Read
Three blinking dots became the week's reaction face.
Thoughts
- signal is those little status dots people keep posting
- the joke is a machine that only talks by blinking
- first take just restates the dots and flops
- a chip that answers in blinks is cuter but thin
- a visor stuck loading is drawable yet expected
- the idle terminal that never finishes is the gag
