(The scene: a designer for Hypersquare sits at his kitchen, cup of coffee in trembling hand, red eyes glancing over a huge pile of steering wheel designs. Suddenly, his eye falls on a cupcake tin; the two cupcakes at each end have been eaten.)

Finally, what we've all been asking for at long last is here: a steering wheel designed by someone who is not a human being, and has never driven a car.

My man dropped the word "acerbic" when talking about how the ICE agents mocked his personalized license plate about his grandchildren.
Although I am not a native Minnesotan, I've lived here long enough to know that this man may be the angriest Minnesotan in recorded history.

Because if you care about securely owning a movie that you love--as opposed to "owning" it only until a license agreement over which you have no control expires without warning--you need a DVD or Blu-ray. The hardware may be yesterday; the concern is very much of this moment.
Why do (us) old people want to burden Gen Z with our nostalgia for an antique piece of hardware in the first place?
A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"
He said, "I don't know, like $500?"
Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.

I do think this ICE BS is backfiring. They thought footage of their racist thugs would be widely cheered by their base and instead more people are turning on them and/or becoming radicalized.
Folks already against them who might've been angry at home are now hitting the streets.

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

To be clear, they only tested the two — the assumption is all 72 birds had HPAI. Which um isn’t great.
