I hated biznasty before but that fucking commercial has really put a stamp on it

Their audio mixing is entirely amateur hour.

really "...everybody in the courtroom groans at my shit" vibes from this fuckin' twerp.

also: why can't banks and shit figure out that i've already paid this month's bill a bit early, and therefore there is no need to send me the fucking "your bill is due soon" email/text/semaphore/telegraph? this is programmatically simple to accomplish, even at their scale. fucking ANNOYING.

why the fuck is "search for a specific date, and have all pictures that were taken on that specific date, regardless of year, be the results" something Google Photos cannot do?

just... GIMME EVERY FUCKING PIC WHERE SAY *-11-05 SHOWS UP IN THE METADATA. YOU FUCKS. YOUVE RUINED FUCKING EVERYTHING.

This is canon:

Drink my piss, you 100% wrong dumbass.

DUI hire with unwashed hands slurs over a grotesque image of a golden map of the USA with JJ Abrams lens flares

man... late-era Ottoman caliphs would be embarrassed at this type of image representing their country being out in the public. viziers would lose their heads. fallen nation, cursed people.

god shut up

lol. I may not have a trillion dollar valuation but my virtual farm’s uptime clowns Azure and AWS’s. fuckin losers.

I have not seen Magnolia. Everything I’ve heard about says I shouldn’t.

His entire filmography is like a perfect 50/50 love/hate for me but I did find OBAA wonderful.

hate to be That Guy but that is the actress’s actual name so PTA just ran with it

love to have now-weekly massive cloud outages on these companies worth trillions who seem to think everything is fine so they're also getting rid of tens of thousands of employees? if all your actual "workers" are AI agents that run in the cloud and your cloud keeps keeling over, what now bitch?

I have watched the end of exactly 2 Dodgers games this year. Both ended on Freddie Freeman dongers. What are the odds.

my first reaction to seeing that commercial was to fear the magera/von ticket that’s gonna win in 16 years cuz of this

just got the e-book of The Power Broker, which effectively removes my last excuse for not having read it. but i just finished a 74-chapter, 912 page motherfucker (Crucible of War by Fred Anderson, very good) and I don't think I can do another of that size right now. but it will weigh on me til i do.

Angry at how good your 18 year old is. Kid's gonna be a star.

long journey to land this plane but I applaud the effort

the translation layer for non-ARM apps works fine, all my stupid ancient java-based telco app shit works correctly, the screen is lovely and it's the first windows trackpad i've ever used that works as well as any Mac laptop's from the last 10 years. it's a nice piece of kit.

credit where due: i been using a Windows laptop running the Snapdragon X chip and it's been... about as good an experience as you can have in the Win11 age? Boots way the fuck faster than my mondo Intel desktop rig. Battery life is fully in "don't sweat it" range.

did even one of those tiktok "i'm ready for the rapture!" assholes fess up to being completely full of shit after not rapturing or nah? guessing it's nah.

Hi! I'm the guy at Microsoft who decided no attachment should ever just open in the obvious default app anymore! You'll get an unmaximizable preview in a window from a different app with a bunch of gimped cruft around the content instead! Please beat my ass senseless!

Nth-ing Crucible of War. Literally finishing it right now and it's comprehensive on the North American theater with enough on the Euro/Indian fronts and English court/parliamentary politics to place decisions in NA in their wider context.

holy shit what an asshole

I mean, there are like six different banger lines in here I would’ve highlighted in bright yellow like a 1990 dude college freshman reading his first Bukowski book.

what the fuck man

is... is that good? or should i obey the intrusive thoughts telling me to convert my 401k into shelf-stable protein?

JB, I’m a supporter and voter of yours. I understand the limitations of messing with the feds. But why can’t you order the State Police to stop assisting with protestor arrests at Broadview?
