Unsurprising but insane god-complex coming out of… you guessed it, Silicon Valley:
Zayner wants to create the next generation of pets. “I think, as a human species, it’s kind of our moral prerogative to level up animals”

Absolute insanity from the US, unsurprisingly:
This executive order instructs federal employees of the federal government to ignore Supreme Court rulings and congressional actions if the President or Attorney General tell them to.
Tell me you’re trying to become a dictatorship without telling you’re trying to become a dictstorship.

Monday, February 17, 2025
The climate crisis has driven up coffee prices, but brewing at home remains a more affordable and enjoyable option compared to coffee shops.🎥 🍿 The Gorge ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A cool concept let down by a final act that went a bit too fast in terms of pacing in contrast with the exposition of the beginning of the movie.
Think Resident Evil x Annihilation x a RomCom

Finishing #Silo season 2 tonight. That article last year on the Verge was right: Apple TV+ definitely is the best place to watch great and unique Sci-fi

Major FOMO on the newly launched Topps Series 1 but we’re trying to save money over the next few months, so… 🤷♂️
Perfect timing — I guess they were waiting for the AI Summit but French startup Mistral behind the French/European AI (Mistral) just updated and upgraded their platform. Much faster and more powerful. Gonna give it a try for work and play 😊
I hate that the Substack notes feed is such a better microblogging feed, but a closed system en that is probablyy never coming to the open web

Good news for those of us using GenAI on the regular ⚡️🔌🔋
Kendrick’s set was My Super Bowl. Incredible set and performance with many clever layers! For anyone who’s curious or wanting to discover more about it, there’s (already) a Dissect podcast episode ready to go.
Following up on the previous post:
More and more, the notion of the classic American breakfast—bacon, eggs, toast, milk, coffee, and a glass of orange juice—is beginning to seem like a snapshot of a bygone era. Not only is the supply of orange juice becoming shaky, but so is that of eggs, milk, and coffee (not to mention other goods, such as chocolate and olive oil). None of this means that we’ll have to go without these foods anytime soon. But for everyday Americans, it will likely mean having less.
It’s hard not to look at this with a cynical “the writing has been on the wall, and you could have done something to prevent it but now all you can do is prepare yourselves for a different world you’ll have to adapt to because you’ve acted so unreasonably for so long as a country — and to some extent for at least 2 generations.”

Imported fruit can be costly, and its flavor varies because of differences in variety, growing conditions, and taste preferences. (European oranges skew tart because locals like their juice sour, while American varieties cater to the nation’s sweet tooth.)

Meta employees have no scruples surrounding the privacy of internal communications because, by definition, they’re the sort of people who never saw any problem with Meta’s complete lack of regard for such things. So they don’t hesitate to leak what they don’t like. Zuck gets no loyalty because he hired an entire company of people with no convictions other than “winning” or whatever it really is that Meta sees as its central tenet.
Very excited for the return of the @sixnationsrugby tonight starting with my XV de France against Wales 🏉 🇫🇷🏴 #SixNations

Great night at the Paris Basketball game against Tony Parker’s ASVEL tonight!
100 agree with this take:
The whole tech world needs more projects that aren’t trying to become billion- (let alone trillion-) dollar ideas, but are happily shooting for success as million-dollar ideas (or less!).

Been telling y’all to stay away from “zero” and “diet” soda. This shit does more harm than good:
Some of the artificial sweeteners in zero-calorie sodas (…) appear to shift the microbiome in ways that impair the body’s handling of sugar. (There has been) striking declines in microbial diversity. Some of our gut bacteria have disappeared altogether.
This man is my hero:
“The food here is different,” he said in a heavy French accent. “Bigger portions. Too much salt. Too much sugar.” He decided to enroll in a paid study at his wife’s new workplace. It was exploring why the American diet, compared with almost any other, causes people to gain weight and develop chronic diseases”
