  I know an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don’t know why she swallowed the fly… https://geekspin.co/startup-to-cool-earth-by-blocking-sun/

  “google Chrome silently installs a 4GB model, no consent…” My friend, you consented to install chrome. (I have not.) Do you expect them to run every fucking byte past you for approval? It’s called: adding features to software. There are other web browsers if you don’t like the features. You don’t initiate the complaint as “I installed this software and now it updated itself.”

  Dammit Apple Maps, if it’s 6:02am and the bagel place opens at 7am, that’s not “opening soon”.

  The WSJ is such a great paper because they see into the president’s heart. While other papers merely tell us about the things he did, the WSJ loves to dedicate headline space to telling us what he wants to do, what he feels, and what he’s *thinking*. NATO falling apart?

  “But otherwise, whoever wins the capital-D Democratic primary will go on to win the general election, because it’s California.” So. Fucking. What? The general election doesn’t exist to give you horse-race entertainment. The purpose of it isn’t to be exciting. The purpose is to elect a leader. The general election being boring isn’t a problem that needed solving. The purpose of a primary is internal to a party. Let’s field 17 democrats and see which one we want to put our effort behind, and t...
