Javier Palomarez, thank you for your service! Believe me, I understand why you quit. I wish you hadn't, but I understand. Sometimes, with a multitude of issues going on, you don’t choose the right people. That's what happened when I chose Jeff Sessions. Big mistake! You can make a mistake in deals, and you work it out. When you're President, you make a mistake, there is nothing to work out. You know it's trouble. It could be big trouble. Trouble for lots of people, potentially. Picking Sessions was my biggest mistake. I had no idea he would recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job, and I would have picked somebody else. And I had no idea he would cancel DACA. He did it behind my back. And he laughed about it. He thinks it's funny. It's not funny. Believe me, it's a big problem. For our fine young people. Our wonderful, wonderful dreamers. Our young illegals, thousands of people. And maybe a problem for our economy. Which Congress can fix. Which I'm counting on Congress to fix. Believe me, I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents. I'd love to fire Jeff Sessions, but my hands are tied. My hands are too big. And if I fired Sessions, it could blow up in my face. Because of the Russia thing. Javier, you did a terrific, terrific job at the National Diversity Coalition for Trump. I never forget my minority voters. Without the minority vote, I wouldn't have been elected. I never, never forget that. And I'll never forget your service. Good job!

Are you tired of typing things into your phone using a touchpad? Talking to the phone to write a text like some boomer? Swiping in words which never come out right like some preteen girl? Stuck between the freedom to charge your iphone anywhere and filing an insurance claim due to fire damage? Did your phone break when you tried to beat a small animal/insect to death?

You can still buy a blackberry. The Q10, Classic, Passport, Priv, and Keyone are all available and wonderful alternatives to anything else offered.

Here are the reasons why
1. Physical keyboard. Typing speed is faster and better. Don't have to deal with any of the shit of using a touch keyboard (although the physical keyboard does have touch functionalities for gestures on the priv).
2. You can kill literally anything with it. I threw it a fly and killed the fly, I threw it at a spider and killed a spider, I beat a bug to death against a wall and the phone still worked.
3. The interface is this fancy ass shit where you can swipe to the up-left/center/right to open preset applications
4. The hub for dealing with messages/emails is far superior than anything else that has ever existed.
5. Monthly patches to make sure everything stays working good forever
6. Passport/Classic/Q10 has a 1:1 ratio because they care about your experience.
7. You can flush it down the toilet, run over it with your truck, have it fall into snow, and drop it on concrete and there will be no problems at all. Minor scratches are character building.
8. When it does break its really easy to repair, no bs welded in battery.
9. They never break, you can have six or seven replacement phones because you want a new one and the old one still works fine.
10. BBOS is great and not android or apple.
11. Stock earbuds have these swappable heads with little loops on them and they actually stay in your ears really well.
12. Not bogged down by all the shitty apps you want but don't need (Unless on Priv or Keyone)
13. Lasted longer than Palm

You can still pick these up for pretty reasonable prices considering the quality you get out of them. If your main concern is an excellent phone that you can do email with, BB is best choice.

Looking for this article about high dynamic range:

Netflix confirms HDR compatibility with Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and LG V30

Found this article with some nice historical and technical details:

Believe the Hype: HDR Is the Real Deal

HDR seems like a bigger deal than 4K for games with moody atmospherics or stealth mechanisms, as well as certain films. I doubt it will die and recede into the background like 3D did.

Fuck you, Sebastian Gorka!

Sebastian Gorka, you're fired! You say you quit, you didn't quit. You quit because you were fired. And you were fired because you're a bigot. You hate Jews, you hate Muslims. Disgraceful! You're a disgrace to your race. And to the Nazi movement. You're not a Nazi, you're a fake Nazi. Wearing your father's pin doesn't make you a Nazi. No matter how much you wish it did. No color, no religion, no nationality should come between us, we are all children of God. Mother Teresa said that, and it's my watchword. Which I've always, always lived by. There's no room for bigotry in my administration. Stay away from me. And from my daughters. #ProTrump45

Daniel Kammen, you are a schlemiel, a shmuck, a schmoe, and a #TOTALLOSER! But I have to say, you were smart to quit. That was a smart move. Because I would have loved to fire you. I promised my hard-working coal miners I'd bring back their jobs. In Youngstown, Ohio. In Detroit, Michigan. And in Pittsburgh, Pa. And getting out of the Paris agreement, which we all know is farcical, is a big part of that. I'm keeping my promises. And neither you, nor anyone else, will stand in my way. Screw Paris, screw your VERY CHILDISH hidden messages, and above all screw you. With a rusty pitchfork. Never darken my door again, you're dead to me. #JOBS
