From the "1984" Superbowl ad that Apple ran in announcing the Macintosh. Here in all it's glory:

Many people do not believe it exists. Which is of course insanity.

While that was more than a bit grandiose it was an awesome ad nonetheless.I can see how much he really hated Balmer and the asshole mystique highly compliant dev culture. Thank you.

One of the best movie I've seen about day to day Russian anti-Semitism in Ukraine is the Yiddish movie "Tevya" made in 1939 in the US. A lot less dancing and fun than Fiddler on the Roof.

I've read Ukrainians were historically anti-Jewish. But it's no longer the 1930s and 1940s. Most Jews have left Ukraine. And Putin really needs to get kicked to the curb.

After a slightly rocky start, Colbert at Late Night has been even better than in his prior RWNJ spoof.

If he had just put his inheritance into Value Line and left it there, he would be far richer than he has ever bragged about.

Had he put it into Berkshire Hathaway....

The "little plastic swatter" is putting Putin's captive audience into financial free fall. Maybe someone should freeze Dipshit D'Souza's bank accounts and let him see how that works out.

I hate to say it but Space X is doing what the space-industrial complex has shown itself to be incapable of doing - quick iterations of novel designs that work. Artemis is a huge waste of money and still hasn't managed to meet its timelines or stay within its budget. FFS they can't even flight certify their crew capsule.

Elon Musk is a pompous asshole, but the one thing he is good at is getting people to give him money to fund things that actually bring technology forward. I think that he has (limited) usefulness as anything but a blowhard showman, but apparently he does have the ability to understand detail and find the right people to solve problems.

However he is also prone to dumbass flights of fancy that go nowhere. Been on any hyperloop trips lately?

I was thinking along the lines of the Polish Rozyszcze or Rorzyszcze - or Ros-zhi-shch-e, with shch pronounced like in fresh-cheese
