Oddbean new post about login | logout Couldn't agree more with my colleague William's take on this. Octavia Spencer is amazing, but she was wasted here on this one joke that went on way too long. Apple's hyperfocus on environmental issues was excessive padding for an otherwise paper-thin event schedule. This should have been a message to investors. https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/09/13/apples-mother-nature-sketch-was-a-complete-dud-and-didnt-belong-in-the-iphone-15-event
@03a95182 I just viewed it as an entertaining message, since I don’t know the deets of their environmental goals progress. It’s hard to fully interpret any corporate message about environmental sustainability these days. I suppose that means I should try to better educate myself of the subject lol.
@03a95182 Too long. Too many numbers. Felt like it was trying too hard. Credit mention made my alarm bells go off. I *hope* Apple is being meaningfully better. But it’d need a pile of journos to do the investigative reporting to get the answers. That sketch was just bloody awful. The entire event should have been cut down by a third. It was the first in a long, long time tbag felt padded rather than constant dense blasts of yet more info to take in.
