My hot take for the day:
Nothing should have a clock on it unless it and update that time automatically from the internet.

Remember when films started to get more nuanced about villains. They gave them understandable motivations because a moustache twirling evil villain just didn’t seem realistic? Turns out reality had other ideas.

"How happy are you, with your smile?!?"

Finally finished watching Star Trek: Section 31. It felt like a crappy Sci-Fi script, that was taken off the shelf and grafted into the Star Trek universe.

Trump's nonsense was horrific, but seemed like it would only affect the US. And then you realise he has control of that largest military on Earth, and wants to take Greenland by force! I am truly scared for what the next 4 years will bring.

I think Elon Musk buying Twitter will be seen as a real Sliding Doors moment. Imagine if he'd been able to back out of it, like he was trying to do. Things now might be very different.

Nilay finding out in real time that David Pierce reads the podcasts ads, and telling him he has to stop, is awesome, and peak Vergecast.

You never feel more productive than at the beginning of implementing a new productivity system...again.

It surprises me that politicians never use visual aids in their speeches, I think it would help. If I was ever to go into politics, I'd be displaying an explanatory data visualisation with every speech.

It's a sad day. My bone conduction headphones have died. I wear these from the moment I wake up until the moment I go to bed. I consider myself a partial cyborg, because they essentially give me Bluetooth hearing. I'll have to contend with AirPods until I can get replacements.

Here is a gadget I want to exist:
A Bluetooth router. A small, battery powered device that can connect to every Bluetooth audio source I own (3 is enough), then I can connect my Bluetooth headphones to it.
It will mix the audio sources together and reconnect when back in range.

I'll be 110. That's annoying.

post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn’t nirvana or pearl jam or soundgarden or alice in chains

Saw Ghost Busters: Frozen Empire last night. It was bloody brilliant.
