    Episode 377: Racecar Rewinder

    “Dear Mr. Hanks, As you know, our Client owns all intellectual property rights globally in and to the concept of “your body breaking down and becoming a slow healing, creaky pile of mush after the age of 28.” Your blatant alteration and repurposing of this concept in the media constitutes unauthorized use and dilution of our Client’s prior art. We immediately demand you cease and desist all future activity related to conveying a specific date as to when aging really hits you like a ton of bricks. Or give us some of that Forest Gump money.” This week: make it a Blockbuster night. 🏎️ Links: Half Translucent Electronicsvtech Translucent PhoneUsed VHS TapesI’m building a VHS store in my basement. : VHSApple AI notification summaries exist; rarely useful, often hilarious - The VergeApple updates the MacBook Pro with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips - The VergeMegan Piphus | Behind the scenes of Sesame Street season 54 playing basketball.
