NFT usages which are rated (by some sort of google/business search) more popular than anything misusing the word “fungible”:

  • Nutrient Film Technique
  • Not For Trade
  • Network File Transfer
  • No Further Text
  • National Foundation for Transplants
  • Noorda Family Trust
  • No Free Tickets
  • NewFoundland Time [UTC - 0330]
  • National Front Terror

(wait, Newfoundland is something plus a half hour offset from UTC??)

I’m good with Pete covering Eminem songs…he doesn’t do it half bad.

And the Santa rap was one of the best things SNL has done in a few years.

Common error: confusing acronyms with initialisms. If the attempt to shorten the words or phrase is by taking up the first letters of the individual words, the resulting word is called an acronym if it is pronounceable, while it is an initialism if the resulting word cannot be pronounced.

I thought the cold open was one of the weakest they’ve had in years, but the rest of the episode was great, including that bit. Weekend Update had some seriously good writing too.

So… because there’s not actually anything physical being exchanged, are NFTs being used like the real art world to launder massively ridiculous amounts of money, but in a bit of an easier fashion?

I wonder what the effect will be on physical art prices.

Can an NFT be “priceless”? I thought that the whole point of them was to assign a value to them?
