I’m sure this has been pointed out before, but it’s very appropriate that the video for “This is America” was shot in an abandoned factory building.

That is so thoughtless and shortsighted of them! If we run out of water, how will the poor Saudis grow alfalfa for their racehorses?

It’s a brush for scrubbing barbecue grills, priced at an affordable $87.

Excuse me? LeVar Burton is still alive.

Nah, I think he’s much better suited to being a reality TV star. Oh wait, that’s what he is.

an honest and fair election

Trump hasn’t won one of these yet.

Police chiefs will be able to use the data to aid in hiring decisions.

“This guy has only beaten up three minorities and has never even shot someone. Next.”

The code reviews will continue until morale improves.

Only good capitalist is a dead capitalist.

What about the capitalists who are kept alive for organ harvesting?

Whoa there, pardner. Boeing has people murdered when they go against the company. Tesla only kills customers (so far, at least).

Maybe the 12 jurors just really hate Felon Husk and/or Tesla’s lawyers.

Normally, cruise control isn’t turned off by acceleration. It’s turned off by braking.

Release the unredacted Epstein files. The Epstein files didn’t redact themselves.

The corporation built almost entirely out of copying Apple and buying up competitors to destroy them?

Ironically enough, their biggest failure to do this was when they let the iPhone (with the help of Android) bitch-slap Windows Mobile and Windows Phone out of existence.

I got recruited by Apple some years ago because of my Stack Overflow account. I’m glad I ignored them, although there’s something to be said for an ungodly salary and Apple stock options.

I don’t think anything in the software world has ever pissed me off as much as the fucking ribbon. “We’ve run out of ideas as far as the UI is concerned - just throw everything up there somewhere, menus, toolbars, whatever”. A close second was their genius idea of hiding unused menu items so the locations of the items you do use are constantly changing.

I don’t use MS products any more but my 90 yo parents do and it’s a fucking nightmare trying to help them with stuff. MS Office is certifiable elder abuse.

That’s why the matching strategy is mergers to combine all the competitors into one company.

What if we really don’t like actual zucchinis? “No green summer squash” doesn’t have the same ring.

Also, how are we supposed to exclude Zion Williamson fans?

Pre-Facebook as the endpoint, sure. But mid- to late-90s was pretty cool, too.

I wouldn’t say it was designed with that in mind

In a sense it very much was. Al Gore as a young congressperson was shown the military version (Arpanet) and then pushed a series of bills that expanded this to the civilian world and created what became knows as the Internet. His explicit goal was to create an “Information Superhighway” that would allow for the free exchange of - wait for it - information. This phrase (popularized by Gore but probably not originated by him) was so well-known in the '90s that it became a standard joke format: “{fill in the blank} Superhighway” was sure to get a laugh.

Incidentally, during the 2000 presidential election cycle, Gore gave an interview where he said he “took the initiative in creating the Internet”, which was a perfectly true and reasonable statement for him to make. In fact, all he was doing was emphasizing an achievement that he was already well-known for. Months later, Bush advisor Karl Rove found this quote and mangled it into the “Al Gore claims he invented the Internet!” bullshit that so many people still think was real.
