland began erupting Monday with lava fountains reaching up to 330 feet and the glow visible miles away in the center of the capital, Reykjavik. The location of the fissure poses a risk to the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power plant and to the town of Grindavík, which was evacuated last month because of heightened seismic activity. “We are looking at a worst-case scenario,” said Thorvaldur Thordarson, a volcanologist in Iceland. “The eruption appears big, and only about two kilometers from major infrastructure.”

My Spotify wrapped had a special message from Weird Al (I know, I have great taste!) with the following:

“It's my understanding that I had over 80 million streams on Spotify this year. So if I'm doing the math right, that means I earned $12, so, you know, enough to get myself a nice sandwich at a restaurant. So from the bottom of my heart, thanks for your support. And, uh, thanks for the sandwich.”

Why not play something like a rogue-lite instead? Pretty much all action with minimal dialog.

Hades would be great. It does have a lot of dialog, but it's in short spurts and is actually pretty great.

I've also just started 30xx, which is a Megaman rogue-lite. Almost no dialog but pretty fun.

As someone who enjoys the magic systems of Brandon Sanderson, I do piss on Star Wars for not having a logical basis for The Force.

Actually it's not that bad. Harry Potter is much worse.

Nope, I always heard or it being attributed to Einstein too. But this random site says it's from a 1983 book.

The quote is far older than Far Cry 3.

Sure, but you actually have to work hard for your $60k. Don't want the $300k people to feel bad for firing you for not supporting their salary.

Tandy Deskmate! Guess you never forget your first.

Been seeing a lot of this stuff in my Google news feed.

"This game is Hades + Dead Cells!" etc.

Such an easy way to get clicks. I've stopped clicking though.

Logically incoherent describes pretty much everything that comes out of Danielle Smith's mouth.

I thought it was a far side comic I saw as a kid, but after googling it I couldn't find the original source.
