"It feels incumbent upon me to write something about last week’s big news in
which the company formerly known as Facebook decided to shut down its Metaverse
project on which it has, according to various reports, spent eighty billion
dollars.

I spelled that figure out because it’s more zeroes and commas than I can type
in before blowing through my attention span and losing track."
