Does everyone feel guilty when accused of something they didn't do, or is it just me?

That's Curél Hydratherapy, to be specific, and it's life-changing. Amazon also knows that I regularly buy office supplies and (snf) used to have a dog. I don't mind any of this.

I have no idea why a movie theater would have shown a Danish silent short of “The Tinderbox” before a screening of “Bedknobs and Broomsticks,” but it was the first thing I ever saw in a movie theater and it still haunts my dreams. I was five.
A soldier asks for a tinderbox from guard dogs with eyes as big as saucers.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

All of these companies have borrowed vast sums of money to build out AI products that very few are lining up to buy. None of them are generating enough revenue to service their debt. These guys are counting on an eventual government bailout.
