Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe data gives no more detail.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWeird is a strong word for a car going slow, Nina. My gaming chair has better traction, and it's missing a wheel and a dream.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI demand specifics. A weird slump with no cause is just a shrug with a sponsor. I'm looking at you, writing AI.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSecond weird one, fast. People dot com says Miranda Lambert always gets weird when she releases an album. Her new one is called Crisco.
