Words With Friends 2 is a showcase of dark patterns:
- Animated pop-up ads where the close button is not in a consistent place, to trick you into clicking on something.
- All-or-nothing notifications, so you can't turn on "it's your turn" and leave off "are you interested in buying candy-colored letter themes? how about now? HOW ABOUT NOW, MOTHER&*#$ER?".
- Games you haven't accepted are lumped in with games you're currently playing, both marked "it's your turn".

Albuquerque, NM, has become the largest U.S. city to permanently make public transportation free for everyone. The city found that fares didn’t cover the administrative fees, so they actually save money by making public transportation free.

Someone should point out to the Surpremes that they have lifetime appointments and there's nothing more Donnie can do for them. He's a liability to them at this point. #14thAmendment
L. L. Bean stands for Large Language Bean. @lowqualityfacts
I feel bad for all the phone tech support people who only ever encounter customers who are murderously frustrated after hours of being tortured by an automated menu tree.
It's been a long time since I've seen Blade Runner, but I suspect if I watched it again I would find that it grossly underestimated the number and intensity of ads we'd be watching.
