I'd rather stick my foot in a bear trap and then have to chew it off than miss a Citation Needed issue. 🙂

i may have picked a bad time to hit "publish" on that newsletter 😬

@molly0xfff Nope. Great time, and a good read, as always.

FTX's Ryan Salame has returned to Twitter for the first time since FTX collapsed — hours after he was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for his role in the FTX fraud and for his illegal campaign contributions 💀

@mattblaze Track 13, which might be unlucky for some, unless you are Carlito Brigante, in which case stay away from track 19. Brian De Palma really uses Grand Central Terminal well in that movie climax.

@mattblaze

Closer to my home... the problems in the car chase in Bullit can be amusing. But for movies as good as these I'm willing to suspend disbelief.

Overheard today someone referring to the cybertruck as an Elon P76 and it just tickled my slightly obscure Australian motoring history gland.

@NanoRaptor I wonder if a 44 Gallon drum fits in the Cybertruck bed. 🤷‍♂️ My grandfather brought a P76, had pre-ordered it before they were available. I remember him being all excited when it arrived. I do remember how badly built it was. Leyland really did suck.

One of my oldest pics doing the rounds again.

One throwaway pixeljob 25 years ago, and now a substantial part of the population of Australia remembers the edit as the truth of it.

Bit proud of that.

@NanoRaptor It has Iced in the frigging product name... 🤷‍♂️ 🙂

Damn, I miss many Arnott's biscuits. Tim Tam (original), Royals, Mint Slice, Tina Wafer, even Milk Coffee, and yes Iced VoVos...

@NanoRaptor Damn I forgot about Venetians. Currently shopping for them on Amazon USA...

Either Google Cloud has done something next-level horrifying, or this superannuation company is being highly misleading about their own mistake.

Bets?

Apple recommended keeping the Macintosh Horizontal Product’s key switch locked in the On position for user safety.

@NanoRaptor I'm wondering how well the new one character row OLED display in the upcoming Apple pencil is going to work.

Many yearn for the "good old days" of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.

I spent a long time experimenting with AI before finally writing about it in depth. It can be pretty useful — but is it worth it?

"Keyword-spam vomit" in this edition got me.

And it turns out image generators don't seem great at realistic looking vomit or printed labels on objects.

Had to help Google ImageFX out with some carrot and pea prompt engineering.
