  • A little tangential since it’s not about RFKJr himself, but Sean O’Mara, the doctor giving dietary advice to the Trump cabinet had this to say, as reported in the NYT:

    “When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper,” he claimed. “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and “nearly orgasmic.” … “I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” he said, “and nobody would know.”

    Trump and/or his closest allies are taking advice from a doctor who doesn’t wipe his ass. And he’s proud of it.





  • It really is all about trust. Of all the digital storefronts, Sony is the only major one I can think of that has actually reached into people’s libraries and pulled things out[1]. So far it seems to be limited to movies and TV shows, so it’s not a perfect 1:1, but they are the worst company to trust on this.

    Buying from any digital store with DRM is a risk. Some have failed completely, but the big three of Sony, Valve, and MS are unlikely to go under any time soon. By establishing a precedent of tying your access to their behind-the-scenes licensing agreements, Sony’s model is more risky for consumers than the others.

    1. Ok, Amazon/Kindle was actually maybe the first. I haven’t heard of that happening for a long time, and obtaining another copy of a book is trivially easy, but they get a dishonorable mention.

    Other examples are welcome, I’m always willing to put another company on the naughty list.
