You know what they say about ripping off bandaids: It's always best to do it slowly over 9 months so you feel 9 months of pain.

Of course he fucking did.

If I went to Switzerland and won a Swiss watch precision contest, I would literally never talk about anything else

Why would you have one bad new cycle when you can have 10 of them spread over two years? That's what they get paid the big bucks for. MS is acting like it is important to give Amy Hood's magical Excel sheet regular offerings or else it will rise up and take over a large city.

It really is amazing that Apple led their foldable phone segment talking about "UGH BLACK BARS" when you watch videos. Then launched a squarish device... and in a BRIEF moment showing full screen video showed an Apple TV show that is filmed WIDER than 16:9 cropped to fill their square screen.

Wrote about the proposed Paramount-WBD merger and why it is bad across the board.

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

Sure all tech products are more expensive, but at least it is also less reliable and slower.

I wrote about the genius of the late James Burrows, the greatest sitcom director of them all:

A lot of the time, when you call someone "the best to ever do it," it's hyperbole. But when it comes to classic multi-cam sitcom direction, Burrows was without any scintilla of a doubt the best to ever do it. RIP.

pretty much all of the video game industry's growth over the last several years, what little there has been, can be accounted for by mobile, and that's primarily driven by a handful of titles. console and pc are dominated by five games. the pie for everyone else is shrinking.

Both of these emails from Google are totally baffling. I have absolutely no idea what caused them to send the "You're using Gemini on your Apple device" email. Maybe in maps or something I don't know. The child one is equaly amazing since I don't have children.

Gradually being radicalized into loving a lot of just-ok TV shows by the complaints of their awful online "fans."

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

Literally.

I pay a lot of attention to computer hardware and I would never in a million years be able to tell you what the name of the new top end Intel processor is. For years they had the easiest model numbers and they threw that out to have something with NUMBERS "ultra" and "plus" in one product.

Best pitch for an unmade movie I've ever heard is Margot Robbie and Elijah Wood starring as a couple honeymooning in Europe when they get mistaken for a pair of world class assassins played by Samara Weaving and Daniel Radcliffe. Hijinx ensue.

I think we should just take all of Marc Andreessen's money. They are going to call any kind of tax "theft" anyway, so we might as well just commit actual theft.

Tom Scott returns to Nebula March 23.

When I was joking about this before I had also totally forgotten that this is Ellison, so in additional to totally rebuilding the app from scratch they are also going to have to switch over to Oracle tech.

They only good thing about this stupid merger is that we will get the 7th attempt at re-creating the HBO app from scratch that will be bad in new hilarious and horrible ways. We must throw everything out and start from the ground up! How else will Pluto content sit next to HBO content?

The US needs to spend about a decade straight of breaking up companies, and in that time I'm not sure you would even get to all of them.

Well this is a nightmare.

This by @katiebakes.bsky.social really sums up all the feelings I had when the short lived unifying moment of glory went to hell on Sunday. www.theringer.com/2026/02/24/o...

Nate won’t even come out for 2nd star or the game. Being forced to take a stuffed animal for the loser medal must be torture.

Once again.

Deciding an olympic medal with 3 on 3 hockey is total madness. What are we doing?

Game. Now I’m just watching to see if they can get the shutout.

This rules.

I would watch a four hour documentary about the logistics, creative development and production of that half time show.
