Do the people who pushed to shut down nuclear plants realize how deadly the alternatives are? "air pollution from burning fossil fuels like coal and diesel was responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths worldwide" hsph.harvard.edu/c-change/ne…

The trailer for Oppenheimer just dropped. The trailer contains 100% of the discernible dialog featured in the theatrical release of the film. Actors deliver other lines, of course, but the backing audio intentionally drowns those out.

The most internet content that I've seen all year. I don't play any of these games but this is great.

I'm going to have to add Elon to my filter words aren't I.

Notably, I was not in the reflexive Elon-hater camp. My perception was that he was a forceful engineering leader who has done untold good for humanity; but with some ugly personality traits that tarnished but didn't negate his accomplishments. (Not unlike SJ.)

Customer uses $platform for customer data & event management. I've never heard of them. $platform has no public API. Have to talk to partner salesy person to get API docs. The idea that building a better world is going to require incredible focus and competence is simply false.
Went to Dropbox's website to rotate my password and got 3 different adverts for other products of theirs in < 5 mins. I have a paid account. Respect the hustle but maybe your NUX framework can throttle those out a bit, yeah?
Most of the new electric generation capacity being added in the world is solar or wind.

This is annoying because now I find myself admitting that, in being generally opposed to GDPR, I failed to take into account how bad alternative legislation could be.

When measuring [every metric that matters], the US is far behind Europe. But on the woowoo shit I’m paid handsomely to produce reams of paperwork on, I think we’re doing all right.

Thiel wanted to destroy a media company entirely legally. Musk seems determined to one-up this by destroying a media company in ways that the legal system (and Twitter's lawyers) can't make heads or tails of.
Watched Moon Knight & the latest Dr. Strange. I'm someone whose opinions on film you should have absolutely no trust in. Below zero believability weighted thoughts incoming! (what else is this site for?)

I also had no idea what anyone's powers were. MK's are tied to the suit, that's a nice touch but can gain new powers as required by the plot. Harrow killed people when his cane determines that they have karma cooties and if that doesn't do em, he conjures invisible demon dogs.

So yeah, I thought MK was a mess and it's the MCU so I'm on board until the Game Of Thrones tier footguns arrive. Which they haven't. Yet.
