Disconnected nacelles and programmable matter were complete turn offs for me.

So is the brain rewiring at some point? Or does it get damaged? Or is it prewired and then turns on at some point? Depression is a disease, but people usually aren’t born depressed.

It’s a great show. They tried to remake it a few years ago, but it paled in comparison to the original.

Be seeing you!

That photo looks like the poster for the mini series “Dancing On The Edge”:

Japan is currently holding clinical trials. I think that’s the closest we’ve come to actually seeing this happen.

I would love to see more co-ed team sports at the jr high and high school level. Could be interesting if the teams were required to have a certain percentage of male and female on the court/field, with transgender counting as either. People take school sports way too seriously.

I’d say she’s been trying, but I don’t know that anything has been achieved yet. Still an improvement over what we had before.

Yikes that is one frightening photo of trump. Like a melting wax figure.

I think it would be cool to stumble upon something of archeological value while on a hike. Like some ancient statuette, or something like a cuneiform tablet.

Get ready for more of this as companies start leaning more heavily on trash AI.

What about his parents? Will they be booked too?

 

So although Paramount is being purchased by Skydance media, it’s being bankrolled by Ellison of Oracle software fame. Why he wants to run an entertainment studio, I have no idea.

“It’s not like ‘ER.’ It’s not kind of ‘ER.’ It’s not sort of ‘ER.’ It is ‘ER’ with the exact same executive producer, writer, star, production companies, studio and network as the planned ‘ER’ reboot.”

Not that I should be surprised, but trying to watch it today and it’s just talk talk talk talk. Commercials. More talk. Overhead shots of the stadium. People walking around in the rain. Talking head. Cut away to footage of Carl Lewis bitching about something. Instant replay of something they already showed. People hugging. Stadium shot. Human interest story. Commercial. Shot of Eiffel Tower. Promo for actual sports being shown on Peacock. Etc etc.

Meanwhile you can see there’s sporting events going on because they are showing them on the Jumbotron in the stadium shots. Really no excuse for this since most of this coverage is pre-recorded anyway.

 

Evidently screwing customers twice by making them watch ads for the same price they used to get ad-free has been profitable. Let the enshitification continue!

In other news, their ad sales VP left this week for some reason.

 

Sounds pathetic. I wonder how many product managers have been in charge of Apple News since it started?
