Anecdote: Where I work, we get an AI-generated transcript of every single meeting. Since that's useless, we started having Copilot generate summaries. Since those are useless, my boss is now trying to develop a series of prompts that might eventually push Copilot to produce a useful set of notes.

Consumer tech continues to break my heart. Got a 1 hour reprieve from my kids to go in my mancave and watch a show/game…only to be met with a update prompt from my console and a smart TV that’s got new firmware that’s enshitified the process of getting to the proper HDMI input.

An aircraft passenger oxygen mask: a drop down passenger mask with air bag and yellow plastic mouth and nose cover, oxygen tube has been cut; Demonstration model used by flight attendant crew for passenger instruction. Has text on the side indicating that it's non-functional.

The Spider-Man was a little all over, but damn…this was the best Tom Holland Spidey flick, the action was inspired and while I hate how much the stupid “No Way Home” ending drove the plot, it managed to give Zendaya some fun scenes. Also: Sadie Sink is a good kid. Whatever she does, I’ll watch. 😉

As someone who has sought out versions of Beyoncé’s songs where her husband’s rapping was cut out, I didn’t know what a bizarre product of capitalism he had become. The man says his presence is a present when asked about social change? Time to bring back Lemonade/elevator Solange vibes.

Jay-Z promised 2026 would be a year of "all offense." I took a stab at figuring out what that really means. www.theringer.com/2026/07/23/m...
