AppleTV Gaming Hardware

Goodbye Arc

This post I'm writing right now doesn't exist in his vision of an AI browser. It'll just get slurped up into the machine and barfed out as part of an aggregation of "commentary in 2025 on Arc being tossed aside in favour of AI barf" question someone asks in a few years.

America the Beautiful

I don't know if regular Americans can appreciate the mental gaslighting being done to Canadians by elected leaders in the USA and media outlets like Fox News. For most of my life, being Canadian was something Americans mocked in pop culture and media. Now, that same country is talking about taking Canada—not as a joke, but as a serious political talking point. They believe they need Canada to "Make America Great Again."


It’s making me anxious, scared, and angry.

Chapters:

  • 00:00 America The Beautiful
  • 00:29 The American way. Take what you want,
  • 01:02 America is an idea
  • 01:31 Envy over ambition
  • 02:38 The mask is off
  • 03:12 Life just keeps on
  • 03:50 What now?
