  I just noticed that the Twentieth Anniversary Mac came out in 1997. Look at this beauty. Probably too late if they haven't already been working on it, but a Fiftieth Anniversary Mac would be a nice touch.

  Love that the new Fed chair HAD to listen to Trump telling him he had to lower interest rates a hundred times before he was nominated, and now, at his first board meeting, he's like nah, probably gonna raise em. 🤣

  Fun fact! The original X dot com was an online bank around 2000, and it was… pretty great, actually. Then PayPal needed a licensed bank, and Elon needed an exit, so they sold it and closed their customers’ accounts. I remember waking up one day to an email saying: hey, jerks, we got ours, now you have 30 days to get your cash out before we disable your debit card, byeeeeeee Asshole. https://www.theverge.com/tech/971649/x-money-launch-elon-musk

  Dear #ADHD friends: First: *secret handshake* Second: if you vote by mail, YOU HAVE TO SEND YOUR BALLOT BACK ASAP. If you wait until a few days before election day, USPS cannot be trusted to deliver it on time, and an army of lawyers is apt to try to invalidate it. This is that one assignment in school that you hated because you couldn't slide it under the door on the last day of school. I know. I'm sorry. But this one is important. THE BALLOT IS LAVA #USPol

  RE: https://tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles/116986908414688088 Ableist-ass framing. At least the neuroscientist author partially credits his brain composition, but then the WaPo editors pick the headline “Why disabled thing alive? Because mom.”

  TIL there's been something called an Alien Terrorist Removal Court in the US for 30 years, but it's never heard a single case because it's basically got I VIOLATE THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSE written on its seal aaaaand of course the reason I'm hearing about it today is Trump wants to start using it https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/23/politics/alien-terrorist-removal-court-explainer

  Imagine spending $30k to sit your rich ass in a plastic seat in the sun and the smoke to watch 22 of the best football players in the world play to a tactical stalemate. Love this for them #FediFC

  "I can't emphasize this enough: the first team that puts the ball over the goal line--and I mean all the way over--really is going to improve its chances of winning the World Cup" --Alexi Lalas, probably (I have no idea, I'm not watching Fox, why would anyone do that to themselves) #FediFC #WorldCup #ESPARG

  Mexico not meeting the moment here. Paint by numbers stuff. Just swing it around until you can cross, but the crosses are coming in overcooked. Gonna have one more chance to put things together or it's adiós. #FediFC #WorldCup #MEXENG

  Watching SCOTUS coverage this hour across networks and the one group I havent’t heard anyone talk about is trans kids who want to play sports. But plenty about “biological men.” This whole thing is a cryptofascist campaign to make trans kids (and adults) feel scary and sinister. We saw it in the UK, and now it’s here. Draw your battle lines accordingly.

  Just saw someone refer to the reflecting pool as "The Strait of Warm Ooze" and okay, that's a pretty good one

  I don’t think people realize how unbelievably quickly OpenAI could go *poof* They are dependent on hyperbolic growth. If OpenAI is plateauing already, they’re in margin call territory by the fall. With money-losing products, 12 figures of debt, and key ICs making 7 figures plus, *in cash*, whose stock will be underwater. It might be as simple as waking up one day and finding ChatGPT, and everything dependent on it, just stopped. https://on.wsj.com/4cP7EHP

  Kind of loving that Péter Magyar is going to be the PM of Hungary. It's like having a German chancellor named Elena Deutschland, or a US president named Bob America.

  If you told me in 1990 that a coalition of Opus Dei and Italian fascists were going to platform a gay billionaire Republican to challenge the pope on end-times doctrine, I would conclude that one if not both of us was having a stroke

  Watching the qualifying replay. They popped up a graphic showing Leclerc was over half a second faster in low-speed corners than Russell. Which is a shock, because for several years Ferrari management was adamant that CAR GO FAST, even when being the fastest on the straights hamstrung them in races. So maybe something there has changed for the better. #F1

  Looks like the qualifying template for the early part of the season is going to be: Q1: both Williams, both Astons, both Cadillacs out Q2: 6 out of 8 of (Alpine, Audi, Racing Bulls, Haas) out Q3: Both Mercedes, both Ferraris, both McLarens, then a jumble of Red Bulls and the lucky qualifiers Guess we’ll see what upgrade season has in store. #F1

  Fast-forwarding to this fall: Whatever fandom is in second place will be pleading to hold Bahrain/Saudi in the fall, and failure to do so is proof of FIA meddling in order to keep them from winning. Whatever fandom is in first place will be insisting that any talk of reinstating Bahrain/Saudi will be proof of FIA meddling in order to keep them from winning. #F1

• Post #674109

  I'll say this: I kind of want to see them put the Liberty Media crew on the #F1 eSports races in place of Bahrain and Saudi. Cameras, commentary, driver interviews, the whole nine. I'd watch that (though not live, I'm not a cyborg).
