30 years ago this month, NiN's "Closer" was released.

30 years before that, The Beatles' "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was released.

So now I really need someone to make a mashup of these two, with John singing "I want to fuck you like an animal" and the rest of the Beatles crooning "ooooo" in the background

It's so much stupider & more petty than I imagined: "Two sources told Electrek that [#Supercharger head Rebecca] Tinucci was fighting back pressure from #Musk to fire a bigger percentage of her team, and the CEO decided to let go of the entire team as an example."

▶️ President Joe Biden says the pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. college campuses test two fundamental American principles, the right to free speech and the rule of law. He stressed that both must be upheld.

I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy https://github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

Literally everything Tesla is doing right now suggests they're fucked. Killing off the new-products team, the govt relations team, Supercharger development, betting the farm on robotaxis, showy trips to sidle up to authoritarian regimes.

Not "hardcore." Fucked.

Worst downsizing I ever went through (short of "company is bankrupt, go home") was 10%, and that fucked our operational efficiency for a quarter. Spotify laid off 17% and are suffering. The C-suite were fools to assume there was 17% slack in the system, much less that middle management would choose the right 17% to fire (or that competent workers wouldn't see this coming and jump ship to better jobs, leaving time-servers behind).

Shingles review: 0/10.
What I did not even imagine is how insanely painful it is (nerve pain). It's not as bad as the appendix inflammation before its removal, but it's getting close.
I have been on immunosuppressants for the last ~8 months for an autoimmune disease, and, ironically, was telling my wife, "I am surprised that I did not even get a cold, despite a crazy lifestyle," just a week ago.
Don't jinx. 😅

Oh goodie, some asshat is apparently using Suno.AI or similar to produce crass joke "songs" and has uploaded them to YouTubeMusic and they are showing up in my recommendations and the downfall of our entire musical culture is imminent

At this point if you’re using a Google product that isn’t Search, YouTube or Workspace then you only have yourself to blame when it’s inevitably canceled.

It kind of sucks that "adult toy" is a euphemism for "sex toy." Like sure, those are all well and good, but what about poseable figures that break if you look at them the wrong way, or gunpla, or ESP32-C6 dev boards, or completely impractical computers that beg to be called cyberdecks, or 3D printers, or infrared cameras, or overly fancy drones, or record players and vinyl albums, or anything that still has a floppy drive in 2024?

new hobby: adding action lines to my cat pictures

A somewhat blurry picture of a tabby cat looking over a coffee table with snacks. The cat seems to be wanting some snacks too. Only the upper part of his face is visible. Anime-style action lines are drawn all around the picture
Two cats standing on a wall hammock, looking straight at the camera. They look very serious and threatening, especially with the action lines drawn all around the picture.

Trumpism is taking over American Christianity, which in turn is driving many Americans away from Christianity. Affiliation with the religion has dropped precipitously in the past decade. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-04-07/trump-s-brand-of-christian-conservatism-is-driving-people-from-church
