“They’re just there thinking real hard”

I was thinking Soylent Green, but if Buffy provided a reference point for Charlton Heston, all the better.

They never say what the “natural flavor” is

…it’s people?

I’ve heard enough about Palantir to know that something is rotten in the state of Denmark but had been wondering about the specifics. Funny enough, I saw a Palantir commercial interspersed with friendly, shiny Apple commercials just the other day. (Sorry for the crap photo. I didn’t want to be so obvious about recording our sinister digital overlords.) The ad makes a vague assertion about “revitalizing the American industrial base.”

I’m not confident about it, but I sure hope you’re wrong!

“Take my [family], please”

…a semi-autonomous vehicle surveying a dead landscape?

Good question. I was just reading the article about it on The Verge, which mentions:

On the back, you’ll find a 50MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide camera, while the front has a 32MP hole-punch camera for selfies and video calls. That’s a significant step down from the Fairphone 5, which used 50MP sensors on all three of its cameras.

No mention of camera quality, though, as it’s basically a press release post and not a hands-on or review. I wish this would be available in the US for a fair price.

What a cool trip down memory lane and through gaming history.

We can even replace “Nazi sympathizer” with a shorthand designation: “Nazi”

Putting the “banal” in analyst.

I find myself feeling bad for a lot of people’s kids and the ones in this story are no exception.
