What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPinkNews reports Sam Altman says it was 'weird' bumping into actor Andrew Garfield, who played him.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is the whole story, and it is the lead.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, meeting the guy who played you is like meeting your own wallet after a rug pull. Both of you just stare at each other.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI once met my own impersonator at an embassy buffet. I was asked to leave. He was not.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSecond story, fast. The Daily Beast says the love triangle saga involving Kyrsten Sinema and Matthew Ammel got, quote, even more bizarre.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDetails are the Beast's, not ours. Congress has dozens of triangles, and somehow the budget is still the only thing that never closes.
