Ugh. Was looking for large plant pots on HomeDepot.com and thought for a moment I had an aneurism. Brand names of planter pots: Tuyohw. Oyezvary. Ogetfuur. Vevor. What is going on? Are they going IKEA? Did AI took over but forgot to make pleasant brand names?
Oh hey, this sounds like the Do Not Track setting all over again :) Except now it'll be brought to you by EU with a big stick "bonk on the head of asshole websites" powers #browser #cookies #privacy

If you ever thought that @sumsung.bsky.social #smart #fridge is a bad idea, you were right. Don't buy one. Because look at this shit. Does anyone aside from head of #Samsung marketing department EVER thought "you know what, my kitchen needs ADS!"? #badUX

Oh #Deadline, the moment #TronAres underperforms at the Box Office it's "long term COVID impact". Yep, not a crappy script at all. No Sir! That's just pesky Covid messing with the audiences. It seems to select only _some_ movies though. But oh well. That's right, only Covid.
#France, are you okay?

I think whole #Tylenol and #Autism thing might add a tiny bit of responsibility for people who publish vague "maybe maybe not, it's observational, and inconclusive" studies because now there's a threat of consequences. "Imagine this study gets used by administration to make decision. Feeling good?"
So what are the odds that Kimmel will dedicate whole show to trying to be as irritating as possible and getting suspended _again_ :)
The real question is will the CEO of #CrackerBarrel still demand re-modeling of all properties to look like Taco Bell. I understand that step in CEO's career was successful but you don't need everything to be Taco Bell, okay? We don't need Demolition Man timeline 😑

$18 mil for TWO days at half the theaters. How cool is that! Get a better story, get better results 😀

Well I do know if #Disney finds this new original IP for boys they'd go "but why is it not for girls also? so mysoginistic! we need to change it!" with quick "hm lost half the audience, wonder why" pikachu face.

It feels kinda like two shows stitched together -- classic Alien and a Cyberpunk Peter Pan story :) Which is fine and still interesting to me. Hopefully episode 3 also won't disappoint and we'll learn _why_ xenomorph went...
So, #Visa and #Mastercard have blocked #Roblox for reputational and brand damage, right? RIGHT? No? Only Steam? 😐
"Newsom has said the rollback will be temporary and that the gerrymandered maps would only be in effect for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections." Ahaha. Come on, nobody is that stupid to believe it. If it works it'll be there forever because democracy is somehow in danger

Eh, given size of Sunday drop during first weekend this is not _really_ that surprising. Still good enough to remain number 1 in second weekend #BoxOffice

I read about people saying #Vogue #AI dress ad is "unrealistic" and do wonder why they think it's somehow worse than a "regular" ad. Supermodel, custom-tailored adjusted dress, perfect light, a few rounds of photoshop on top vs "just generate it". Both aren't real, like fast food ad vs real burger 😐
Aww the whole stalker-like "Tea" safety app turned out to have crap safety itself, spilling some users' data including photos of government ID and selfies. Data is supposedly from 2 years ago but who knows...

WSJ trying to get in-depth understanding of things before firing up a random post? We should be so lucky...

I'm surprised that the 'Late Show' cancellation has been announced so far in advance. For the next half a year Stephen Colbert will be discussing _why_ it was cancelled, I guess (I mean we kinda know why)
On the positive side this never-ending "you're a government sponsored media!" saga will be over and they'll be fully independent and free to write with less internal censorship.
*sigh* My James Ryman werewolf t-shirt from 2009 has bit the dust. And guess what, it's not been made since then. I guess next time I find a design I like I should just buy like 4 or 5, just in case :(
So it's all horrible mismanagement of the EV switch? Last year it was "we'll have EVs by 2025", this year it's "coming in 2027"? As in kill old, promise new, not deliver the new, zero sales. I'd expect new ads to only go out a few months before new model is on sale or it's Sony Mobile all over.
When people tell you "No amount of money will make people do N" (where N is not something outright repugnant) I think they usually are lying. In majority of the cases it's "nobody will give you ENOUGH money" cause let's face it, with enough cash thrown in people will agree to _a lot_ of things.
May his long feline years be happy and full of good cat-naps and playtime :)
*confused contract law noises* Do writers for #Ironheart live in a universe where contract signed under duress is somehow valid? Was that in the comic? Some sort of a clumsy attempt at "but later it'll be all void and bring them more problems" foreshadowing?
Mmm... I did not have NYT advocating for trophy wives as "[women] signifiers of value" on my bingo list 🙄
Men simply follow the new rules.

Argument against "bubble/echo chamber" seems disingenuous though. The whole point was to keep BlueSky mostly leaning left, and that's why users go here. While "online in general" could give exposure to right-wing side it's not present on BlueSky in noticeable amounts and moderation is swift, no?
Eh, it'll be a loooong pause. Maybe they'll figure out how to write good episodes so ratings stop diving into toilet? Oh who am I kidding. It's clearly all fans' fault, they're just not insulting fans hard enough :P
