Comment Give up? Not very "rebellion" of him. (Score 1) 49

"How many nails can we realistically drive into Star Wars's coffin before it's time to give up hope of resuscitation?" writes Clarisse Loughrey for The Independent, ...

Never give up! Never surrender! Oh wait, wrong franchise. :-)

Maybe he'd be happy with New Hope? Oh wait, we had that. Hope Classic? No, new hope is now so old it's actually the classic. Maybe Classic New Hope and New New Hope - Newer Hope? Anyway, I'm sure Disney marketing will figure out a permutation and a great tie-in with Coca-Cola sponsorship...

The actual quote from TFA is,

Trump: "I am going to work very hard to see The Sunshine Protection Act signed into Law. ..."

Which is an odd way to phrase it given that he will (presumably) be the one signing it, and, to be honest, conjurers up several potential jokes -- about him and working hard (vs. hardly working), poor eyesight/health, someone else signing it -- that, to be fair, I just won't make. :-)

Also, it's a really stupid name for the Bill. If he has any sense of humor, when signing it he'll wear those special solar eclipse glasses - that he actually didn't wear that time he looked directly at the Sun.

...and yet still better than the Cybertruck conversion rate, a vehicle that plenty here claimed would be the greatest thing ever. Not sure which is worse, but then Elon Musk is the Donald Trump of Silicon Valley.

In recent there's a sucker born every minute Cybertruck news... Cybertruck plunged into lake for 'Wade Mode' test, driver arrested

"The driver stated he intentionally drove into the lake to use the Cybertruck’s 'Wade Mode' feature," police said, adding the vehicle "became disabled and took on water."

While the driver and passengers "abandoned the vehicle," according to police, Grapevine firefighters removed the truck from the lake.

The driver was arrested on charges of operating a vehicle in a closed section of the park and lake, as well as multiple violations of water safety equipment regulations.

He-he :-)

The only news here is that there are trump mobile customers

More pointedly, the leak revealed that there are only about 30,000 orders from the 600,000 preorders previously claimed. Doesn't necessarily mean they were lying, but that would be only a 5% conversion/purchase rate. Maybe die-hard Trump fans actually got tired of waiting or maybe it was all smoke and mirrors - hmm....

Trump Mobile has exposed customers' personal data...:

Truth Social once crowed about having nearly 600,000 preorders. However, the aforementioned leak suggests that only 30,000 people actually turned a preorder into an actual order.

"Unlike Flipper Zero" is a pretty big understatement, they feel like very different classes of devices.

To be fair, a 0 and a 1 are vastly different, like night and day, left and right, down and up, off and on, etc...
So maybe less like a simple version increment and more like flipping a bit from a, well you know ...

:-)

On the other hand, maybe they're just going to be simple and name products 0, 1, 2 ... which would be refreshing.

Seven months ago, the AI giant's former VP Kevin Weil posted on X: "GPT-5 found solutions to 10 (!) previously unsolved Erds problems and made progress on 11 others." ... It turns out, GPT-5 didn't actually solve those problems; it just found solutions that already existed in the literature.

Technically, he said they "found solutions" and they did find them - in the literature. He didn't say they "solved them".

Everyone else assumed he meant solved and assumptions are like AI companies, everyone (apparently) has one. :-)

At least we can take some comfort in knowing that the kind of persons who were convicted for their roles in the Jan 9 insurrection are also many of the the kind of people who are completely incapable of dealing with a million dollars cash payout and will spend it foolishly and end up impoverished and on welfare before they are done.

At least 33 are back in prison on child porn/molestation convictions, at least one with a life sentence, so there's that. Yessiree, a fine bunch of people. /s

Five years after January 6, dozens of pardoned insurrectionists have been arrested again

At least 33 insurrectionists who have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes since January 6, 2021. The charges range from possession of child pornography to sexual assault, child molestation and aggravated kidnapping. Many incidents occurred before the pardons; only four insurrectionists allegedly reoffended since receiving their pardons.

And there are 132 entries (so far) in the Jan. 6th Insurrectionists Crime Tracker searchable database that tracks the crimes committed by Jan. 6th insurrectionists before and after their violent attack on our Capitol. This one's interesting as it happened months *before* Trump's slush fund was created, the other day, like he was expecting it...
