I know it’s an #AppleTV show but the level of #Apple product placement in #TedLasso is such that it actually takes me out of the action, breaks the veil of reality. It’s just not believable that absolutely everyone uses an #iPhone, their laptops are exclusively Macs, they have casual discussions […]

Koirat: Nuolee ruokakuppinsa puhtaaksi. Kissat: Jättää viimeiset 20% ruoasta lautaselle ja sitten meinaavat kuolla nälkään. Ihmisen pitää siirtää jäljelläolevat ruoat keskelle lautasta kasaan jolloin kissat saattaa syödä niistä vielä osan, mutta ei kaikkea. #kissat #koirat

A carpenter friend in California told me today that the price of copper has gone through the roof -- e.g. $100 for a short section of pipe. He said the data centers are hoovering up raw materials in such a frenzy that the cost of essentially all construction materials is insane. I haven't seen […]

A couple early snapshots of the extended test drive we are doing in the #KGM #Musso #EV #pickup in some actual rougher terrain and where it will later be hauling some load. Unlike all the other test drives online. Anything you’d like us to still try and cover or answer? #cars

A yellow off-road vehicle parked on a gravel path in a forest. The surroundings feature tall trees and scattered autumn leaves on the ground. The scene is illuminated by the vehicle's lights, creating a cozy atmosphere in the dusk.

#AliceInBorderland was a superbly filmed, intriguing and surreal Japanese take on the #SquidGame theme (and actually predating the latter). But by S3 it became melodramatic, aimless claptrap. A hard pass. Watch the first season and leave it at that.
