@Emmie_exx How is creating multiple products "creating a problem"? Should YouTube not earn money to pay for the cost of servers, hardware, software, employee salaries, insurance...? I'm afraid you've got this backwards.

consumers are so fucking stupid you can literally create a problem, and have them praise you for selling the solution

@_trish_xD Yeah but now you can use AI to summarize the PDF for you! That's what we all wanted, right? RIGHT???

it's honestly embarrassing that Chrome accidentally became the best PDF viewer while Adobe spent decades making Acrobat slower and more bloated

@chicagotribune Public schools should not be involving children in protests. Our taxes should not be funding political activism by using our children as puppets.

From the Editorial Board: CTU is planning a May 1 protest and has pushed for excused absences so students can participate. It’s bad enough that the union is asking its members to abandon their jobs; what’s worse is that they want students to participate. chicagotribune.com/2026/04/08/edi…

@JacobsVegasLife All lined up for plates of "meh". Been there. Food was not exciting.

Line to get into Guy Fieri's restaurant at LINQ at 7:40pm on Thursday

I'm so happy that people are finally learning about the Apollo missions after Apollo 11 The program did so much in such little time but only gets attention for the first landing

@PattersonSonny @bestofStarTrek She was not superb. She was ok. Raffe stole the show. And by "stole" I mean, she ruined almost every scene she was in. Horrible character. Awful writing. Actor was amazing for keeping her consistently awful for 3 seasons.

@bestofStarTrek Overall, I enjoyed it. S2 was a bit weak, but Jeri Ryan was superb and stole the show.

What are your honest thoughts on Star Trek: Picard?

@MrMicPowers @bestofStarTrek Are you, me????

@bestofStarTrek Honestly? Season 1 was bad. Season 2 was completely unwatchable. Season 3 was very good and would have been better if the very poorly written "Raffe" wasn't in it.

@VitalVegas It's starting to look like a glass magic potion flask you'd pick up in a 90s video game.

Hard Rock should call this the JFC Tower.

@jayzawaski Calling it "the UC" sounds like something someone from LA would say.

There’s no glass behind the Hawks bench at the UC. It’s a strange view. Makes you feel like you’re on the ice.

@hollywoodscifi Excellent curiosity-bait with your last remark... great way to build engagement.

Someone asked "Are there any Star Trek actors you have met?" A bunch! We have met very few from the Kurtzman shows. But we've met all TOS leads, all TNG, most Voyager, most DS9, a few Enterprise. Honestly, they were all lovely, with the exception of one from DS9.

@Miggysbat Wrigley field faces away from downtown too.

@Miggysbat And?? The Giants field faces toward the ocean.

Unrelated, but I seriously have no idea what the White Sox were thinking when they built Rate Field. The Chicago skyline is literally right there, why would you have your stadium face away from it? 🤨

@bestofStarTrek It was kind of stupid and one of the first indicators to me at that time that JK Abrams just wants to recycle stuff, because all he knows how to do is write love letters to the Greats of film but not be a Great himself.

What are your thoughts of Star Trek Into Darkness?

@ManaByte ba'dum t'ss!

This is one of the greatest photos ever taken by a human…so far.

@TimOnPoint Sorry they didn't entertain you enough, in between doing all of that awesome science.

NASA really blew a golden opportunity with this flight. They should have had wall-to-wall experts and personalities talking about this mission, future missions, science, physics, stories, etc. NASA has so many talented people, why not feature them. I'm really surprised about it too. They have the human resources, why all the dead air and a single, unchanging video feed? Heck, they could have turned the broken toilet story into pure science class gold. This is/was the single best way to capture/maintain/increase support from the American public and capture the imagination of the next generation. Sorry, I don't mean to be that guy, I'm very excited about the return to the Moon... my kids turned it off.

"Loving science" and using science to describe reality are two different things. "Welp. God must've done it." is by definition, not testable by the scientific method, which does not allow room for Theocracy in the halls (and labs) of science — and never will.

@Pete_Martuneac It is genuinely a pain in the ass to get there, all to be around a lot of obnoxious people .

The accounts who are posting nighttime shots of Soldier Field from an elevated view have almost certainly never gone to a game there. It sucks. Worst stadium in the league by far, and no amount of pretty pictures taken from the sky will change that.

@neontaster Which scandal?

On last night's Jeopardy, one of the answers was Cesar Chavez, and they flashed a date on screen as the response was given so that you knew it was recorded before the scandal became news lol

@lacherbauer Long overdue how? An EL track over Western or Ashland would devastate the local aesthetic, ruin the street structure, and cost god knows how much to implement. Money Chicago doesn't have. Just take the bus to the red line and then bus back! Use the available infrastructure.

A mid-city/crosstown ‘L’ line at Western or Ashland is long overdue in Chicago.

Sometimes when we borrow words from other languages, English can become delightfully redundant. ‘Scampi’ means “shrimp” so ‘shrimp scampi’ is basically “shrimp shrimp.” Sahara Desert = Desert Desert chai tea = tea tea naan bread = bread bread ahi tuna = tuna tuna
