It’s lights out for Santa.
All I want for Christmas is this special holiday episode of Murderville, out today on Netflix. This is a very silly show but also one of my favorite new series this year. The real joy in each episode of this murder mystery improv is waiting for the celebrity guest stars to break.

As usual, Warren is on the case.
Following a recent report that we co-published with The Markup, Senator Elizabeth Warren and her colleagues are looking into the sharing of sensitive financial data with Meta from tax filing companies. It’s an important step toward accountability — but maybe this wouldn’t have been such a problem in the first place if the IRS would just fix the way Americans do taxes.

Find a QuickBooks plan that’s right for your billion-dollar business.

One of my favorite little games is now a lot cozier.
Mini Motorways is a charming game about building traffic grids until they inevitably break and everyone in town is unhappy with you. (Boo, cars.) I always found it both relaxing and stressful — until a recent update removed the stress by letting you keep playing after “Game Over.” I am really loving this trend in game design that lets people play things at their own pace.

New York’s saddest club is T-Mobile.
T-Mobile’s latest stunt is this “ATM” that gives people free money and looks like it’s the VIP section of the world’s lamest club. It’s almost 10 years since T-Mobile became the “Uncarrier”, which came with some genuinely good ideas about disrupting the mobile industry.
But its classic silly stunts are only getting sadder as the company slowly becomes the thing it once hated.

Losing is “fun.”
I’ve been fascinated by player stories from Dwarf Fortress for years, but never got the courage to try it — until this week, when it came out with modern graphics. So far the only story I have encountered is: “all of your dwarves die horribly in the first week.” Somehow it’s already the best $30 I’ve spent in a while.
