Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

If you’d asked me to parody how silly and broken legal journalism is, I genuinely don’t think I could have come up with “so the best-known ‘nonpartisan’ Supreme Court outlet is now run by an ex-Trump DOJ flack who had her longtime personal friend Brett Kavanaugh officiate her wedding”

It’s one thing to rely on faulty evidence while thinking you have a gotcha moment. It’s another thing to start by slimming the witness, gloating, while you lie, being smug afterwards, and refusing to apologize. Schmitt may not be the worst Senator – Mike Lee, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz are contenders. 2

In case you were wondering, the AI summit yesterday REALLY was as much of a sausage fest as the seating charge made it look. David Sacks posted this.

On the scale of mistakes drinking this isn't quite fighting a land war in Asia but is certainly around the point of not checking who's pissing up stream from your water source. Speaking of urine, the last few mouthfuls are not at all pleasant as the contents have warmed up a bit since opening.

The taste in the second half is best explained as someone giving you a wet willy in one ear while whispering "fruit" in the other ear. The side of the can mentions mental focus which seems to be true as I'm certainly focusing right now on whether I've committed gross dietary heresy.

First taste has a little scintillating tongue effect like when you've mouth pippetted sulfuric acid just like you've been told not to and now suddenly you're having an issue. Tastes sort of fruity yet I'm not sure I'd considered this overly natural. More experiencing fruit as explained to a cat.
