  • Lock Screen Ads Are Coming to Some Smartphones

    Jump

  • Phone manufacturers know where you touch your screen the most often and put their shittiest apps in that spot so you accidentally engage. It's the only reason I open up Google's AI, because I did it by accident.

  • If you could give a dead actor one more movie, made at any point in their career, what would it be?

  • Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.

    I'd love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.

    Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.

  • "The car is cheap because money is free" is what the article is basically saying: China provides no-interest loans to EV manufacturers.

  • Is the US currently in a recession or entering one?

  • I don't know if this link will work, but Moody's just released a statement that almost half of US states are in a recession. Closer Look on GPB had a Moody's economist on their podcast today:

  • UPS mass layoffs as 48,000 jobs cut

  • UPS mass layoffs as 48,000 jobs cut

    Jump

  • "14,000 roles primarily in management, alongside around 34,000 cuts within its operational workforce”

    This should bode well going into the package shipping season. But hey, at least the stock price went up after the announcement.

  • Researchers took 44 men and gave either plant-protein or animal-protein supplements for 12 weeks while strength training. There was no statistical difference in muscle strength or mass between groups

    Jump

  • It doesn't look like they had a control group of people doing the strength training without any protein supplement. I would assume that group would also perform the same.

  • Hell arrived a while ago and it is summer on Lake Myvatn, or Midge Lake. You can't breathe without inhaling insects, so you have to wear a mask just in case a cloud of those things happen your way.

  • Easily torrented.

    I watched it recently and the film didn't age well in the current social climate. Good script, great cast, but the story is about a "magic pill" that will make old people young again. That in itself is not a bad thing, but the end of the movie sees all the old people making the selfish decision to leave their loved ones for their own eternal bliss. I know it was supposed to be a metaphor for death and heaven and such, but now it just looks like Me Generation, head in the sand, fuck you I got mine, Boomerism.

    Wilford Brimley's grandson pleads for him not to go and tries to stow away on the heaven boat. And then Brimley's like "nope, I choose to never see you again, go fishing by yourself." If I was a grandpa, every moment with my grandson would be worth giving up an alien immortal orgy. Geez.

  • One of the biggest leverage pieces the US had to bully the rest of the world into adopting pro-US tech policy was the threat of tariffs. Now that TACO Supreme has levied tariffs at random all over the place, that threat is invalid.

  • If the crowd liked your guitar playing, Spaniards at the time would remove the onion from their belt (as was the fashion) and throw it on stage. It's nice to see Manet's attention to detail on the custom.

  • I might be out of the loop - is this a known fascist, a public figure whose politics we know?

    Either way, he is a Master Sargent in the US Marine Corp. He took an oath to defend the Constitution and not a single person or party. His power is bestowed by the people he is sworn to serve. If he is wearing that uniform with honor, that uniform is most definitely anti-fascist.
