I was at Universal all day today, so couldn't watch the F1 race until tonight

I saw a Ferrari fan walking around this morning (well before the race start time) and jokingly told my wife "I want to just say sorry to this guy 🤣"

After watching this race, I wish I had 😅

LIQUID DEATH WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE

A man collapsed in the Oval Office. The internet got the story wrong. A case study in how bad information can spread — and how hard it is to correct it.

A man collapsed in the Oval Office yesterday. The internet got the story wrong.

My experience struggling to correct the record — including on Bluesky! — and the warning signs as AI, aggregation, and social media increasingly drive our news consumption.

I've only been to NYC once, and could probably have guessed this map

If you're upset about the New York election results, I'll trade you, a house in Florida for a house in NYC

At the VERY LEAST use RCS, not SMS, so it can be encrypted and come from a verified business number with your logo and security certificate.

Sometimes I just want to grab people by the shoulder and shake them... This is insanity...

If you are adding 2FA to your online app in the year 2025, WHY would you pick only sms and email? Presumably you're doing this for security, and those are the 2 least secure options!

At the very least, app based and passcodes should be an option, and I would argue very strongly that should be it.

JFC, John Oliver literally just did an episode on police chases, and how the cops are to blame for them ending badly. The cops didn't even have their lights on???

Qualified immunity is such bullshit.

Yeah, it sucks. It makes me not want to do it anymore, but that could lead to a spiral of fewer kids, so more people not handing out candy, etc.

My neighborhood has a bunch of kids, but I'm disappointed in all the parents for taking them elsewhere for trick or treating. I don't know many of my neighbors, about 1/4 of the houses have new families in them, but last year and this year, the turnout is getting worse.

Hey Floridians, it's not cold enough to need it, but now is the time to test your heat, make sure it works, burn off the dust, open your doors and windows so you don't set off your smoke alarms when you actually need it.

Welp, Orlando is on the list of airports with no air traffic controllers tonight, so that's fun...

The Attorney General and President can end the shutdown whenever they want. These things only started because of an attorney general opinion, and they can end because of one.

I know it's not hard evidence, but every man on the street video I watch shows people know nothing about any of this

No, do it the other way around. AT&T seems to have forgotten they don't own HBO anymore, because I still get free HBO Max.

Or stop merging companies.

Carter's Attorney General, Benjamin Civiletti, wrote an opinion on the Antideficiency Act that said government agencies could not continue operating during a funding gap.

Before that, shutdowns didn't happen, the government just kept working. Any president can go back to this.

Here's a fun fact. Government shutdowns actually only happen because of the opinion of 1 man in the 80's, and Pam Bondi could end this right now, if the administration wanted.

Instead, they should cancel the Miami GP and run it through the parks. Idk how, but the main path around the World Showcase has to be wide enough, right?

Side note, I'm only talking about Xbox stuff here, not the laundry list of shitty business and political decisions Microsoft has made recently.

Microsoft's ambitious new Xbox: Your entire Xbox console library, the full power of Windows PC gaming, and no multiplayer paywall The new Xbox platform is said to be a "premium" experience, and now we have some details on what it'll look like.

Most people hated the last time Xbox tried to PC-ify the Xbox into a PC media center thing, but I actually kind of loved it. So we'll see!

I reached out to The White House and asked about its use of AI-generated Halo imagery. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai just responded to me, and it's insane.

I hate politicians, but I love my rep 🤣

There are some great open source scripts that kill all of this shit. Hackers from 3rd world countries are experts at not paying Microsoft and Adobe a cent. Coincidentally that involves removing or disabling all the collection stuff MS keeps adding to Windows.

This is why I've stopped posting about politics entirely. There is a vocal group of people who just want to be toxic to everyone about everything, even when you're on the same side.

Hey remember when they screamed for weeks that Obama had desecrated the White House by sometimes not wearing a jacket

This one gets me all the god damn time. People got way too used to investors subsidizing both the food & the delivery. Investors were footing the bill for the order and an entire companies worth of 6 figure salaries. Those investors don't exist anymore. DoorDash has to make payroll on its own now.

I don't get it, Microsoft. Just use one of your previous brands.

I had Cortana on my Xbox One with a microphone for voice commands before I had any google home stuff. And you killed it.

Or just actually use Clippy, he was cute, mildly annoying, got things wrong sometimes, just like modern AI.

That's another one I hear in my head often

In the intro for Myth Busters, there is a clip of Adam Savage saying "well there's your problem" in a very animated voice. Every time I read an article like this, I just hear him saying "there's your problem" and I wish I had that clip to repost this with.

Totally separate though, if Comcast buys WB entirely, it would be super weird for Universal to have a Marvel land at IOA, but own DC, and have Disney own Marvel.

On the other hand they would maybe own an entire mountain in Hollywood?

I have been saying for years that, because of the theme parks, Comcast/Universal should buy the Potter rights off of WB. Do whatever it takes to get Rowling to shut the eff up. And if she won't shut up, sever her ties with the brand. The movie and theme park business is bigger than the books now.
