@daringfireball.bsky.social So Tim Cook shows at The Monsters Dinner / Film Screening last night. Dude can't fall any further down the suck-up club. I'm hoping Gavin Newsom has some kneecaps for him. He's sucking hard. Hell of a way to destroy a once great legacy.

In 2017, I made 10 predictions about the decline of the US. Turns out, I was right on 9 out of 10 of them. I might still be proven right on the 10th. Read my original post, and read the 2025 rankings. It's pretty sad! jimcarroll.com/2025/08/what...
