Did John Cena successfully parlay a meme into a successful movie career?

I had never really heard of him outside of wrestling until the memes, and since then his movie career has actually been on a pretty impressive trajectory.

An unlikely silver lining if AI companies get their way is that some unlicensed fan works may receive greater legal standing

The 2010 cover of Wavin' Flag and the quarantine cover of Imagine feel really similar
en.wikipedia.org

Both popped up with a slew of celebrities. Felt pretty soulless then disappeared. As far as I know [Wavin' Flag did raise one million dollars Haiti](https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/k-naan-s-wavin-flag-raises-1m-for-haiti-relief-1.898738) though.

There's lots of rightful effort to help with suicidal ideation, but nowhere near the same amount for murder ideation.

We often share news with each other, but never a single "new"

It just occurred to me that we always refer to news in the plural sense. Even if we're just telling somebody one thing that happened, it's always "news". Makes me wonder if, in the past, there was ever a convention of referring to news in the singular sense.

AI Martin

If we put the complete works of George RR Martin into an AI. I wonder if the AI could make a more generally satisfactory ending to GOTs TV?

The Winter Olympics should technically be called the Low-Friction Olympics.

Except maybe the shooty part of the biathlon, I guess.

Instead of a health tax on sugar, why not remove sugar subsidies?

It seems weird that some areas of the US have considered a health tax on sugary drinks and other items containing a lot of sugar, corn syrup, etc. Why not instead remove subsidies on those raw materials instead? Otherwise people's tax dollars are being used twice on the same product
