Live your life such that you don’t agree to work for someone you once compared to Hitler.
Working on the script for an Oceans 11 type heist movie where, in the scene when the mastermind lays out the plan, an integral element requires a team member to go out and get elected as U.S. president.

Neat!
I'll take "things that didn't age well" for 500$
These sorts of ads in the Apple TV app are so obnoxious.

Oh god I redid the math on re-entries:

Each Starlink v2 sat weighs 1250kg. They plan to have 42,000 of them in orbit.

Each satellite has a planned lifetime of 5 years. That means they'll be de-orbiting and replacing ALL of them every 5 years.

That comes to 23 sats per day, which is 29 TONS OF SATELLITE every day.

It doesn't go away, it gets added to the upper atmosphere. Most of the mass is aluminum. What the hell is that going to do?

WHY THE FUCK IS THIS OK?!
