I've come to the realization that the US consumer base is the single most powerful form of soft power in the world. But I bet no US consumer feels like they have much global market influence (though that could be said of consumers world wide)

Constantly hearing impressions/reviews of the iPhone Air suggesting its thin form is a prelude to a foldable iPhone, now I wonder if next year Apple will just release it as "iPhone Air". No regular slab Air, just the 2026 iPhone Air is a foldable. Could be way off. We'll see Sept 2026 I guess

Past few days feel like garbage inside my head so it's nice to hear about weird stuff like this:

So here's my latest ChatGPT queries, friends cat just had kittens & I'm worried they don't know what they're doing. A little bit of sports terms I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know, and a bunch of geopolitical questions. I think the Chinese might have been for translating
