Well, it probably did inspire some modern Lamborghini designs, but not as directly as you suggest: the Stratos Zero design was only slightly modified by Bertone for the original Countach concept. I think it’s more likely that any details in modern designs seemingly inspired by the Stratos Zero were probably taking…
This right here. His ratings are fine and his international reach via youtube and social media is through the roof. He also really helped bring in a younger audience who Stewart would have never reached. I’d put money on Comedy Central not being very happy that he’s leaving.
His cast was more limited in numbers, but in a way I liked that more than the revolving door of correspondents in the final few years of Stewart’s tenure. I really like Dulcé Sloan, Roy Wood Jr. and Desi Lydic, and some of “his” former correspondents, like Jordan Klepper or Michelle Wolf, are amongst my favourite ever.
Many American comedians mentioned that struggle during the Trump years; a lot of the time they were making jokes about such sad/infuriating/batshit insane stuff that it just started affecting them psychologically.
I’ve been watching since the early days of Jon Stweart’s tenure and I loved Trevor Noah since day one. I do think he’s only gotten better since, but I couldn’t agree less that he was never particularly good at his job - the show only got better the more creative liberty he got. And he was the first to nail the…
You don’t think doing a TV show that airs almost daily, and spending the rest of the time in between flights to do stand-up somewhere is mentally exhausting? He was already famous and successful before he hit the jackpot (which happened because he’d been working that hard for a long time and is that good in his craft;…
iOS has had a notes app since forever and you can use a shared folder that allows you to access your notes via iCloud in any machine, anywhere where there’s an internet connection. But to me, the best tool for what the article suggests is email, by far. I have been emailing myself stuff and using the subject as “tag”…
He has, 100% agreed. I think he also got wiser with age and that has actually allowed him to look back at some of his actions, which probably makes him regret some of the shadier stuff, and that may have compelled him to do better. In all fairness the turning point seems to have been entirely his ideia: I think his…
Yeah, our positions are very close on this issue. I get your point about being voted out of office, I just don’t agree that’s the only viable way to hold a president accountable. It’s not a matter of one government branch having disproportionate power over the others, it’s just implementing checks and balances properly…
I get your point that he could, but I would hope there’s due process for that (namely, informing security agencies about what’s being declassified and when/how). That’s my point, not that there should be TOP top secrets. I seriously doubt Trump ever declassified anything on Twitter following any kind of protocols, his…
Uhhh... are you suggesting someone put nine thousand of their hard-earned bucks in the hands of a QAnonite? I mean, poor Pulsar, I get that, but no one should be funnelling money their way.
I think at this point the USA may have executed people for far less serious national security breaches than those Trump provided via twitter while in office. The guy really seems like 99% horseshit with a thin layer of teflon all round making up the other 1%.
Well, it appears that Facebook is now acting the same as Twitter, which is fine, I got used to having to click the avatar every time I open a new kinja link. Google, for some reason, no longer loops back to the login window and just returns an error message ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The photo is so good, I noticed the obvious mistake and didn’t even care.
This right here. Twitter affected news reporting in a subtle but very serious way, in that it turned trending subjects into “the” news, which gave lots of unimportant subjects a disproportionate amount of coverage. I think we’re still underestimating how much Trump’s success in the 2016 election was due to the…
Holy shit, that Elliott Gould/Grover magazine cover is amazing.
I never once logged out intentionally. I got logged out a few times over the years and then like a year ago I found myself permanently locked out for a while when Facebook login stopped working for me. When it came back on Chrome only, I went and added Google and Twitter login, and for a while Twitter login worked…
I don’t know if anyone else experiences this, but kinja login has been broken for over a year for me, and the only option that works - sort of - is the Twitter login. Granted, I get logged out as soon as I leave the page I was in, but I can actually click the empty avatar in the page that just loaded and my account…
Funny thing is that was his public persona throughout the 80s and 90s, a sketchy tech genius who stole the code that made him a billionaire, was a close to Epstein, and made some laughable tech predictions like the future in which 640KB would be more than enough for everyone’s personal data storage needs. His team…
This is a very important point no one seems interested in discussing: this recession is 100% being manufactured - on the back of a pandemic and with the extra help from the invasion of Ukraine, sure, but manufactured nonetheless. Energy prices aren’t going up to make up for losses or disruption in operations, they’re…
