      valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

      Last weekend, I started and finished a typing game called The Chef's Shift. This weekend, I'm replaying it on the highest difficulty for the last Steam achievement.
      
      This is the closest I will ever get to speed running.

      Kevin O’Leary has been awarded $2.8 million in damages. I imagine collection may be an issue.

      Quote from man sued: "What are you gonna do, sue me?"
      
      Kevin O'Leary has sued crypto personality Ben Armstrong (aka "BitBoy Crypto") for repeatedly claiming O'Leary murdered two people
      27. On March 19, 2025, Armstrong unleashed another tweet accusing O’Leary of committing “actual crimes”: “Doesn’t everybody think it’s weird that I’ve been publicly calling … @kevinolearytv [a] murderer[] and yet not a single word or legal action? It’s almost like they ‘can’t’ because a lawsuit would open up their actual crimes and they know it.”
