A slightly earlier version of this was my early childhood car for a few years in between some Volvo wagon that I don’t remember and a Toyota Tercel SR5. The only reason I remember it is that I was traumatized from going through automatic car washes for years when the roll-over air drier thing came down and shattered…

I miss Deadspin.

I prefer syrup.

Wait, wut...

it takes about $250,000 to $350,000 to produce the kinds of shoots that I do

I’m with you and it’s not about being a woman or anyone with “small” hands. Apple long ago decided that all people other than NBA players should use two hands to operate a phone and OS that were designed for one. Welp.

These have been used by most of the airports in Eastern Asia for years. I assume they’ll be in most if not all US Airports within months.

I signed up for a free trial to watch this today and I thought it was...pretty awful. It is not really a documentary and, as best as I can tell, Spike Jonze showed up to film one night of their stand-upish live slide show presentation that tracks very closely with their book and just ran the teleprompter and cracked a…

Yay Area! I immediately thought of this one. My friends never seemed to understand why I thought it was so amazing.

those other retail companies don’t have nearly the same kind of access to third-party seller data that Amazon does

Somewhat related: I am no fan of his but it’s so telling that there was not a single mention (as best as I can tell) here about Jack Dorsey donating $1B or 28% of his income right now to fund COVID-19 relief.

Blame? For the situation? Uh, biology. Or some farmers in China. Or an inept Federal government. Or all of us who need to eat and want as much of our lives to continue as normal. But neither the workers nor Amazon. It’s not fair that some people don’t have the luxury of just not going to work if they don’t feel safe…

But we, as a society, have decided that we still want to buy stuff. The fact that Amazon prioritized certain product categories is better than most every other e-com company who is still shipping as normal. Do you want to shut down every grocery store, pharmacy, and Walmart/Target/Costco whose supply chains are no…

Ah, the proverbial testing kits that they’re just hoarding. Amazon would like so much to be testing their employees that they are trying to develop their own fucking testing lab since we still don’t have adequate infrastructure to provide testing to the general populace. As far as I know, there is nowhere that testing…

Talcum X Shaun King

The irony of an aggregator blog network complaining about Google taking ad revenue from “an increasingly unsustainable media industry”is fucking rich even for G/O.

Apple Could Be Doing So Much More With Its Budget iPhone

This is where I add my semi-annual complaint that Apple won’t just put the bezeless design of the X/11 into the form factor the SE to give ~the same 4.7" screen size in <5" body. I like the physical home button but I’d trade it to keep the smaller overall size. I’m begrudgingly buying this since the screen on my SE is…

JFC. Have a good one.
