There comes a point where a traumatic childhood can't be used as a justification anymore.

PBS is running syndication of the Great Elvish Bakeoff.

The part that bugs me is that THIS is the standard for calling out shitlordery. This is barely even shitlordic. People are making fun of this because it was objectively terrible, and slapped down in a wildly inappropriate venue in front of millions of people. It and Feldman's response are a trainwreck of a lack of…

Dogstar also didn't go on a cheery morning show and try to pass itself off as some deep Miltonian rumination on goid and evil.

First off, while the abuse Feldman suffered at the hands of others as a child star is awful, it does not excuse what amounts to human trafficking. Corey's Angels is not some charity/superhero team, it's skeevy as hell. His original pitch for his company was basically "I've helped young hot women break into the…

Update: I charged, waited, and both the temp of my phone and the CPU load have dropped a lot. CPU by about 2/3rds. Battery is responding more normally. YMMV of course, but I wouldn’t throw out the baby with the bathwater just yet.

The heat/battery problem may be temporary - I guess there’s a pretty substantial change to Spotlight Search that’s causing it to literally rebuild every search catalog on your phone. I have an app that monitors CPU usage and it has been off the charts for a few hours post-update, so clearly the OS is doing SOMETHING…

I love that CBS tries to hype a bunch of new shows, nearly all of which failed to survive a single season.

So we're just done with "phrasing", right? That's not a thing anymore?

While I appreciate the honesty of DDD, and what it does for small, unpretentious family diners, I think he basically undermined his own credibility with the gasping monstrosities that are his NY and LV restaurants. Those temples to mass-produced, caloric excess are essentially the antithesis of everything he…

It's funny, I was talking to someone from Eau Claire who is the same age as him. I asked her opinion of Justin Vernon.

They *could* but every manufacturer would have to get together and agree to pay Apple to do it.

Hey, don't plagarize or take on loan.

And Mussolini Headkick, too.

They could…but only IF the phone manufacturers paid apple to license and implement the necessary tech, since now Apple's the patent holder.

Correct. There is no incentive for Apple to implement it. It's only useful if every manufacturer does it, and nobody would if Apple owns it.

Seems a lot like Apple is patenting this so nobody else can do it without paying them lots of money.

…only if everyone in Egypt used iPhones.

Well I'm glad that after you missed the joke the first time you circled back so you could run it over with your car.

Quite a long way from "88 Lines About 44 Women."
