“Being obsessed with repressing women is goofy. Trying to watch what LGBTQ+ people do all the time is abnormal. Punishing people who don’t have biological offspring is creepy. It’s an incel platform, dude. It’s SUPER weird. And people need to know.”

"Now that the media no longer has Joe Biden’s age to consume our every waking moment, the endless stream of bizarre things Trump and Vance both say and do is suddenly getting the scrutiny it deserves.
The 'Trump and Vance are weird' strategy is brilliant because it is multi-purposed."

Organisations when they hire consultancy services: “We need a company credit check and report to ensure your finances are stable and that this will be a sustainable relationship.”
Organisations when deciding on using OpenAI: “We understand you spend $700,000 per day and need $5 billion a year to survive as a company, which is way more than any company has ever raised in history. Please take our money. We will integrate your tool into all our tools now. The lottery is our favorite way of investing in our own future.”

Mastodon FeedI've tried #VisionPro demo in an Apple Store (they have lots of available slots in the UK, BTW)
- It's heavy. When it doesn't crush my sweaty cheekbones, it makes my neck hurt.
- Resolution is the best I've seen, but at best a 1440p monitor equivalent. Text is ok, but a downgrade from a real 4K monitor.
- Spatial vid from iPhone is low res and barely any 3D.
- Apple's professional 3D content looks low res, and has wobbliness of 3DoF, like all VR
- FOV is average

Noting that it enrages Trump when he's called weird, Oliver Markus Molloy says,
"If you want to break the spell that a fascist cult leader like Trump or Putin has over his brainwashed minions, destroy the hyper-masculine 'magic aura' of the fascist strongman.
Destroy his ability to give them a dopamine rush.
How? Show that you’re not afraid of him. Disrespect him. Make fun of him."

‘Donald Trump has made clear in his campaign that he supports a significant shift in U.S. energy policy, characterized by a robust emphasis on fossil fuels, extensive regulatory rollbacks, and a scaling back of renewable energy policies. He justifies these changes as necessary to reduce energy costs, achieve “energy dominance,” and boost the competitiveness of U.S. industries…’
