Gadgets and tech used to be fun and cool. In the far-too-distant past, products would be released that could do something tech couldn’t do before, or faster, or were just neat. Commodore 64s and Nintendo Entertainment Systems gave way to Sega Genesises, which gave way to PlayStation’s, which gave way to supercomputers in our pockets that could surf the internet and play all our music. But somewhere along the way, tech became a nightmare. To use a product, you had to sell your data to the advertising company. The web, which was fucking awesome in the 1990s,...

Don’t look now (seriously don’t), but X and its cousin Grok have a CSAM (child sexual abuse material) problem. And nobody is doing anything about it because nobody cares.

Did he really fucking say that the U.S. would run Venezuela now? Forty people may have died in the assault? Did he order and manage the assault and kidnapping from fucking Mar-A-Lago? Not the White House? Did they do it while on camera and reading fucking Twitter? What did Grok have to say about it? That it was a great idea or that...

Wow still not used to typing “2026” even this late into the year. Anyways, everybody else is doing predictions, why not us? Let’s get started. The economy will finally break down Trump does seem to have the ability to escape gravity time and time again, but can number go up forever, despite him doing everything in his power to make number go down? The only thing anybody cares about is rising prices, and all he has done has been to make prices go further up. Despite what he says, consumers pay tariffs. Overwhelming immigration raids make construction...
