āļøWhich means that Bloombergās story proclaiming Gershkovich was free was inaccurate, given that the Russian plane was still in the air at the time of publication. That plane could have just turned around and gone back to Moscow, which is why the Journal and other publications had agreed to hold off.
Another example of Bloombergās stellar journalistic standardsā¦

āļøIām into this. Feels like The Boondocks meets Burn After Reading?

āļøA simple, but intruiging little short.

āļøAs AI advances, Zuck becomes more human. Coincidence? I think not.
Thatās the only quote from this article that matters. Pure gold.

āļøāThereās definitely progress on basic data security, and I donāt see stuff like this very often anymore,ā Fowler says. āBut I used the open and public internet and no specialized tools to find this. And at the end of the day, this is critical infrastructure that was exposed.ā
At least we get to end this piece on a slightly positive noteā¦

āļøIn the absence of trans athletes competing at the Olympics, they can just invent one in order to whip up a trans panic.
Besides the obvious bigotry and hatefulness that seeps through these peoples pores, itās just such a sad state of affairs that people will admit they no nothing and then go on a rant like they have a right to just make up bullshitāand we just continue to let it go.

āļøI havenāt paid attention to video games much at all let alone still get Game Informer, but Game Informer and Nintendo Power were such a pivotal piece of my childhood.

āļøPart of me wonders how much Kap has actually put into this of his own money vs how much he plans to pay himself. I wouldnāt be surprised if, at the end of the day, I end up putting more money into paying people via foofaraw than he does for this.

āļøYeah, this is not a good look for Kaepernickā¦ if this was actually about helping tell ādiverse and authenticā voices in storytelling, he could fund online courses that teach people to draw and tell stories. Instead, he seems to be taking the get-rich-quick path with AI.

āļøThe whole fake āregister to voteā feels like it should definitely be illegal.

āļøI do think this was a pretty great first ad. Itās both optimistic, powerful, and hits a lot of the major points that are on peopleās minds.

āļøHe arrived in Russia with aspirations of becoming a foreign correspondent. Heās leaving as an example of dignity, bravery, and heroism.
Obviously itās great to be able to bring people home. I canāt help but wonder how Putin views it all given the American political landscape. Was he truly pissed that Trump said he could bring them home for nothing in return?
1 August 2024
āļøYup, this was an instant buy for me.

āļøWell, yeah. Being obsessed with strangersā personal lives, especially to the point where youāre trying to use the power of the state to force everyone else to live according to your values rather than their own, comes across as pretty weird. Even Trump understands that.
Itās interesting that āweirdā is what sticks rather than ādangerous,ā which has been the go-to descriptor for awhile. Is TikTok more prevalent now than the last election? Or are people just tired of hearing this is the āmost important electionā and that the opponent is ādangerous.ā āWeirdā is maybe, just easier to grab on to.

āļøI get the detractors who think as soon as reform gets passed here, itāll become tit for tat every presidential cycle moving to change the court for their benefit. But term limits are a good thing. My original thought was a new justice gets selected every presidential election and the oldest drops off. This isnāt too far from that idea. And obviously the presidential immunity shit is bullshit and needs to be rectified.

āļøRepublicans always out here trying to ruin a good thing.

āļøI mean, they arenāt wrongā¦ While I enjoy Van Wilder, Wrexham, and the first Deadpool, Iām surprised he continues to be able to launch big budget movies given how plain and boring his whole schtick has become. Patrick Willems goes a lot deeper into his and the Rockās careers becoming brands in and of themselves. And now apparently Deadpool is supposed to be a big part of the next wave of Avengers filmsā¦

āļøNot really a surprise given they endorsed Biden, but I think it shows how a lot of blue collar workers often vote against their own interests.

āļøIāve been beating the drum on this one for awhile now. Spotify again falls into that Rot Economics where they consistently try to move the needle around pennies no matter what the user experience. Obviously there arenāt a lot of great options out there, but Apple Music via the Albums app continues to work wonders for me.

āļøYeah, sheās a stone-cold killer. Love having a main character to remember the Olympics by, and outside of the US Olympians for me, sheās it.

āļøāWe got spread too thin so we cut peopleā is some logic awfully reminiscent of Microsoftās recent explanations for closing several Bethesda studios back in May.
This stuff always sucks, but is never a surprise. This goes back to the idea of Rot Economics and the fact we now have ābusiness peopleā who only care about ābusinessā and not the actual industries they are in. Numbers go up, numbers go down, it doesnāt matter how that happens to them.

āļøSoon, youāll be thanking AI that you can finally wait on hold with your health insurance company to ask why you got a huge bill even though youāve hit your deductible.
And the gold medal goes toā¦
31 July 2024
āļøYeah, I donāt love thisā¦ Even if itās all still going to go to charity, why put the burden on three people to manage and agree upon where it goes when there are foundations and groups of people established for this type of thing already.

āļøSen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.):
If (Republicans) are pro-family, this is an opportunity for them to vote pro-family. If they donāt, itās clear theyāre being hypocritical.
This is goodāeven if itās all for show, itās good to remind people what the Democratic Party stands for. I honestly think we donāt make a big enough deal out of these things. Force the issue, stick to one topic, at a time, and make the media cover it with every interview.
