I must be dense.

I do not understand the freak out about Tik Tok and user data. Why is it worse for a Chinese company to access American’s location data that American companies sell willingly?

I must be missing something about this the moral panic.

What’s wrong with the internet?

What else did I get out of Twitter?

News. When something happened in the world, I would find out about it first on Twitter. The speed, and its consistency at being first, was incredible.

We need to quit caring about who’s FIRST! and fastest.

My biggest issue with EVs is not the vehicles manufactuers are selling, but the lack of a network of charging stations. If you want to get mass adoption then you better get gas stations to convert to charging stations.

Star Wars rewatch: Rogue One.

Probably my favorite Star Wars movie. Well paced, great story, compeling characters, excellent action.

12 years later, the Inception Soundtrack is still an almost weekly listen for me.

Why is it that eventually, for the most part, people who write about productivity and personal growth end up creating and selling a course or program to increase your productivity or personal growth?

Short Movie Review: Black Adam

Better than I thought it would be.
Uninteresting cast of heros, poorly introduced.
Entertaining superhero movie.

No.

You just ate a pan of cornbread for breakfast.

Uh, Tidal still exists.

Who knew?

I’m in the middle of this week’s ATP and Marco complained about having to list Overcast on multiple App stores and my initial thought was (and still is):

“Why?”

Marco.
You are in charge of your product. No one else.
Sell it where you want to. Not where you do not.

Elon Tries (Badly) To Defend The Banning Of Journalists As Twitter Starts Blocking Links & Mentions Of Mastodon

Just like watching the Trump political era:

You are always wondering:
How it happened
How long it will continue to happen
How it will end
Why it hasn’t ended already.

TIL

There is a Barbie movie.
There is a Barbie trailer.
Harley Quinn for young girls? Maybe?

Excellent clouds today.

Trump Hoarded Most Money He Raised For Himself

It is and always has been a grift. That is what he is; a grifter.

I continue to be flummoxed and confused about how the Republican party let him walk in and take “control”. But, if all you want is power, you will cozy up to anyone.

Excellent art by Tom Jung.

Darth Vader

Every winter, when people start sharing pictures of snow, I think fondly of The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan where there are people believe snow is a myth because it has never snowed where they live.

I deactivated my Twitter account yesterday because of this tweet

If you can’t read Elon’s tweet:

My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci

Don’t see this jackass taking Twitter in a direction I want to follow.

The Orion spacecraft is landing in the Pacific Ocean right now. Pretty cool that we went back to the moon.
