Is that... an official Apple product?

Either way, what an absolute find ❤️

The thing I really hate is that I genuinely believe they are hoping for a terrorist attack to help build support for brutalizing elderly taco truck workers

Don’t worry, when you get to the mud room you will discover it’s actually two bathtubs

It is very hard to conceive how much cleaner cities are now than they were in the late 1800s

Not saying cars are excellent pollution-wise, but 150,000 horses in a place the size of Manhattan or London have a colossal environmental footprint

They don't go into health impacts there but I can't imaging that breathing clouds of manure dust was great for the ol' lungs

The Big Crapple: NYC Transit Pollution from Horse Manure to Horseless Carriages - 99% Invisible
In industrializing 19th-century cities like London and New York, horses played a key (and evolving) role in both transportation and pollution. By the 1860s, horsecars (horse-drawn streetcars on rails)...

I mean there's a reason why "charismatic, brash, and has no beliefs other than 'gimmie'" is so effective. Good con artists are... really effective at conning people.

I guess the loophole is that we can, ultimately, decide to ignore the Constitution if we want. Could enough voters write Trump in to grant him an EV majority for a 3rd term? I mean, it’s possible. What happens then? I don’t know!

I might quibble with "Apple" on this one -- Tim Cook wrote Trump that $1M check out of his very own pocket:

I like how Iger can't imagine Ben Solo being alive but had no problem with "Palpatine All Along"
