Just watched the video… it seems like it's asking for Prodigy without acknowledging its existence. 😕

Yeah… he lost the general election, but only by a hair, and a LOT of work went into grabbing last minute votes.

The most dangerous thing you can do is be complacent.

We need to vote and we need to get others to vote.

In retrospect, we haven’t had much in terms of badmirals in the streaming era.

Discovery had Admiral Cornwell, but when she’s presented with alternative solutions, she hears them out.

Prodigy maaaaybe has Admiral Jellico… but his bad-ness was “Don’t start a war with the Romulans”.

Strange New Worlds has April, who is barely a presence.

Picard has Admiral “Sheer /bleeping hubris” Chancy which… can you blame her?

Arguably, the only proper Badmiral we’ve really had is Buenamigo in Lower Decks.

That kinda makes sense.

Sanctions only work because of pre-existing trade with unscrupulous powers. Similar logic.

It bothers me that I can’t tell if this is because Musk is compromised by foreign powers, or is just that kind of trash.

I doubt it…

Someone dying in an Apple car isn’t the sort of headline they would embrace.

It’s also why Apple doesn’t run their own MVNO—better for a carrier to take the fall for phone issues; and let Goldman Sachs handle the banking.

I don’t see Apple doing their own car unless they feel like big auto is holding them back… like how Intel’s lack of momentum prompted the semi-recent processor transition.

Right now, CarPlay is not doing outstanding—GM in particular is flicking a big middle finger—but it is certainly reaching more customers right now than if Apple did their own car.

I wonder who Amazon managed to tick off.

Amazon’s monopoly has been defended by the government up to recently, particularly in the field of ebooks.

Certainly not defending Amazon, but I’m wondering what the full story is.

What actually happened here!?

This one was actually funny?

I’d argue the worst thing to happen to the Mac was hand-in-hand the Dawn of the App Store in Snow Leopard, and the fall of Version Tracker as the go-to resource for discovering apps.

If a rival App Store means that we get a functional search tool for iOS—and then by proxy the Mac—then I am all for it.

They should. They came alarmingly close to overturning democracy. Imagine a round 2 where there’s more organization.

In layman’s terms, what is happening to the voided properties?

The fact that Trump is appointing the independent feels… conflict of interesty.

Amazon has a tendency to sell certain things, books in particular, at a loss. It’s impossible to undersell Amazon and make a profit.
