Rockstar Will Let Terminally Ill Fan Play GTA 6 Early

I suppose we should just be happy someone’s actually going to get to play GTA 6. We used to be a proper country with proper bucket lists, like throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game or flying with the Blue Angels. What would be your completely mundane last wish? I’d like to go to the DMV without having to wait

Letter writing enjoys a revival as fans seek connection and a break from screen time

Since no one knows how to write cursive anymore, they’re all going to be in block lettering like a ransom note. When was the last time you wrote a letter? Thinking about taking it up again?

The Last Four Years Ch. 14: The Filibuster That Brought the Senate to a Standstill

Also Worth A Look…

• Bank of England ‘Must Plan for a Financial Crisis Triggered by Aliens’ - I don’t understand why that would have an impact on the financial world. Even if they hold a White House press conference tomorrow and introduce the ambassador for Glarnak 7, you’re still going to be expected to pay your mortgage. It would certainly be an interesting and historic event, but I don’t see why learning aliens exist would really change anyone’s daily life. Unless of course they brought a cook book with them

• Trump Plan Would Open 401(k) Accounts for Down Payments - They’re saying a portion of the home’s value would then became an asset within your 401k. This strikes me as a pretty terrible idea and makes very little sense. If a portion of the home value is considered part of your 401k, how are you supposed to access it without selling the house?

• TSA to charge $45 to get through security starting Feb. 1 - Basically, you’re going to have to have a Real ID or a Passport, or you’re going to have to pay to get through security. That’s even worse than baggage fees

• Man who received experimental pig kidney transplant now has a human organ - The transplant itself was very successful, but doctors grew concerned when he started mumbling, “Th-th-th-that’s all, folks,” during routine checkups

• So Apparently, Your AI Girlfriend Can and Will Dump You - I mean really, can you blame her?

• Florida Man Arrested After Allegedly Doing Corvette Donuts in Church Parking Lot on First Date - I’m guessing that there won’t be a second date

• No link between Tylenol use in pregnancy and autism or ADHD, new study finds - Where does Tylenol go to get its reputation back?

• ‘Baby, don’t move’: Australian woman wakes to find massive python on her chest - That’s just Jock’s pet snake Reggie

• Wife Wins $4.5 Million Mansion After Ignoring Husband’s Advice ‘Not to Bother’ - She’s going to be holding that over his head for the rest of his life

• Man Registers Potato as Suppressor with ATF - That just seems like a waste of a perfectly good potato
