a lion dance just happened right on the street outside my house for the lunar new year!!!

Video of a traditional Chinese Lion Dance on the side of a residential street, with two groups of four people in single file lines underneath large, white, flowing lion costumes. The two lions walk around while the people in front extend and retract the lion's head, opening the mouth to receive small donations from onlookers while drummers in traditional dress play behind them.

someone is seriously asking for a kid to hop on their dirt bike, catch some sweet air, and land directly on their car

An open plywood truck bed full of dirt with the back door/gate swung wide open and wheelbarrow ramp let down. Stuck into the dirt at the top of the ramp is a long, wide piece of plywood, essentially extending the ramp in a way where a kid could ride their bike up the whole thing and launch themselves right onto the SUV that's parked behind the truck bed. Which would be pretty sweet.

now taking bets on when we’ll have to start paying for Wordle

An excerpt from an article about The New York Times' acquisition of Wordle: "Wordle was acquired from its creator, Josh Wardle, a software engineer in Brooklyn, for a price 'in the low seven figures,' The Times said. The company said the game would initially remain free to new an existing players."

The last sentence has been circled, with the word "initially" underlined thrice and accompanied by three question marks.

A notice from the Josh Wardle, creator of popular word game Wordle, titled "An update on Wordle":

Since launching Wordle, I've been in awe of the response from everyone that has played. The game has gotten bigger than I ever imagined (which I suppose isn't that much of a feat given I made the game for an audience of 1).

It has been incredible to watch a game bring so much joy to so many, and I feel so grateful for the personal stories some of you have shared with me - from Wordle uniting distant family members, to provoking friendly rivalries, to supporting medical recoveries.

On the flip side, I'd be lying if I said this hasn't been a little overwhelming.
After all, I am just one person, and it is important to me that, as Wordle grows, it continues to provide a great experience to everyone.

Given this, I am incredibly pleased to announce that I've reached an agreement with The New York Times for them to take over running Wordle going forward. If you've followed along with the story of Wordle, you'll know that NYT games play a big part in its origins and so this step feels very natural to me.

I've long admired the NYT's approach to their games and the respect with which they treat their players. Their values are aligned with mine on these matters and I'm thrilled that they will be stewards of the game moving forward.

When the game moves to the NYT site, it will be free to play for everyone, and I am working with them to make sure your wins and streaks will be preserved. (This section is circled.)

Thank you all for playing and making Wordle an unforgettable experience.
