I remember my vivid dreams, I read books, I complain about tech
I feel like I'm seeing much more #Grinch stuff this year than in previous years 🤔 #Woolworth's in #Munich, stores here in #Milan, and now at #McDonald's. Hmmm...maybe M-words?

Kudos to @theatlantic.com for this anniversary edition. I'm learning _so_ _much_ and am curious to research some things further. It's such a shame how little Americans know in general about the beginnings of their country's history. #AmericanHistory #USHistory #AmericanRevolution

While I don't think this moment was particularly horrible (on a different person it could've been cute/folksy), but I love this comparison the #JimmyKimmelLive folks did 😆

I greatly resent the feeling I get from the tech community sometimes that they need to drag us "forward" and convince us to adopt their innovations. You know what, maybe we don't need them. Or at least not as fast. Why not think harder about what they'll disrupt before you condescend to persuade us

I'd heard of "suffrajitsu" before (thanks, #QI!) but most of the others were new to me, sadly.

Yes!! Thought about this parallel as well. Not good when the people under you act like a Bond henchman #TomorrowNeverDies #PeteHegseth
There's a scene near the beginning of Tomorrow Never Dies in which the villain orders his henchman to shoot all surviving sailors from the ship they just sank.
Sounds familiar.

Got one of these things in the summer. So far, the house is much more toasty, and with the right tariff the bill is down 40%. More reports as we have them.
Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented.
That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.
Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

Full agreement with Wil here. How far we have fallen. #TrumpShouldResign
I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation.
I mean, I do. But still.
How can the president. THE PRESIDENT. Of the United States of America. The. President.

Why is it so hard for people to just not be dicks? 😞
Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.
Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.
Remember this as Disney turns to AI.
