Elon Musk has the right idea, honestly. Just put the chips directly into our brains instead of trying to sneak monitoring devices into every home appliance like we’re in an outlandish parody of a Cold War spy film.
I’m not opposed to an electric toothbrush, but that should be the end of it. We did it! We made sci-fi toothbrushes! Let’s pat ourselves on the back for achieving the pinnacle of teeth-cleaning technology, not piss in God’s face by demanding that it also have a WiFi connection and an app and a subscription service.
You cannot convince me that there is any reason to put a computer in a toothbrush. The fact that we have electric toothbrushes at all is borderline absurd.
Give us Mario Kart 9, cowards.
I just don’t even know how you would argue that they aren’t making art. What purer form of artistic endeavor could you name than a child being creative for its own sake? Things like technical skill, novelty, complexity, etc. are qualities that art has, but they have nothing to do with the definition itself. If a child creates something with artistic intent, that’s art. Arguing otherwise is navel-gazing prescriptivism, the same basic argument as Roman statue fetishism and just as tedious.
The only categorical difference between a child’s painting and a professional illustration is that the latter has value as a commodity. If that’s how art is being defined here then we can dismiss this opinion as deeply unserious.
That’s the point. The US has effectively unlimited money, or let’s say unlimited liquidity, so their ability to repay is purely based on political issues. That they can’t get their shit together enough politically to avoid their own borrowing costs going up is extremely funny and embarrassing.
The US credit rating has fluctuated since 2011. At one point I think it was as low as A-. Regardless, the idea that it would ever be anything other than AAA is hilarious.
Despite its AA+ credit rating
People do not make fun of the US for having their credit rating downgraded nearly enough. Imagine being the wealthiest country in history with control over the most ubiquitous reserve currency on the planet and the credit rating agencies are like “it’s not that we don’t trust you, but we have standards to maintain.”
Twitter Migration Report
I appreciate how many people are ignoring the X rebrand entirely and referring to it as Twitter. I doubt that’ll ever go away fully.
“Online” needs to be broken down into “dating app” and “met playing World of Warcraft”

I’m no expert, but this looks pretty cut and dried.
This is genuinely very disheartening. A lot of people have died and more will continue to die, but NATO can’t even talk openly about how the conflict might be ended. They really do want Ukraine to be the next Afghanistan in the forever war.
This is surprising to read. Ukraine was never going to have enough ammo, weapons, or manpower to win the war, but I never thought the western media would run out of cope.
