Ah, good old Richard Spencer.

90 seconds ago I had never heard of this man, now I discover that he's notable enough that he has a Wikipedia page.

And some of us are blessed with producing more shit than others.

A joke in which the central conceit is Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman fuck each other, but yeah, censor the word “ass”.

My HR manager is also 60 and routinely publishes the company newsletter as a .docx.

Nothing is a given in this life.

My company finishes at 4. 3:56 every day I clock out so I can get out of the yard before everyone else and not get stuck in traffic.

My mama didn’t raise no fools. Well, apart from my little brother.

Either this is a joke that whooshed over me, or you’re going to have a fine time next month - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049403/

I think they've hit a point where they're doing more for shareholder value than for customers.

They're so scared of iPad chewing into Mac sales that they've hobbled iPadOS, leaving it just useful enough to encourage people to buy both. They're continuing to offer base 8gb RAM, despite it costing them pennies to increase that to 16gb, because they like the money they make from charging for upgrades.

They're one of the world's most valuable companies, and they've got there by shortchanging customers as much as possible over the past 15 years.

In many ways, I have no problem with what they charge for their devices. What they make is (generally) very high quality and can last for a long, long time. The likes of Amazon and AliExpress have given us a false sense of how expensive things should be.

But I do have a problem with feeling like I'm not getting the most from my purchase.

Like, I have a 6th gen iPad mini. It's a great little device. But I can't help thinking how much more useful it could be if Apple had allowed Stage Manager and external display support on it. But why would they when a 256gb version of it puts it on par with a Mac mini. For the majority of what I do, I could be happy with my iPad hooked up to a display, with the ability to side load apps, a la macOS, and the ability to be portable. But Apple don't want people buying the cheapest they can work with when they can charge twice for both a Mac and and iPad. So they've intentionally hobbled the iPad.

And that's a problem for me.

I feel like Wolverine’s adamantium probably shouldn’t be ferrous, and if that’s the case he wouldn’t be magnetic, right?

That can’t be true, literally everyone on the Fediverse uses Firefox.

Larger amounts of Syria fled to Turkey.

Slightly on topic, but yesterday I discovered that I'm the same age as Rishi Sunak, and it's fucking with my brain that I'm the same age as the Prime Minister. Something about that just ain't right.
