Installer No. 102 from The Verge drops a spicy mix of random gems like Premier League footballers now demanding personal chefs (because who really wants to chew after dodging tackles?), TikTok's algorithm still dragging minds down a never-ending scroll hole, and deep sea divers somehow surfacing alongside each other in stories. Cory Doctorow's book 'Enshittification' gets a shoutout, probably because grit is the new glitter. Throw in the emotional rollercoaster vibes of the final WTF podcast with Barack Obama and someone's desperate plea to convince their kid to watch 'The Twits'—talk about a family night in! Also, NATO phonetics finally decoded, and yes, dried mangos were eaten, maybe to survive the madness.
