Walmart sells something that claims to be a 'banana cleaner'. The description is a weird work of genius, including boasting '120 minutes on a single charge, which meets daily use' and explaining 'just wipe it with a towel'.

i know one view is that "they don't intend to lose power" but i honestly think this gives them way too much credit.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo

“People live for ages side by side, nodding at one another amicably on their way to work every day, and then some trivial thing would happen and someone would be having a garden fork removed from their ear.”
Discworld QOTD, from The Last Continent

“The wizards were civilized men of considerable education and culture. When faced with being inadvertently marooned on a desert island they understood immediately that the first thing to do was place the blame.”

GenAI is inevitable and will definitely be a major part of every art form from now on. Just like NFTs!

It's all just too on-the-nose now
Today, Trump declared that the nation will host the first-ever “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” featuring high school athletes, one boy and one girl, from each state and territory.

If you think this sounds like The Hunger Games, you're not alone.
Trump just announced his own Hunger Games
In case you needed a reminder that we're living in a fascist hellscape.

"And Tiny Tim, who did not die" = heartwarming, Christmassy.

"And Tiny Tim, who would not die" = sinister, alarming.

Theresa Villiers on Badenoch. Oddly I hope she's right but this is the latest in the Telegraph's 'Whisper it' series. The record of this series is not good.... (thread)

I reeeeeeally need Co-Pilot to fuck off now.

Absolutely every email, document, Excel sheet... it's opening up windows, panels, text offering help etc.
How can you write my email? You don't know what I want to say!

No idea why they feel The Strangers deserves basically its own entire cinematic universe.

5 minutes on Twitter is enough to explain why so many people are getting more stupid and impotently angry about everything.
That whole site needs to be shut down.

Good God, the man is the lowest, shittiest piece of scum to have ever slimed into public office.
His day of passing will be a cause of celebration for millions.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Not sure why but I enjoyed Wake Up Dead Man most out of the three Knives Out films so far.
Maybe it's somehow a more UK vibe for those of us raised on Jonathan Creeks, Poirots etc.
