I’m not sure if the penny will ever drop. It’s been clear for the past few years that Trump's base believes that rights-based democratic values do not serve their interests and so must be critically diminished.

The MAGA movement will not be shamed by pointing out the basic features of a liberal pluralist democracy. They don't believe in any of it. They see it as a weakness, something that merely holds them back or slows their efforts to reshape their world.

Using Gmail on desktop just sucks now? Is that what the go is? Can't open a document to print it? Can't login without 8 tries? Google spending too much time on dogshit AI and not enough on what makes the useful again.

Remember when a group of crypto bros bought a copy of 'Jodorowsky's Dune' for $3 million (around 100x more than it was worth) thinking they could turn it into NFTs and an animated series because they didn't understand what copyright is?

it's one thing to admit that your political party has structural problems with producing desirable and viable candidates, it's quite another to suggest that the time to fix these problems is in the four months leading up to an extremely high stakes election

Bullshit. The social contract for content on the web is that it's made available on the terms the creator chooses. Also: Given M$'s incredibly consistent position on the use of their own content, this is incredible hypocrisy.

Our awesome Inland Empire team moved into a new building. It’s very nice, but the bathroom stalls have a cell phone holder with a liability waiver and I confess I can’t decide whether to be horrified or intrigued.

Guy waited five years and paid $102k for a Cybertruck, crashed it after four hours of driving, only for Tesla to tell him that "the accelerator may not disengage under braking" and that it will take $30k and one year to repair.

Truly an L of historical proportions.
