Man, if there were a Fairphone Pro, or even the potential for upgraded hardware with the modular layout…. I’d be EXTREMELY tempted. The Murena open source OS is also very intriguing.

Starting my dad on Severance. It’s also fun rewatching and seeing what I recognize now with more knowledge

1/2 Often think about how people seem to be partly the problem for our current media landscape. People sure seem to share awful stuff about awful people a LOT more than stuff that's cool, interesting, fun, or productive....

You've probably already read a bit about production possibilities for the G90 Wingback, but if not, I've also written up a piece from what Mr. Donckerwolke told the press during a roundtable I was in.

I am the very model of a modern Pope in general,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the saints of Peter and I quote the liturgical,
From Genesis to Revelation, in order ahistorical!

Seeing that Europe is putting out their first drive reviews of the new Jeep Compass. It's amazing to me that Stellantis seems to be in no hurry to get that thing to America.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.

Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

Something that’s been on my mind since my Vegas trip is how I spent $20 each in 2 spots: a slot machine in Primm, and on multiple machines at the Pinball Hall of Fame. I was at the slot machine for maybe 20 minutes at most, and it was one of the most boring things I’d ever done…

I kind of hope Strange New Worlds can squeeze in at least one or two more episodes with Rainn Wilson’s Harry Mudd. I think he was written as a little TOO serious in his Disco episode, but I think he showed potential to be a pretty great Mudd.

Getting gas for the Burb. A mid-2000s Sonata was next to me, and I swear, the open door chime sounded like the ‘80s speed chime in JDM cars.

I had to pull off and share this now, because I’ll forget later. I just saw a license plate that read: 4NLP00. And I have no idea if someone snuck that by the SoS, or if it’s just an amazing coincidence of a standard plate.

More in-flight movies with Joel. Watched Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas for the first time. Uh… It was…Something. I think I may need more context and/or familiarity with the source material. Otherwise it sure feels like a couple of assholes went on a bender and maybe wrote a couple decent insights

Sitting in the plane at the gate. Bad weather in Paris apparently. So that means I’m trying to get to better weather in, yes, Detroit.
