While y'all are watching the Nathan Fielder documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, I'll be out here waiting for the documentary about the Amish handyman who moves to San Francisco and uses Claude to write his flyers and accepts crypto as payment

A satirical flyer taped to a black lamppost on a sunny sidewalk. Headline: "Noah Powers, Amish Handyman." It lists services including carpentry, fence repair, chair making, horse care, wagon repair, barn raising, and executive retreats. Below: "Handwritten estimates. No electricity. No engines. No shortcuts." Fine print reads "Stablecoins or seasoned lumber accepted. Rush jobs require four horses. Surge pricing during harvest. AI companies must bring their own extension cords." A QR code says "Book online." Bottom line: "Now serving Palo Alto." Tear-off tabs with QR codes hang from the bottom edge.

Also, gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson can fuck themselves in several different ways, but one specific way is that they're suing FWFC over a trademark infringement because they think the logos are too similar. That's bullshit, Smith & Wesson. Eat a bag of dicks.

I've been getting into wristwatches lately — more specifically, obsessed with Casio digital watches. Especially excited for this one: the A100, a remake of their 1978 F100, the first-ever resin watch. Weirdly though, this one is metal. I love, love the Darth Vader-style buttons on the face, though!
