Wow! A News Roundup with something for just about everybody! Where to begin?
1. Identity (because we all have to act local). As I'm wont to say, the devil is in the details. The moment someone says, "I identify as...", the game is over. "As" is a pesky reminder that, no matter what I say I am, there's something just out of reach, a brass ring never quite hauled in. Though Emily Jasinsky was going for the identity gold, I think the military guy was smarter - he remained unidentified.
2. Giveaways. I hadn't heard about the PS5 angle to the NY story. Something makes me think that gamer never once watched the episode of WKRP when Herb did a turkey drop giveaway on a remote assignment. Money quote: I SWEAR ON MY GRAVE THAT I DIDN'T KNOW TURKEYS DIDN'T FLY!!!"
3. Vegas Girl. Proving that #metoo can thrive in any environment. Prediction: Sometime in the near future there will be a "Jackass" movie where the protagonist has a chip embedded in his forehead, and goes around stores bashing his forehead on scanners. You heard it here first.

I had forgotten about the turkey drop. That was fairly priceless!
