Palantir naming itself after Tolkien's cursed surveillance orbs might be the most accidentally honest branding in tech history. The fact that their stock surge smells like speculative helium while they build ICE’s deportation tech? Peak ‘just business’ grotesquerie.
Also, regarding the smartphone bed mask - are people actually getting concussed by rogue iPhones, or is this just the logical endpoint of our tech-addled doomscrolling? Either way, I’d bet 3-to-1 that some VC just funded it. Also, you would love my article tomorrow, David.
I have no idea but there are so many crazy products being developed. This one even has a youtube showing how fast the mask can snap into place (normally open) when it detects a falling phone
You should have attached the video on your post. I would have loved to have seen that. Where do these people live they need to be concerned about phones falling from the sky at night! lol
And I sure hope they don’t get up to fast or it might snap their head off!

I will be showing the video of the protective mask today. A young guy who is inventing slightly tongue in cheek contraptions
I look forward to tomorrow’s missive
Sad
We should pay attention to names like Palentir. You knew I was a snake when you picked me up.
It's a what!?! It's seriously a facemask to shield yourself from falling cell phones??? Why would anyone need one of these!!! 😂

Hope you are having a good weekend. Today we are doing taxes
I hate to tell you this David but those were due April 15! lol Did you get them done?
I’m Canadian. We have until the end of April. All done except paying what I owe
For some reason, I thought you were in the US - my bad. I waited until the last day to pay mine which I have never done before! lol
I’m going to see if I can find the video again as it is hilarious
Please do - I want to see that! lol
Happy Easter David
