    Another big day for giant printouts of the internet in Congress.

    During today’s circus show featuring former Twitter execs and Hunter Biden’s laptop, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) held up this sign. I wouldn’t personally brag about being banned from Twitter for being a horrible troll, but then, I wasn’t elected by Georgia’s 14th district.

    Do you like Wordle? Prepare to hate Wordle.

    Flappy Birdle is a sadistic experiment in word games. You will not survive. You will fail. Over and over again. It’s terrible. Good luck.

    Google just 360 noscoped Microsoft.

    Microsoft just announced a surprise event for tomorrow, and we expect AI to be a big part of it. But not before Google went up with its own announcement about a ChatGPT competitor.

    The AI war is red hot. Here we go.

    What lies in the heart of a balloon? Who can say.

    The Pentagon says the high-altitude balloon currently flying over the US is spying on us. China says it’s just a weather balloon.

    What say you, wayward balloon?

    Before email you had to develop computers by taking Polaroids and delivering them on a motorcycle to your colleagues.

    At least, that’s how Apple designer Bill Atkinson did things when he made the Lisa.

    Atkinson shared his binder of Lisa development Polaroids with the Computer History Museum, and we had the pleasure of selecting some of our favorites to publish on The Verge:

    I am posting this to The Verge Dot Com from my phone on the NYC subway...

    because literally nobody works like this. Get real, folks.

    Here’s a free billion-dollar idea for Microsoft:

    Change Bing’s name to “Ask GPT.” (Sorry, Ask Jeeves.)

    The US government wants to ban gas stoves? Good luck fighting Hank Hill.

    Breaking news: Deadline reports that King of The Hill will return, and there’s no way in hell the lord of propane is going to allow lawmakers to seize gas stoves from the people.

    Welcome to America. We sell propane and propane accessories.

    This computer was pretty “OK.”

    We’re excited to say that the first piece from our partnership with the Computer History Museum is live today: a look back at the Apple Lisa and its long-lasting impact on our relationship with computers. Stay tuned later this week and beyond for a look inside a rare collection of Polaroids from the Lisa’s development, and an upcoming Verge video documentary on the Lisa’s final act. (Hint: it involves a landfill and lots of security guards.)

    It’s not too late to participate in CHM’s virtual event celebrating the Lisa, happening today at 7PM PT / 10 PM ET. You can register to attend below:
