Abracadabra, how’s your lumbago?!
Well, I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist. But that is the third race in a row when Mercedes have screwed Russell on the strategy… #F1

Has the ubiquitous food court staple ‘Chopstix Noodle Bar’ been bought out by KFC? Sure looks that way to me.

One of Apple’s big selling points for their controlling ecosystem has always been the ‘privacy’ that affords you… This is a huge misstep. What do they imagine the typical use case is for this feature?

I sold an iPhone 13 last year in order to buy a 12 Mini instead, as I couldn’t stand how big the 13 was.
Anything wider or longer than an iPhone 12 mini with a case is too wide to comfortably fit in a pocket.
Apple's first foldable iPhone will start at $1,999.

I swear no one cared this much about the Ballon d’Or until a few years ago. I don’t remember anyone talking about that when I was growing up — and even more recently, people didn’t obsess over that like they do now…

Also, why is this basically written up as "quirky crowd make an embarrassing mistake" and not "violent racists form mob because Asian people use hotel"?

One of the reasons people are viscerally mad about AI is that it is constantly publicly being used to violate millennia-old but today-largely-unspoken social taboos.

I unfollowed an Instagram account I had previously enjoyed today, because the creator posted a ‘sponsored’ Reel made with Meta Pervert Glasses.
Had my first student wear Meta glasses to class. The student didn't record - as far as I could see - and after class we had a discussion about privacy, consent, and surveillance and why I would not be allowing the glasses in class again. A Teachable Moment, as they say, that I hope makes a change.

‘We are currently experiencing a high volume of calls…’ No you’re not. ‘You maybe able to use your online portal to save time…’ I guarantee you that I won’t.

That’s the second consecutive race now that Mercedes have publicly backed one of their (title-chasing) drivers over the other with the strategy. The team wants Antonelli as champion; this is clear. #F1

There must be some kind of mistake… that looked like Flavio Briatore was just on my TV screen opining about ‘fairness’ and ‘integrity’. Yes. THAT Flavio Briatore. Surely that can’t be right? #F1

Exactly as predicted. Not only did we get classification from Barcelona before Monaco, but we got Austria, Silverstone, Belgium, Hungary and Zandvoort before the final Monaco results too. Unbelievable scenes, Jeff. #F1

Gigged on an actual grand piano in the lounge/bar of the cruise ship. Lots of ‘50s/‘60s rock’n’roll type tunes on a very short piano action means some pretty bruised finger tips. Luckily tomorrow we are in port, and heading to an authentic Norwegian sauna (apparently).
