@effthealgorithm I love this part:

Almost a month ago, I typed this little tweet into my phone while waiting for my coffee to brew after a crappy night’s sleep. I could never have imagined the response it’s received, or that it would lead to this week ahead when I’ll be meeting with publishers, agents, screenwriters and producers. (Regrettably, I did decline some guy named Phil’s offer of marriage because, even if life in a Colorado mountain cabin sounds lovely, I’m horribly allergic to remarriage).
So, I just want to say “Thank You, People of the Internet” for letting my rant tap our collective vein of rage and for speaking up to say you, too, are tired of how things are now.
But I can’t keep living online to respond to and elevate your reactions to this tweet while also having the creative energy and time to write.
And I need to write like I need to breathe. It keeps me going.
So, if you would, please keep your fingers crossed for me that all these meetings actually do turn into something.
The reason? You know the reason. I choose to write.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop.

Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password.

Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

“95% of @SpaceX shares are held by insiders. Only 5% will be publicly traded. Insiders hold $1.66 trillion in paper wealth they currently can't sell. The IPO changes that.
And they've structured it so insiders can sell BEFORE the standard 180-day lock-up expires. @SpaceX built in early release provisions -- after the first earnings report, insiders can sell up to 20% of their shares.” @LeoCapital_01
Eric Balchunas@EricBalchunas
Great look at the SpaceX shares unlock schedule as well as the potential passive buying schedule from @JSeyff @FrancisSharoon Depending on the early post-IPO returns, this could really play with and disperse the returns of "passive" funds (which is why there's arguably no such thing as passive). $SPCX

I’m afraid to come out as someone who genuinely loves the new Ferrari Luce
All glass upper? Looks like you can actually sit in it comfortably? That blue with yellow interior? Yes please.

Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

@naiivememe You guys are nuts.
If you dont WRECK THE CAR its not like the value of a beautiful Ferrari just vanishes once you buy it.
If it makes you happy, do it. Why did you bust your ass to earn that incredible net worth?!! Get it!

@patinaresearch Something tells me, this POS was set up to fail.
"You see, they don't want EV's!! Now, look at this twin turbo V-10 that red lines to 14k! Do you think it'll sell? Wrap it in carbon fiber... we are thinking another F40 styled throw back?"

@tobi You sure about that?
$640K....
You're certain, you're absolute positive, that you like this???

I think this looks awesome

@onrecordsm Awesome way to filter out the bots and spam.
And, as a bonus, all the wackos that live on here spewing madness.

Survivor 50 had a great opportunity to bring back some of the audience it's lost over the years...
It failed miserably.

@TalkeyHockey @BradJamieson You can say this about COUNTLESS Cup champions.
Goalies steal games, series and cup runs, all the freaking time...
English
@BradJamieson You're funny. Habs should have lost to Tampa in 6 and Buffalo in 5.
Only reason Montreal survived both series was Dobes stood on his head. Possession and scoring chances leaned the other team's way more often than not.

@pepemoonboy Grok absolutely loves your list.
Im deep diving now.
Thanks for the banger post.
