The chasm between "my engineer says they can build a useful browser plugin in one shot" and threatening Salesforce / JIRA / Slack contracts because "AI will just build custom software that we'll use" is like 5 grand canyons wide.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

We wanted a typeface that combined the precision of code with the beauty of magazine layouts. The result is a high-contrast, geometric and distinct But Head!

<Rendezvous With Rama> is somewhat adult in tone but might be a good entrance into that realm when ready. No age-restricted themes that I recall.

So the imperial unit system at some point *officially* became based on the metric, right? An inch was redefined as 2.54cm exactly.

As someone living in Maine, folks are still excited about his candidacy, he lost maybe 1/4 of the young energy at most.
