I was doing a product management basics course online.

The company that was offering it has now completely changed its training course website to be about “AI training”, and its foolish AI chatbot won’t let me raise a ticket to reach a human.

I was halfway through! Sigh… just why? 😩

Hot damn. Episode 9 of The Morning Show - Season 4 is fantastic!

This Marion Cotillard at her most sinister as Céline.

And Alex and Mia attempting to free Bradley from Belarus with a risky, hush-hush deal at an opera house was exciting.

I think it’s no coincidence that the most successful Xbox console launched with a numbered Ridge Racer. Just saying.

Star Trek 4 has been in development limbo for the better part of a decade.

So it’s not unsurprising that Paramount’s rotten new leadership has canned it.

But it’s still a pity. I was hopeful for some more Trek on the big screen.

"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f*cking name now."

I went on a rant at the Zohran Mamdani event last night, against billionaires who spent millions to try and stop a guy whose name they refuse to correctly pronounce.

This speech by @barackobama.bsky.social in Virginia is outstanding.

His energy and character is electric.

And his speech reminds me that we must kick the apathy and keep connecting with each other.
