Mclaren I think

In fairness I do believe he's playing catch up and Honda sold them a dud...but yeah...

this is more of a pints quest than biodynamic wine...but maybe next time...

formula 1 starting their highest promoted season ever with a field of cars that keep dying or can't start. class.

An early morning sun rise over Dublin. Lots of lens flair. Big mood

i always liked the Ian Mackaye thing where he said when they recorded their first record they were a success, didn't matter how it did it. they were a success.

but products appear in our world - why wouldn't they in the film world?

but its also just realism - those logos exist in the world they are showing, ads are on the street, people consume products. they would in the films too

but wait - do you mean customers of expensify or customers of the film?

Legendary computer scientist Donald Knuth: “Shock! Shock! I learned yesterday that an open problem I’d been working on for several weeks had just been solved by Claude Opus 4.6.” [www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu]

why would customers care?

i just found out that "Expensify" that company that sponsors the fake team in f1: the movie is real. I assumed they had made up a fin-techy sounding brand for the film.

the fake chatGPT response meme format.....approaching played out....

found this old thing i made

there's an American actor who has a stipulation in his contracts that on set there is to be no traditional, slow, romantic songs played. It's Bob Balaban's ballad ban.

leftists still on X - get some help !

this wee guy can't be a TD. Is he? explains a lot i guess.

Across the nation’s television studios and podcast armchairs, wearied men grizzle accursedly with forked tongues into branded microphones: entombed by a game they despise and yet are paid so generously to discuss. Out there in the wild digital beyond, the sickness festers still deeper. The game has gone, they type into a little white box. This is not the football I once loved, click send. The beautiful game is broken, pleads the Telegraph. They think it’s all over, and perhaps it always was. Arne Slot is no longer enjoying himself, and presumably a good proportion of the Liverpool fans at Molineux on Tuesday night know exactly how he feels. John Terry is no longer enjoying himself. Yaya Touré is “disappointed”. Ruud Gullit is so disgusted he has decided to stop watching. Chris Sutton thinks Arsenal will be the ugliest winners in Premier League history.

fuck fuck fuck. im not ready

AI might cause an impending economic collapse, the loss of millions of jobs, speeding up the melting of the polar icecaps and is being used for mass surveillance and drone murder, but on the plus side, my local cafe can make instagram graphics of Punch the monkey eating tacos so its not all bad.
