🔗 Daring Fireball: Netflix Shitcanned Film Chief Dan Lin Too
Netflix’s movies are worse than their series, which also mostly stink. (As opposed to Apple TV, which somehow makes terrible movies while making the best series in the business.)
It is interesting Apple observation. I can’t think of a good film that they produced off the top of my head - but so many of their series are absolute bangers.
🔗 Daring Fireball: Verizon Is Going to Charge $10/Month for iPhone Handoff
Second, we all know Verizon is the most expensive competent carrier in the U.S. (Maybe AT&T is just as expensive, but I said “competent”.) It feels like a rip that T-Mobile is charging $5/month. Verizon charging double is on-brand but irritating.
My better half insists on Verizon and her bill is always twice - sometimes three times mine.

MAGA official falls for prank in Sacha Baron Cohen's new movie
MAGA official falls for prank in Sacha Baron Cohen's new movie
The Texas Republican and other MAGA folk are taught supposed self-defense techniques, including wearing a protective plastic buttock. He also teaches them how to fire bullets from the middle of these buttocks by stroking a rubber penis.
Lmao that’s just… a typical Tuesday for these guys I guess. Pretty tough prank to spot, honestly. I bet it totally looked like a legit wiener butt gun someone might use to help secure the border.

High health costs squeeze workers, even if you have good insurance through a job
High health costs squeeze workers, even if you have good insurance through a job
Like about 157 million Americans, Babbitt gets insurance through his job. Unlike most Americans, his job has exceptionally generous benefits. “Our owners are very nice — they give all of our employees health care and they pay for it,” he says. The company offers several different plan options and covers most or all of the monthly premium cost.
I didn’t know this was even a thing. You always hear about “benefits” as if you’re privileged to be able to spend as much as rent every month on a health insurance plan with a $5000 deductible that mostly covers preventative medical care.
…and yet healthcare is still too goddamn expensive even if your employer pays your monthly premiums.
