Elon Musk is a lying, racist, sexist fascist, and everything he touched is tainted with his vileness. He loves Trump, he hates his own daughter, he constantly lies about AI, and his ‘self driving’ vehicles are not at all, and kill people regularly. The notion that anyone gives him any attention at all makes me despair

Noise ordinances aren’t concerned with what automotive regulators think is acceptable. Noise ordinances are about only one thing: preventing noise - the issue is independent of any manufacturer, type of car, or whether or not some regulatory body has signed off on a particular make and model. The only relevant issue

The writing is simply awful - nonsensical, illogical, random and cartoonish. Nothing about this iteration of Doctor Who is in any way science fiction - it is pure fantasy, and poor fantasy at that. Gatwa is charming, but the constant, hyperkinetic and utterly unearned exuberance he shows, especially with regard to his

Flat earthers are just barely rational and intelligent enough to grasp that religion is a lie. This deeply bothers them, so they need to prove that reason, and above all science itself, is false. If science is false - a gigantic conspiracy, likely led by Satan, and the earth is actually flat (as the bible suggests in

Easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission. That is, so I hear, the rule.

Doctor Who - I mean this, you can watch very old episodes to prove it - used to be mostly science fiction, with a little psionics thrown in. Not magic, not gods, not ridiculous and empty crap for stupid people. There were stories about telepresense, The oppressions of fascism, interspecies diplomacy (DW and the

This was pretentious typography masquerading as a story - it said nothing new, created nothing, invented nothing, and showed us no vista. Yes, there was a vague implication of some - presumably alien, because ‘sci-fi’ - species with a different mindset, but this alone is not enough - such was done better with ‘Tweel’

Let me get this straight - it’s a truck - a utility vehicle associated with off-road, hauling stuff, and doing work - only you can’t get it wet, at least in direct sunlight, and you can’t go through a carwash without putting into a special mode? What happens during a rainstorm, or worse, rain in sunlight (which

I’m not willing to die in a Project 2025 Internment Camp just to ‘try out again’ a man who openly states he intends to be a dictator.

Unless the PS6 is literally the Oasis Console from Ready Player One, with a headset and haptic gloves as the intended and primary interface to play all games, I am not interested. I am out of desire to drop a pile of money on a vaguely fancier console to play on a flatscreen with.

Chapelle should not have been allowed onto that stage. I am disappointed that the entire cast did not stare at him, and then just walk off in support and unison. Bigotry cannot be allowed to be normalized, and social shaming is the best, primary, and most useful way to combat it.

I want to play Alan Wake 2, but I won’t buy it unless I can buy a physical disk.

Amazon has clearly forgotten, or devalued, how important customer relations are. Alexa makes them gobs of money by making Amazon look positive and decent in the eyes of its customers. Alexa helps disabled people through voice commands, comforts and entertains, and puts a friendly face on Amazon overall.

Tuvix’ is one of my favorite Trek episodes of all time, along with ‘The Measure Of A Man’, ‘Darmok’, ‘The Offspring’ and ‘The Inner Light’. It raises ethical questions, sparks debate, and does so impactfully and emotionally. Trek at it’s best, I say. It’s easy to show a captain making morally clear decisions; but

Anything you do not have a physical copy of can, and sometimes will, be taken away from you at any time. If you buy any subscription, or buy any nonphysical product, you are encouraging and demanding your own lack of ownership.

There are currently 96 bags of astronaut poop on the moon. The moon is a toilet. There is no point in fussing about some sterile ashes of human corpses. 

Peltz and Aintabi are both Conservatives, so their ‘activism’ is to support Trumpian politics. Disney made unholy wealth, massive profits, but not quite as high as predicted, and under end-stage capitalism that is unforgivable. I can only imagine the fund managers are crying that ‘supporting woke agendas’ - like not

And Trump has stated he will be a dictator ‘On day one!’.

This Florida Joker guy must be a saint - I mean, he is Voluntarily Celibate forever. Since that tattoo, at least.

If you are not completely satisfied, you have been had.
