in 2007, steve jobs promised an all-in-one device that would serve as a cell phone, an ipod, and an internet device. what he introduced next was the Mac Pack: a 135-pound backpack with a pull-over steel dome housing a computer monitor, a 14-foot aerial antenna, and a 900-foot retractable power cable

Reform UK and the Green Party have a similar amount of public support but you'd never know it by watching the BBC.

Tory Fibs @toryfibs.bsky.social · 2d

The BBC

• Refused to interview Zack Polanski after he was elected leader in September.

• Cancelled a Zack Polanski interview after his Conference Speech.

Every other elected party leader of other parties got both a post election interview and a conference interview.

So this wasn't the most successful outing but I do think the general construction of "THING? No thanks! I'm going to go home and BLANK with my wife" has legs.

Their argument was that if you translated that to a school grade, it would be failing. Fine argument except we aren't in school anymore and enjoying a 3 star film won't stop you from getting into Harvard.

Adam Cecil @fakeadamcecil.bsky.social · 14d

I remember telling someone that I thought a movie was a solid 3 stars and they acted like I just gave it the death sentence. 3 stars is good!

Joel Morris @gralefrit.bsky.social · 14d

Remember @andrewmale.bsky.social explaining the star system they used at Mojo.

* Awful for everyone
** Disappointing for fans
*** Fans will like it
**** Non fans will like this one
***** Career-best work, remarkable

Most things will therefore get three stars in a sane world.

The democrats had a combined 12 years (8 Obama and 4 Biden) to break up Sinclair. People were hip to this stuff in the 2004 election.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.
