At one time, I nearly made a career out of analyzing Apple.
Can’t imagine doing the same today.
1) I can’t get it up for almost anything Apple does anymore.
2) There appears to be nearly zero hope Apple will ever be able to be the beacon of technological idealism that they once were.

The state of technology in 2026:
• Monoculture is dead. Interest bubbles have taken its place.
• Under these conditions, AI has been able to tentacle itself into every crevice of our existence.
• Moral norms now relative to culture of individual interest bubbles.
• Shared reality…is dead.

Except Alien Covenant rules, and just needs another sequel. No retconning necessary.
I need 2 things from Hollywood, and yes, I am willing to beg for them:
1. We need another “Dredd” with Karl Urban as Judge Dredd
2. Retcon Alien: Covenant and give Prometheus a proper sequel
I am manifesting this reality. It must happen

Spotify is the worst thing to ever happen to music, and now they openly accept money from and promote domestic terrorists on their platform.
Cancel Spotify, there are better options. Apple Music has been the better platform for years.
