Me: I would like to do a stand-up comedy special please. I have dozens of hilarious jokes.
Netflix: Not interested.
Me: Okay what if I give a two hour pseudo-intellectual speech about the word "woke" and we just call it stand-up?
Netflix: Deal, here is 50 million dollars.

Hey Prime Video… how about you hire someone with crayon experience to rebuild your fucking UI/UX?
I mean seriously. Did someone build that shit? Fire them.
Did someone approve that shit? Fire them.
Did some overpriced executive say “wow this is cool”? Fire them.
Da fuck is wrong with y’all?

Apple is at a crossroads. There are elements in the company that want to join the insane AI circus (abandoning the slow lean in approach) and elements that are trying to avoid it at all costs.
This includes cohorts of shareholders.
It’ll be interesting to see which ideology wins this.

Buy a book.
Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.
Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

Today I learned that whales sleep with 1/2 their brain, to rest the other half, and then flip hemispheres to rest the first half.
Same with dolphins.
That’s some amazing biology. 🧪

The tech giants are succeeding in their mission to become the next generation cartels.
Yay. Good for you.
Now…
We’ve been watching, learning and positioning.
I suggest you find some humility and step into reality.
1 JAN 2026 is coming soon kiddos.
Consider yourselves duly notified.
