@andybates Yes
But they never had employees swags in the store, that’s why I questioned it.
Did you get one?
English
I hope that people realize this is a late April Fools’ joke
Some people are saying they will drive for one hour to get one!
Apple is not selling the 50 years anniversary swag that is an exclusive gift for Apple employees only.
This is what Apple Park Visitors center is selling as of today, no employees swag would be available for sale.

No way! Apple just dropped 50th Anniversary shirts at the Apple Park Visitors Center!!!🤩👕 Video Credit: morningscongaby on TikTok

@AlSultan_Meriam Yes I got one. It’s a company store shirt that employees also got.
English
@AlSultan_Meriam They gave all the employees the 50th Anniversay t-shirt, but that doesn’t mean it was specifically employee swag. They had the white and black ones when I got there, and I think that employees only got white. They often have limited-time shirts, for example around WWDC.
English
@andybates It’s unusual to sell an employee’s swag there and they didn’t have them when I went there, it seems like it was a one day sale, I didn’t ask to be honest.

@samhaves I always loved the Sunflower iMac design! That was my admin machine when I started in 2003.

@cheo_coker Hands down my favorite single season of the Netflix shows! It just hit on so many levels.

Best set I ever worked on. Loren is a genius.

@1776v1984 @HadrianHarker @mccue @nathan_eatssoup @realBOTwriter @WilliamShatner Kirk losing his son is a sacrifice. They all risk their lives, sacrifice their careers, and destroy the Enterprise. Seriously how do you not understand Star Trek this badly?
English
@andybates @HadrianHarker @mccue @nathan_eatssoup @realBOTwriter @WilliamShatner I have seen it. No major character sacrifices themself for Spock. All survive. 🤣
Kirk’s son dies protecting Spock and Saavik.
Kirk’s son = 1 individual (few)
Spock + Saavik = 2 individuals (many)
English
And when the Next Gen came out; there was tons of hate because it “wasn’t Star Trek” and the cast probably was in fear from the fans. Again when the series with Bakula came out, it too was panned by the fans because it “wasn’t Star Trek.”
Star Trek is different for everyone. 🤷🏼
English
@1776v1984 @HadrianHarker @mccue @nathan_eatssoup @realBOTwriter @WilliamShatner Clearly you didn’t watch Star Trek III which proved the exact opposite: They sacrificed themselves to save Spock, because the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the money.
English
@HadrianHarker @mccue @nathan_eatssoup @realBOTwriter @WilliamShatner No. That’s the exact opposite of Star Trek bud.
Thanks for proving my point.
OG Spock 👇🤣

@cheo_coker I will always remember watching him on The Wire, and it’s been incredible seeing his career progress over the years!

@vincentdonofrio There are few things I enjoy more than how much you love playing Kingpin!!! Thank you sir!

@WEDenterprise It was surprisingly immersive, considering it was just scenes from the movie projected on two side walls!
English
someone posted a peoplemover video from disneyland and showed the “SuperSpeed Tunnel” that was basically entering the 1982 TRON sequence HELLO??? THIS IS INSANE AND THE FIRST I SEE OF THIS
English
@PachzenWeedbroh @straczynski The effects were completed in 4:3, so I believe they are streaming now in 4:3. Eps previously went out in 16:9 but that meant the effects were cropped. And there were a lot of effects!
English
@straczynski So are the episodes streaming now in 16:9?
English
100% false. That would mean shooting the entire episode twice, performances wouldn't match, we'd be shooting 14 day eps instead of 7, the budget would double...no. We shot 35mm wide, composed for 4:3 and protected for 16:9 for later use.

@straczynski Dear JMS, I was in a bookstore in Burbank years ago and I met a person who said they worked on Babylon 5. They said you had to shoot scenes twice, once for 4:3 and once for Widescreen. I always wondered if this was true?
English
@BrucioMcCulloch I just met you at SF Sketchfest! Thanks for being such a formative part of my college experience!
English
@thatgrltrish @daftpunk That’s fantastic! So cool it’s coming out after all these years!
English
Yep that is ME in the new @daftpunk "Human After All" music video lol
This was filmed back in 2005 for Electroma and one of the first big jobs I booked after moving to LA 🤖 Cool to see it out in the world!
Robot bride ftw!

@JohnGraysors1k @HadrianHarker @ICELOVER6767 @HSurfdog @CooterDukeIII @GovPressOffice @InsiderWire You're contradicting yourself. And no it didn't prove him wrong.
English
@andybates @HadrianHarker @ICELOVER6767 @HSurfdog @CooterDukeIII @GovPressOffice @InsiderWire I did because I was wrong, I’ve admitted I got it wrong, will you concede it also proved him wrong?

#BREAKING: California Gov. found paying protesters over $100M in taxpayer funds.
English
@JohnGraysors1k @DrKarlynB @LibTard43740 @Life_of_Pleb @camhigby @reagan1hahn The other position was that agents weren't wearing masks to hide their identity. That position is correct. It was just you that was wrong.
English
@andybates @DrKarlynB @LibTard43740 @Life_of_Pleb @camhigby @reagan1hahn My position was “yes, the Biden admin required all DHS agents to wear masks during Covid” his was “they were not wearing masks during Covid”. It was in the middle of “it was required but many did”. So we were both wrong🤷♂️
English
Anyone who has actually watched the anti-ICE protests knows that there’s almost no “gear.”
The gas masks are cheap ones they buy off Amazon with their own money.
But the conservative influencers don’t actually do journalism, they just make things up for clout.
Libby Emmons@libbyemmons
CHIRLA has been a problem for a while. They have been supplying the anti-ICE protests with gear, were funded by DHS grants under Biden, and the FBI began looking into them in 2025.
English
@JohnGraysors1k @HadrianHarker @ICELOVER6767 @HSurfdog @CooterDukeIII @GovPressOffice @InsiderWire Also you deleted your Grok request so the response wasn't visible. So much for "Grok admitted it for me"!
English
@andybates @HadrianHarker @ICELOVER6767 @HSurfdog @CooterDukeIII @GovPressOffice @InsiderWire I was wrong. Happy?🤣 what like the other guy didn’t admit he was wrong once either. Also scrolling through your posts I can find things you were wrong about but won’t admit to it.
English
@JohnGraysors1k @DrKarlynB @LibTard43740 @Life_of_Pleb @camhigby @reagan1hahn And now you're using semantics to justify blocking someone you disagree with.
English
@andybates @DrKarlynB @LibTard43740 @Life_of_Pleb @camhigby @reagan1hahn I left a semantics debate not an outsider opinion debate
