It’s physically impossible for two grown men to resist doing air drums when that hits.
Somehow we did, but I was sweating. Later he acknowledged it was difficult for him too but he got through it

Ever wonder why Team Chad, Team AI, and Team White Supremacy seem to be all the same people?
Because they have one animating thought, a need that drives their attitude towards women, immigrants, and work.
They want slaves.
Female slaves, robot slaves, people of color slaves, all the same to them. It’s as if they’re offended by the notion that they’re not superior to somebody and have to take responsibility for their own lives.
On September 1 I’ll join the elite club (members Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Mike Markkula, and Bill Fernandez) who have worked under a number of Apple CEOs ≥ our employee number:
Woz: 1 (Scott)
Jobs: 2 (Scott, Markkula)
Markkula: 3 (Scott, Sculley*, Spindler*)
Fernandez: 4 (Scott, Markkula, Sculley, Spindler)
Espinosa: 8 (Scott, Markkula, Sculley, Spindler, Amelio, Jobs, Cook, Ternus)
* Markkula was a non-executive Board member under Sculley and Spindler but remained on active payroll

Leavitt, this morning: “The cause of this political violence is the constant accusation that this administration is fascist”

Nothing says “freedom” like escorting a boat out of a parade at gunpoint for a banner expressing a political opinion.
Take that, King George III!
Quoting
A sailboat, the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, was removed from the Sail4th 250 Parade of Ships for displaying banners about climate justice and clean water.

So lemme get this straight—the FDA blamed the explosive diarrhea outbreak on lettuce from Mexico in Taco Bell food, triggering a shutdown on both and a huge recall by the provider—then backed off and said they now have ZERO reliable positive tests for cyclospora on anything anywhere?

Reflecting pool, Freedom250, Qatar jet, ballroom… when you boast that your business acumen means that you can get a job done in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the price, who’s to blame when it turns out to be a total failure?
The same folks who were criminally investigating Jerome Powell for a $600M cost overrun on the new Fed headquarters are now telling us that the White House ballroom will cost taxpayers a billion dollars instead of being completely paid for by bribes.

The thing about wealth inequality is that poverty is very, very real and most American wealth is imaginary. It’s in stocks, whose “value” is book value + optimism. When the optimism evaporates, the wealth evaporates. When wealth decreases below debt (mortgage, credit cards, car payments) then poof, you’re poor. A 20% walk back in the market will bankrupt millions of households. A 401(K) crash means millions of seniors in poverty, probably homeless.
The *very* rich will be OK, of course.
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple announced that Tim Cook will become executive chairman of Apple’s board of directors and John Ternus, senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, will become Apple’s next chief executive officer effective on September 1, 2026. The transition, which was approved unanimously by the Board of Directors, follows a thoughtful, long-term succession planning process.

This may be hard for people under 50 to comprehend, but there was a time when you were not issued a username and password when joining a corporation.
That time was followed by a dark era when you were issued MULTIPLE usernames and passwords.
The simple explanation is that he wasn’t terrified because he’s just kind of hazy about reality; he doesn’t care about any actual motives or structural problems; the only thought in his mind is “how can I exploit this sensational event to my personal benefit,” and being thwarted on the erection of the marble and gold monument to his ego is what is most important to him.

I don’t have the actual employee records but I believe Woz, Jobs, Markkula, and I were all on payroll under Amelio in 1997. So Woz and I will have 8, and Steve and Mike 4 not including themselves.
