I approach the right hand turn out of the switchback in Neo Bowser City.
I know I can absolutely smash the next segment, including the shortcut to the left of the finish line.
The city stretches out beneath me. I can hear the Lakitu already buzzing and inbound.
I fucking biffed the turn again.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

In 2005 I was flown to Australia to host wraparound segments for tv special called The World Comedy Tour. I shot these bits in Sydney then went to Melbourne the next day.

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.
It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.
it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.
