  • I’m Still Going to Be Polite To Siri Just In case But Still…

    April 3, 2023

    Send this to the Tech Bro in your life and watch them start getting all grumpy.

  • Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

    August 31, 2022

    I’m not gonna say I’m going to buy a Roku just for this so I can stream it in 4K, but I’m not not saying it, either, so.

  • ‘These new vaccine mutants are extremely disappointing,’ by Magneto

    June 11, 2021

    From Alexandra Petri at the Washington Post:

    Sherri Tenpenny, an osteopath, testified in Ohio that, “I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures all over the Internet of people who have had these shots and now they’re magnetized. They can put a key on their forehead. It sticks. They can put spoons and forks all over them and they can stick.” When I heard this, I was more excited than I have been in years. People who could control metal! Magnetic people! I felt full of hope for mutantkind. These new mutants were appearing in state legislature after state legislature, testifying to the development of these new powers, and I said to myself, “Finally everything is coming up Magneto!” I was so excited. […]

    [L]et me tell you, I was pretty let down.

    I spent more time cackling while reading this than I care to admit.

  • New “Fast & Furious 9” Trailer: Just Take My Money Already

    Come for the ridiculous magnet stunts, stay for Helen Mirren in a car chase.

  • More Like “Excellently Drawn Pet” TBH

    March 24, 2021

    The fine folks at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa recently did a Poorly Drawn Pet fundraiser — if you donated to them, and sent them a picture of your pet, one of their volunteers would draw your pet for you, which is a brilliant idea tbh.

    I donated about 30 seconds after I heard about this, and let me tell you, the results were everything I could have possibly hoped for:

    A drawing of my golden retriever, Sunshine, with the caption "A Happy Dog", which is so spot-on that it melts my face.
    “A Happy Dog” is right, good work anonymous artist!

    While the Poorly Drawn Pets fundraiser is over, you can still donate to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa here. You know you want to, just do it.

  • Un-Un-Carrier

    March 9, 2021

    T-Mobile is going to start sharing some customer information with third-party advertisers unless their customers opt-out, which is so cool and not absolutely jackasstastic at all:

    T-Mobile will soon put a new privacy policy into effect that will allow it to share certain kinds of customer information with third-party advertisers. Starting on April 26th, 2021, all customers will be automatically opted in to the new program, as spotted by The Wall Street Journal. Customers who don’t want to participate will need to manually opt out using their accounts’ privacy tools.

    For a carrier that built up their business shouting about how they weren’t like those other cellular providers, this is a pretty standard-issue-carrier-horseshit move.

  • iOS and iPadOS 14: The MacStories Review

    October 14, 2020

    Federico Vittici’s annual small-book-length iOS and iPadOS review is now out — I haven’t read it yet, but it’s so good each year that I’m just going to link you to it anyway.

  • The Hamilton Polka

    July 5, 2020

    About five minutes after I started watching “Hamilton” on Disney Plus, I started wondering how long it’d take Weird Al to get a music video together for “The Hamilton Polka”.

    Turns out the answer was two days, and it was worth every second of the wait.

  • Black Lives Matter.

    June 2, 2020

    If you’re as frustrated at everything that’s going on and looking for a way to help, there’s an excellent list of resources here.

    Also, for the record, if you’re thinking of contacting me to argue about this, or just be a shitface in general, you can figure out where the unfollow button is on your own.
