WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Google, you were right. I DID want you to forcibly add YouTube music playback to the Android alarm clock.

Thanks for that. And thanks for updating my alarms to play YouTube music.

And thanks for deciding you should prioritize play count. You chose ambient tracks designed to help dogs stay asleep.

I was trying to remember who played Frederick Douglass in "Lincoln". I had a vague memory he's in it briefly.

Turns out he's not portrayed at all, and it's weird! People thought it was weird at the time it was released also!

Also originally the screenplay was entirely about their friendship?

🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.

On a small empty road, a bit confused about a weird intersection. Google's bot turns on without prompting (I have it globally disabled and not opted-in).

Me: "fuck you"

Google: "I can tell you're frustrated, and though I am a virtual assistant, words have meaning and your words are very hurtful."

Max becomes HBO Max this summer.

Is HBO Max different from Max?

Do I have to do anything as a Max subscriber?

Will there be any price or plan changes for current subscribers?

Will my Max account, profiles, or settings change?

Maybe if we put the Gemini button next to every single UI control in the entire OS,

then we can demonstrate to investors increasing usage, and to tech press the inevitability of our total disintermediation of interactivity.

Sesame Street is engaging in union busting and trying to confuse the issue by complaining about the popularity of Bluey.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

"why aren't the Dems doing anything?" vs "hey, are the Dems doing anything?" is demonstrating the incredible power of owning nearly 100% of mass media.

The people actually cannot even know if the Dems are doing anything because they can no longer see them.
