  • Super detailed and interesting deep dive into the economics of credit cards rewards programs.

Crying Myself to Sleep on the Biggest Cruise Ship Ever

Want to See This Film? Movie Studios Won’t Let You.

  • I wasn’t super optimistic about this, but this review seals the deal. It looks like the Humane AI pin is a real stinker.

  • Really really want to try this game which is somehow a procedurally generated, open world detective game. Really wish it wasn’t Windows only.
