Apple's new "Crush" ad (let's call it "2024") is a visual & metaphorical bookend to the 1984 ad. 1984: Monochome, conformist, industrial world exploded by colourful, vibrant human 2024: Colourful, vibrant humanity is crushed by monochrome, conformist industrial press

Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.

Ironically, under UK law, Vance has the ability to claim this sign makes him anxious, and the police would show up at the door of the van driver. It's only Vance's principles that prevent this happening. So Vance is indeed correct.

The dumbest part of this is that France runs a majority of its energy via nuclear, so running AC has zero emissions. We need to stop equating energy reduction with emissions reductions. It's so stupid.

Last week, a drunk or drugged guy was raving outside my house at 3 in the morning for over an hour. He trespassed and damaged my property. I called the police. They drove past the scene, saw the guy and didn't bother stopping because *they* thought he was no threat. Within

So, to summarise, the UK has: - A Technology Minister who doesn't grasp the basics of the internet - An Energy Security Minister who is a zealot for the least reliable forms of energy - A Home Secretary who isn't interested in a vast rape conspiracy that's been running for

I seem to have upset people by pointing out that if the 70m people in the UK, only 32m pay income tax. Of those 32m, only about 9m are net contributors to tax. So in our hypothetical street, just over 13% of houses put in more than they take out... and other households resent

You know what the colonisers didn’t count on? Those of us born and raised in the West - in the mothership of the colony, turning on them. They thought we’d be forever indebted to them for their benevolence in how they imprison us. They thought they could colonise our minds
