Is there anything more ridiculous than COP30 not mentioning fossil fuels explicitly?

Is there any way to avoid seeing reposts of things that have already been shown in one's feed?

I watched Ford v Ferrari last night. The scene where Shelby takes The Deuce for a white-knuckle spin in a GT-40 is one for the ages. Ford II's heartfelt "I had no idea!" could be a warning to all who meddle in systems they don't realize they don't understand.

Interesting that MSNBC via fetchtv in Australia shows "This channel is currently unavailable" at the start of the Rachel Maddow Show despite being available for the previous four hours.

"Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams is the most important book I've read in a long time.

Dear phone UI designers - I would like to switch from landscape to portrait and back independently of my phone's physical orientation. Is there a way to do that?

To get an idea where science in the US could be headed, take a look at "You failed your Math test, Mr Einstein". It was mentioned in the recent book "Love and Math" by Edward Frenkel.

I recently took advantage of the $5 deal for a Wired magazine digital subscription. What I didn't understand is that digital subscription does not include access via the Get Wired app. Apparently this is because the app allows you to see what the hard copy looks like. Weird.

@msnbc.com so you have replaced Reid with the inarticulate ex-Republican Steele. Why would you do that? Why would I watch?

I noticed today that X grabs the Bluetooth on my phone. This is new. It used to grab Bluetooth only for Temu ads. I know about this because I watch TV with hearing aids connected directly to the TV via Bluetooth, and X grabs that connection whether it has audio to play or not.
