Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

8 and a half-ish? I've seen some of Blade and I saw part of a Rush Hour movie (although it might not have been this one). Also I hated Depp and Pitt long before the truth about them came out so those were both hard nos for me.

It's also interesting that they did this to Talarico, whose sincerity, authenticity, and inclusive Christianity is winning over people like Rogan, and who seems particularly threatening to the vengeful, grifting evangelicalism that dominates MAGA.
One way to identify right-wing dominance of the US media environment: This is much more direct, egregious government censorship than the biggest claims of the “Twitter Files”—including ones they made up that had no evidence behind them—and will get a small fraction of the attention and outrage.
