Wouldn’t be surprised if the next insane action Trump and his toadies are going to try will be to demand gas stations take down or turn off the price signs, saying they are unpatriotic. #politics

“It will just open up naturally,” Trump says about the Strait of Hormuz. He also once said, at the beginning of the pandemic, that COVID would end by itself. "One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear"

I know this won’t happen, but it would be appropriate if the talking head shows at the completion of this dribbling drivel, just signed off after saying “nothing new was said. Good night and good luck.” #politics

Apple at 50: Gonna be, gonna be golden

The author, slightly more than half of Apple’s lifetime ago. A 50th anniversary is a good time to reflect on your relationships, and it seems lots of people have thoughts about their time wit…

There’s something entirely appropriate and also ironic about the U.S. Supreme Court hearing arguments about birthright citizenship on April Fools’ Day. Don’t get me wrong, they shouldn’t be hearing the case in the first place. But they are and here we are.
