“Camera doorbells are social cancer as a technology, breaking down social solidarity and further encouraging people to see strangers with suspicion.”
Christmas is coming, and the Black Friday sales signal we’re in peak gift-buying season.
When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, there’s a whole slew of tech products that are better to avoid. I put together a guide to help you through it.

Whatever one thought of it in the moment it's clear that a wide swath of Saint Paul residents have given SPPD a lot of good faith assumptions during an era when policing is under greater scrutiny. And I think today is gonna mark a major shift in that sentiment for a significant chunk of citizens.

Tomorrow is a day to use your weakest desktop computer. Celebrate its limited performance. I even downgraded from an ssd to a spinning drive. It makes a little "clunk" when it starts now. :-)

it is incredible that America is one of the most culturally successful empires to ever exist, in terms of the popularity of its media exports and its deftness in propaganda, and yet somehow despite these riches, our god-emperor chooses Rush Hour as his favorite part of it

he’s going Howard Hughes Mode
I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

As far as i can tell, people are recording/yelling while wearing their pajamas and sandals, and the feds respond by pointing their weapons at the crowd and then gassing a residential block.

WATCH St. Paul police, aiding ICE, restrain a man and spray him full in the face. They are not and have never been on our side.

Update: more ICE agents are arriving, some wearing gas masks -cars are out front, thinking on the ground is that ICE may make a move soon. If you can go to the address below, go

Underrated part of this interview to me is how dumb and lame he makes Liz Collin look for not knowing who he is. Should have been a red flag 15 years ago.
On this day in 2010, Paul Westerberg was "a man on the street" for the WCCO report

Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Somethign as expensive as an IPhone should be classified as a "durable good," like a dishwasher or a stove, and not be expected to be replaced ever couple of years. Also, Apple should understand, really understand, that very few people want native AI on their phones, and will stop buying them.
It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight

The worst part about having a minor gas leak in your home that you refuse to fix due to an ongoing, morally justified, but nonetheless sexually charged, dispute with your neighbour is that it really colours how people judge your takes. They're prejudiced against new ideas you or your cat suggest.
