Sean Young made a video about the cast and crew for Dune in 1984. Her commentary throughout but especially about David Lynch is interesting.

My frustration with Siri’s stupidity has gotten to a point that I’m ready to direct my questions to a Speak & Spell. I’ll attach it to a Roomba so I don’t have to carry it around.

You should read "Behind F1's Velvet Curtain" -- currently available on the Internet Archive -- before Road & Track issues the inevitable take-down notice. https://web.archive.org/web/20240301170542/https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a46975496/behind-f1-velvet-curtain/

A powerful and deeply sardonic feature story about a culture that would have to improve to be merely rancid.

Behind F1's velvet curtain, and Road & Track's delete button. A friend sent me a link to an article about Formula 1. “Not sure how this reads to fans of F1, but I thought this was just an exquisite essay,” they wrote and shared a link to an article published by Road & Track magazine.

Which one of you has a bootleg copy of Dune 2? I’ve pre-ordered it on Apple but I can’t wait four months.

Be sure to reply privately.

Time to drive around and see what's changed on the way to Top Pot for the bi-annual maple bar.

No big surprise, Matt does it again. Tumblr and WordPress user data have been sold to train AI, and Automattic intends to do it again moving forward. Content posted on both platforms between 2014 and 2023 was shared without user's permission. Even worse, the data exchanged included private and deleted posts, private answers, and “ https://www.brilliantcrank.com/no-big-surprise-matt-does-it-again/

I don’t think I can go back to cassettes, but Sony Minidisc is just right.

I'm working on something and would like your feedback. How does this make you feel?

This AI shit will kill company cultures reliant on virtual interaction. Trying to determine sentiment through a text message is already difficult for humans. I’m not convinced in any way that AI can do better.

If you want to know what your team is thinking then provide a safe space, ask, and listen.

What a crock of bullshit.
