Yeah it was specifically for their rental program iirc, not looking into that side of things either way

My computer seems to be totally borked thanks to a careless BIOS move, so I'm likely in the market for a new PC. I like the aesthetic of NZXT but I'm sure there are better pre-builts out there so... who's got recommendations?

My Lyft driver is watching Sinners on picture-in-picture mode over Waze on his phone.

Dead and Company 8/2/25, Golden Gate Park: weird set era continues, Midnight Hour opener leads a high energy first set. Sit in from Sturgill on a guitar heavy Morning Dew. Grahame Lesh sits in on second set St. Stephen. Brokedown Palace ends the set with no encore following.

Sturgill Simpson opening for night two of Dead & Company’s 60th anniversary shows. Some very extended jams, a slightly clunky “if you’re not angry you’re not paying attention” followed by a Bulls on Parade drop and a big Whiter Shade of Pale cover.

In pursuit of small levels of fame and internet notoriety, many have taken to flattening their criticism to blanket statements. Barbs should be specific. The problems are not abstract, they are concrete and caused by people with names. Who is making things worse, and why? What is the end game?

That was rad

Taking a Waymo to the Sun Ra Arkestra concert.

Third time in maybe a month I’ve ordered some variation of a house martini and gotten “it’s a very “spirit forward” cocktail, is that ok?” in response. It’s a martini, my good sir, I’d be concerned if it wasn’t “spirit forward.”

There are Zabar’s everywhere for those with eyes to see

The video is goofy, the guy ducking out looks wild, but these are not public figures and it feels extremely gross to make a 24 hour news cycle about these people getting caught very publicly in an affair. Don't cheat on your significant other but I do not care to see your brand post memes about it!

“Do you guys have any orange wine?” is the new “what IPA do you have on draft?”

congrats to linda yaccarino on being named the new team principle for red bull racing

Well... bsky.app/profile/wash...

Not excusing it but likely the editorial rationalization: Grok is a product of xAI, it happens to operate on Twitter. She was the CEO of Twitter, not xAI.

Just, as a group, lets agree that "A.I.dolf" is much better than "MechaHitler" when referring to Grok's latest antisemitic update.

Christian Horner fired at Red Bull, Yacc out at Twitter. What a massive news day for me personally.

Nuance? In reaction to the use of AI on creative works? I dunno...

It is a little funny seeing his big conspicuous bodyguard showing up in the background of this video though

The United States government is operating a concentration camp in Florida.

Calling the commodification and monetization strategies of every tech company/product "enshitification" as a catch-all is becoming less useful over time. The companies and their leadership are actively making things worse to use in different ways, it is worth being specific about how and why.

Just got served an ad that felt suspiciously familiar, went back and looked to realize that the tagline (and likely the strategy) were almost word for word lifted from a spec pitch I gave said company that I got paid $500 for as part of the multi-round interview process there back in February.
