In today’s episode of: Pundit ask questions for no reason.
A year on, why is there still no replacement for the original HomePod?
Quick answers:
It was too expensive.
It didn’t differentiate enough.
No one bought it.
Why would Apple replace a product no one actually wanted?
I did not know this was happening. Interesting that Amazon bought a whole movie studio. I wonder if Apple will do something like that now that they’re getting into the entertainment industry.
Amazon officially completes its acquisition of MGM for $8.5B
I mean, you obviously don’t have to be smart to be part an elected member of a government. You just have to convince people you’re not incompetent.
Free Speech Isn't What Americans Think
Dear New York Times Opinion,
This is not Free Speech.
For all the tolerance and enlightenment that modern society claims, Americans are losing hold of a fundamental right as citizens of a free country: the right to speak their minds and voice their opinions in public without fear of being shamed or shunned.
Buried way down at the bottom of this article is.
It is worth noting here the important distinction between what the First Amendment protects — freedom from government restrictions on expression — and the popular conception of free speech — the affirmative right to speak your mind in public, on which the law is silent.
That is one big doozy of a clarification to bury in the bottom of an article about Free Speech. You’re not saying that The United States government is restricting Free Speech (actual definition); you’re saying people are afraid to say something - definitely not Free Speech.

Watching V for Vendetta tonight I’m amazed that Natalie Portman could act with Hugo Weaving waring a mask the entire time.
Talent everywhere and a wonderful movie.
It feels so strange waking up at 3pm instead of my normal 10 am. But, that is the price I pay for working an overnight shift yesterday and getting home at 8am instead of midnight.
Now the task is try to get back to a normal schedule.
The only acceptable thing to think when you see this bumper sticker.
Here we are, born to be kings. We’re the princes of the universe
Puerto Rico should be a state in the United States. So should Guam. so should America Samoa.
The United States shouldn’t have territories that are not actual states. It’s past time to give representation to those without.
Am I wrong in my understanding of Critical Race Theory?
As I understand it:
It is a graduate level, post college/university, theory looking at American history and acknowledging that race has played, and still plays, a critical role in understanding events.
Thanks to trying out NetNewsWire; I came across this old post from The Sweet Setup about Artifact Uprising and their photo print service.
Maybe I need to take some time and review old RSS stories that I’ve liked and shared in the past.
The speakers on the M1 MacBook Air are pretty impressive to my ears.
Today’s advice:
A MISTAKE MADE TWICE IS A LESSON NOT LEARNT.
It is okay to make mistakes.
Learn from your mistakes.
Work to not repeat your mistakes.
I love these weekly photo recaps.
