If you feel sad... I'm not going to make you feel any better: as of today there are legal adults walking between us that have never witnessed Ferrari winning a title in the F1.

Apparently in all 4 Mexican GPs that Yuki has taken part so far he's gone full Top Gun Maverick, going airborne due to contact involving, another weird coincidence, his right rear tyre. All in - 3/4 DNFs. Keep it grounded this weekend, Yuki.

If this weekend McLaren are no longer the ones to beat and RB are back on the top, that team will have to be inducted into the hall of lobbying fame. #F1

What if the Matrix's plot was real and the machines have created the film just to troll us?

This space is like a lucid dream when compared to X, where apparently one can get nuked for a witty comment (if that comment is made against someone connected to, or the overlord of the app himself).

America is currently providing live streaming of "The Thick Of It", but this time it's streaming non stop and there isn't a way to switch it off or predict when it will end, nobody's laughing and the consequences of screen characters' actions are very real.

Europeans, having witnessed the rise of fascism, endured its horrors and ultimately having seen its downfall are sounding the alarm for the United States. Yet, blinded by arrogance many Americans are dismissing the warnings and refusing to acknowledge the danger until it’s too late.

So Zuckerberg looked at the state of this app and decided he needs a lot more of it for all the services he's overseeing πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

The fear of Trump coupled with untethered greed really is the worst combination that repeatedly finds its way to power. We brace ourselves.

Your political views are an expression of your values, which is who you are fundamentally as a person.

Just watched and absolutely loved Joker Folie Γ  Deux. Typically steer clear of musicals, but the way singing numbers built the doorway into, and expressed Arthur's tumultuous and delusion filled mental state was just epic. Don't get all the negative reviews out there.

Just how long before Trump starts losing sleep over Elon's influence on his party and their decisions eclipsing his own, and sh** hits the fan? Before or after Jan 20th?

That does not protect creatives in any way. I know there's no other way to train it, and humans learn and develop their art in pretty much the same ways, but don't let artists be the ones to bear the expense of it and then be pushed down the drain.

Can you really say you lived if you haven't built a custom PC and installed Windows 11 on it?

Sorry, I'll rephrase: do you still have the will to live if you built a custom PC and tried installing Windows 11 on it?

Watching the third Venom film and it starts with a bloke in shackles imprisoned on some planet telling his lackeys to find a code to free him, for which he'll reward them with their lives. I mean, they're already living free and the guy can do nothing while in cuffs. So... Not a good start.

It's crazy to think that a PC I built 10y ago and which is still going strong (runs all I want and need) will have to be replaced by a new build only because it's got no TPM2 and has a no longer supported CPU. Microsoft execs should be taken on the e-waste trip to see effects of their doings.

Yes, all appears very much toned down and more peaceful over here

I really should be posting here more and use X less. All I see there every time I log in is endless conspiracy theory threads and lots of rage baiting posts, which is less than ideal. But starting over with very little engagement feels like a bit of a hurdle. Anyway, will try to jump over that.

Have you tried Googling 'Cat', clicking on the paw icon in the results and then clicking anywhere and everywhere on the screen in absolute delight? Do it!

At least Colapinto is fast. Sargeant was just crashing.

Welcome to modern USA where drivers after just a few practice sessions are already complaining about the smell of weed being so strong, they joke they'd get suspended if tested for drug use before the race. #LasVegasGP #F1

This is one of those F1 weekends where as a European I can semi-legitimately complain about the race timing. 6am on Sunday - oh the horror!

The use of a mix of capital and lower case letters is really aNnoYiNg me in this. And what anNoyS me even more is that in their presentation ad video they actually have the lowercase 'g' in all words with it.

Your (probably) usual experience of Ali Express: buy something that only has 3D models for presentational imagery (which often looks worth tenfold the price quoted) just to receive something that appears to be worth tenth of the price paid.
