Indeed. I still can't comprehend how this wasn't flagged down at any stage. and it was clearly approved by Apple's top bass. it was in the keynote and Tim Cook tweeted it. They'll have to take it down at the very least. and probably do some damage control?

If you believed in - coast to coast autonomous ride in 2017 - hyperloop NY to DC in 2018 - million robo-taxis in 2020 - humans on Mars in 2022 Then I guess you are destined to believe in Optimus robots by the end of 2024.

To be sure there are counterexamples like Good Omens but still. Of course angels are genocidal maniacs in the Bible so there is that.

So I recently read Neverwhere by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com. I quite liked it but it got me thinking. In many modern books/movies angles are real assholes. Neverwhere, Dogma, Constantine, The Prophecy (1995 movie), The Fallen. is this a real trend or this just about what I read/watch?

Folks, I hate to tell you this, but the affectation of all lowercase typing is officially cancelled. Find alternate orthographic rebellions.

A WJS notification whose headline, in all lowercase, is "one way to stay young forever: type in lowercase."

podcasts as a medium usually have very low information density, at least in my experience. often there is a lot of banter, not anything you need to listen to all that carefully. and can be quite long. Accidental Tech Podcast episodes are 2 hours+. not listening to that at 1x speed.

mine varies but it's usually between 1.5 and 2. I use Overcast and it allows custom speed per podcast. as far as judging I would judge anyone who doesn't speed up their podcasts.
