Go look up Cory Doctorow’s “enshitification” posts for his detailed breakdown of the whole process.

The headline feels a bit too accusatory.  Makes it sound like her custody was under some sort of legal challenge.  Really, it’s “Wood sends kid to spend summer with father because her ex is an asshole.”

...I feel like you didn’t actually read my post.

The core idea of the statement, though, is that the appointment shouldn’t have been made because it was close to the election. Which is factually incorrect—there is no part of the Constitution that reduces the President’s authority as an election nears, or even after it is held--and dangerous to endorse.

Plus, uh, Barrett getting confirmed in late October 2020 after millions of people had already voted in a presidential election—an election that would oust the man who nominated her—is just an eternal stain on this woman’s tenure.

There are wearable vibrators that can be set to react to ambient sounds or music. The louder the music, the more intense the vibration.

Speaking of, has anyone else had Harriot’s posts completely disappear from their Twitter timeline? I had assumed he’d left or been actively banned until someone else mentioned him and I clicked through to see he was still active.

Anyone else get the feeling that Rock is so obsessed with her (and attacks their relationship) because she shot him down at some point?

All of JJ’s stuff holds to a simple pattern: It will be fun, it will be pretty, it will not hold up to repeated viewings. And that’s fine. Alias is great if you don’t try to make sense of the overall story. Fringe is probably his strongest creation, from a story perspective, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that…

Why stick with just one? I’m honestly surprised they haven’t offered narration packs as DLC.

There comes a point, especially once actual cash is no longer an issue, where VO work becomes attractive because it’s easier to do, and keeps you in the union and on the insurance. See Nimoy, Ricardo Montalban, Tony Amendola, etc.

That’s absolutely Mercer doing the voice.

Can we get a list of Best NOT Smart TVs?  I’d like a nice large panel that doesn’t report back on me or lock me out until I do a software update.

There was one I saw mentioned recently, where Hanks got an actor fired on the set of Saving Private Ryan.

A software engineer would have said Zulu.

You have to make shitty/primitive tools to learn how to make good/advanced tools.

It’s easy to have zero patients when you change the rules to not have any patients.

Cases are going “down” only because there is less testing and less reporting going on. Virus levels in wastewater, which has been shown to be a good indicator of infections, is rising in many communities.
