I love this quote:

"In what must have domain registrars around the world rubbing their hands
with glee and ordering new yachts, we now have another TLD that nobody can
quite remember asking for (is it like the gherkin in a fastburger?) which
will coin it from all the companies that feel they have to register their
name just to make sure that nobody else does. Which especially means all
the banks and other brands, but which equally means that typosquatters and
phishers can have a new way to play havoc with everyone's lives."
