Same! I had the exact same reaction. Initially I had liked this shape a lot, I found it in Minions Pro, but then slowly started loving the Italic _et_ of LM and now there is no turn back! :)
Not sure I like the italic *et*-symbol. But other than that a very nice and clean looking font!
I am actually very excited to see it being released!! Hope they release it as a free (libre) software.

Happy Towel Day! 
Yes, they did :) https://www.oreilly.com/animals.csp?x-search=duck&x-sort=oldest
Stumbled across a link to https://www.oreilly.com/content/a-short-history-of-the-oreilly-animals/ on [mastodon](https://fosstodon.org/@estherschindler@hachyderm.io/110384567662188953). Nice to read.
You can still mention it in a reply :) I'm sure the author will like to hear that :)
and I opened two issues (I feel bad... Should've let the guy/guydette know that I like the idea before complaining about expandable vs. unexpandable stuff.)
Oh hehe, I knew the name, but I was relating it with 1024 hence failed to understand.
The name of the painting is "Starry night", seemed fitting to celebrate lots of stars for @Skillmon
Sorry, but why Van Gogh? Is it just because you like it or there is some connection to 1024? I am trying very hard to understand the relevance.
Congratulations! 
of course, the only numbering system that makes sense. But now I can no longer count my stars on my 1010 fingers.

...maybe all the talking in TeX chatrooms about acceptable pizza toppings confused chatgpt :)
When ChatGPT doesn't know the answer, it makes it up, like children at school :D
The treasurer of the German TeX user group (which is named "Dante e.V.") asked ChatGPT about the purpose of Dante e.V. Here is what she got as a reply: > "I'm sorry, as an AI language model, I do not have access to current information. However, based on my previous knowledge, Dante e.V. is a non-profit organization based in Germany that promotes the Italian language and culture. The organization offers language courses, cultural events, and exchanges between Germany and Italy. It was founded in 1997 and has since then been actively involved in promoting Italian culture and language in Germany." It seems that chatting with you is clearly the main purpose of using LaTeX. All this stuff about producing documents must just be a side effect :)
I fully understand this feeling (despite of Skillmon's black painting).
TikZducks keep up with today's events: 
might as well just be that OP was active on another SE/SX subforum and got the notification (sorry for black painting)
