As a journalist who has covered internet culture for a long time, I’ve seen enough hand-drawn images of Sonic the Hedgehog showing feet and pregnant Barack Obama

Either you’re the wrong person for the job, or please say what you really saw.

which comes with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes

Go kiss a concrete pillar, ya duds

Bubba Ho-Tep. Nursing home Elvis fights the Mummy? Silly as hell. But they nailed it.

V….P….Nnnnnnnghhh

I’ve just been used to it due to laptop form factors, but I did eventually break down and get a separate number pad for intensive stuff (spreadsheets, taxes, etc) when needed. Not the most elegant solution but it means that I get to keep the small keyboard 95% of the time.

Yeah, it’s like 1 good item + 2 bullshit items and a drink for $9 in the deluxe box.

This myth needs to die hard. Inheriting off daddy’s blood emerald mine allows you to start businesses and buy people to make them work. This takes zero intelligence — it takes capital which was not earned. It continues to make money through the labor of shady accountants who know how to keep you from paying taxes, the labor of H1-B visa holder slaves, non-unionized assembly line workers, etc. who you crush and exploit for more capital to keep repeating the same unethical and dumb shit.

A number of kids also don’t know “file system.” The filing cabinet is a foreign concept, as are many of the now-antiquated technologies referenced/adapted for desktop computing (the address card for your Rolodex, the floppy disk save icon). Tablets and phones are culturally moving us towards stuff being contained within its respective singular app, like all your word documents being within the word app rather than meticulously sorted through layers of folders (even though on the backend, it is). So returning to your first step: why have a browser as the first step when you could just skip having to search for anything because there’s an app? Plus, the delicious unskippable metrics.

Didn’t he just pull a similar move with X/twitter to xAI? Sounds like his companies are an endless money pit and he’s desperately playing 3-card monte with them.

What kind of degenerate do you think I am? That’s 36 hours to back up my walrus porn collection.

Double the service? No. Maybe consider it “budget airline plus.” The measurements of the seat and getting a little screen/refreshments will be the real difference.

Prices mysteriously go up about a week before prime day sales, then drop to a few dollars below normal, scream “39% off” and you feel like you beat the system.

Ah, the ol in haec verba Tarantino rule

The Federal Toothless Commission at this point?

The MussoliniPad, doesn’t get WiFi at gas stations

Top features:

PATRIOTIC bloatware with Mahjong

Lee Greenwood and Kid Rock ringtones

“Starlink GPS” on the box but it’s hastily scratched out in tear-stained whiteboard marker

Noise canceling headphones. Yes, they exist for under $100, maybe not the best, but they’re a godsend.

It was a fun little experiment to use for about 15 minutes. Won’t miss it.

Corporate Memphis, and I’ll get ahead of the curve, whatever its successor is. Probably some kind of AI-chic.
