Fuck yeah, I want ALL OF THIS back in 2026.
Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Some podcasts translate well to a video format and it enhances the experience, but let's be honest: most don't.

In IT, if you’re having a problem, a common way to solve it is by “talking to the duck.”
You explain the problem in detail to a rubber duck, and while explaining, you figure out what’s wrong.
The duck doesn’t say anything. It doesn’t have to.
You can figure things out without AI. Really. Try.

Now that aside, CAN you use a chatbot to knock you out of a creative rut?
Yes
But you're going to be handed the most generic fucking idea, and if you follow that line of thinking, you're going to stonewall yourself out of ever making anything remotely good
Ask literally anyone else, ANYONE. ELSE.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.
