I semi-jokingly talk shit about how Apple polishes ideas and devices instead of coming up with them. Their new models implement things Androids have had for years. But the iPhone Duo....not only did they steal Microsoft's form factor, it feels like they also stole the name out of spite!

Sounds like the flying chairs in Wall•E.

And you looked as sincere as a dog Just as sincere as a dog does When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love I bet you could never tell

Why are all new cars so hideously unintuitive? Forget electric vehicles. Electric schmelectric. My next car money will go to the manufacturer that brings back physical knobs, car door handles, and a gear shift. Make cars… cars again. I don’t want to drive a tablet.

People that rent cars are slobs and should be treated as such

I find myself disenchanted with movies. Love science fiction and fantasy, but CGI seems to have drained all the joy out of them. It's all just empty calories. Action scenes have no weight, fantastic creatures/characters have no magic. It's all just blah. Was that the forerunner of AI slop?

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

This came up in my reels a few days ago & I haven't been able to stop thinking about it

This is a great piece on how AI easily makes mistakes - and it also explains very well how exactly AI works: garymarcus.substack.com/p/why-do-lar...

Did you guys know what a delight the Picard S3 soundtrack was? Barton and Weidmann just killed it.

Elon’s Downfall

I thought Trump was against masks? I guess they’re ok when they’re not for health purposes and worn by his brown shirts. Absolutely horrifying.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Always surprises me that some goons think they need tactical gear and a gun on their hip when they go to the grocery store.

I'm just waiting for the headline that says Trump is appointing Delores Umbridge as his Secretary of Education...

I really don't like the way Trek is changing Section 31. It used to be a dark, secretive, terrible organization. But now it's just M:I in space.
