In one case, my homie from East Oakland who works as a public educator had his windows bipped — and the culprit didn’t even take his new Jordans from the vehicle’s exposed trunk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m tired of it. Seeing shattered glass on the street where a helpless car was parked the night before. Observing a vehicle on the freeway with a flapping piece of plastic covering the gap where a window once happily existed.

According to the online inflation calculator, that means tickets today for similarly big shows should cost about $75. Instead, we’ve got Bruce Springsteen tickets over here going for $5,000 and Taylor Swift tickets going for $20,000. With a part-time job and pocket money I used to be able to see the greatest pop stars of the day, but now a night out would put me in credit card debt.

Scanned a QR code while inside the parking garage in order to download an app onto my phone — an app whose sole purpose is to allow people to park at this one shopping plaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2.

Entered my cell phone number so that the app could text me a one-time password since I had of course long ago forgotten the one I’d originally picked. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Finally logged onto the app so that I could enter my parking spot, license plate and credit card number — all in a desperate scramble while holding up the line to enter the movie theater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Found out that in order to receive the discounted parking rate I had to scan yet another QR code that had now popped up on my phone, using a special QR scanner at some undisclosed location. Sent my child to circle the movie theater looking for said scanner (while I waited in line to buy popcorn).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Finally scanned the code. Received a $2 discount on my parking fee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look, I get it: QR codes are one of the new realities of these pandemic times, and I’m not even usually that much of a hater. But it does take a special kind of arrogance to install a (completely unnecessary) QR parking system so confusing and convoluted that it requires four different signs explaining it, all located within a few feet of each other. At least in this case, the codes aren’t taking away all of the human jobs: During a separate visit, so many would-be shoppers were bewildered by the new parking setup that the mall had posted an employee in the garage to field everyone’s questions and complaints. \u003cem>—Luke Tsai\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-800x460.png\" alt=\"Three women in colorful, stylist outfits stand together in a line, one shocked, one smiling, one distracted.\" width=\"800\" height=\"460\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13908547\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-800x460.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-1020x587.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-160x92.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-768x442.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-1536x884.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-2048x1178.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-1920x1105.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Everything About ‘And Just Like That…’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It was like watching a ten-episode satire about a group of wealthy white idiots who don’t understand Gen Z, POC, or anything LGBTQ+.

When Hinge introduced the voice prompt feature in October, it was an exciting time. Suddenly, you could hear someone answer a question, like a real-life conversation!

Worst of all (or best) are the men who try to deepen their voices to a slow, sexy drawl but end up unintelligibly croaking. Of course, the best-worst ones are often shared amongst friends, leading to late-night sessions where we recount the terrible and hilarious things we’ve heard and then laugh until our sides ache. The voice prompts can be awful, but I hope they never go away — they’re quite vulnerable, really. They reveal how someone hopes to be perceived in the world.

Those giant computer screens! Those stupid pop-out door handles! The means of exiting a Tesla is even worse: a single small button inside the car door that’s easily confused with a window opener.

I always have to get some scissors afterward and cut one side lower than the other, so I can grasp each side properly.

According to the online inflation calculator, that means tickets today for similarly big shows should cost about $75. Instead, we’ve got Bruce Springsteen tickets over here going for $5,000 and Taylor Swift tickets going for $20,000. With a part-time job and pocket money I used to be able to see the greatest pop stars of the day, but now a night out would put me in credit card debt.

Scanned a QR code while inside the parking garage in order to download an app onto my phone — an app whose sole purpose is to allow people to park at this one shopping plaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Created an account on said app, setting a unique eight-character alphanumeric password.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Learned that I already had an existing account on the app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Entered my cell phone number so that the app could text me a one-time password since I had of course long ago forgotten the one I’d originally picked. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Finally logged onto the app so that I could enter my parking spot, license plate and credit card number — all in a desperate scramble while holding up the line to enter the movie theater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Found out that in order to receive the discounted parking rate I had to scan yet another QR code that had now popped up on my phone, using a special QR scanner at some undisclosed location. Sent my child to circle the movie theater looking for said scanner (while I waited in line to buy popcorn).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Finally scanned the code. Received a $2 discount on my parking fee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look, I get it: QR codes are one of the new realities of these pandemic times, and I’m not even usually that much of a hater. But it does take a special kind of arrogance to install a (completely unnecessary) QR parking system so confusing and convoluted that it requires four different signs explaining it, all located within a few feet of each other. At least in this case, the codes aren’t taking away all of the human jobs: During a separate visit, so many would-be shoppers were bewildered by the new parking setup that the mall had posted an employee in the garage to field everyone’s questions and complaints. \u003cem>—Luke Tsai\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-800x460.png\" alt=\"Three women in colorful, stylist outfits stand together in a line, one shocked, one smiling, one distracted.\" width=\"800\" height=\"460\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13908547\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-800x460.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-1020x587.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-160x92.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-768x442.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-1536x884.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-2048x1178.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/Screen-Shot-2022-01-25-at-2.28.49-PM-1920x1105.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Everything About ‘And Just Like That…’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It was like watching a ten-episode satire about a group of wealthy white idiots who don’t understand Gen Z, POC, or anything LGBTQ+.

When Hinge introduced the voice prompt feature in October, it was an exciting time. Suddenly, you could hear someone answer a question, like a real-life conversation!

Or, in a less common scenario, their voice pulled you in. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve heard countless terrible jokes, unhinged vocalizations and just … off-putting sounds. Worst of all (or best) are the men who try to deepen their voices to a slow, sexy drawl but end up unintelligibly croaking. Of course, the best-worst ones are often shared amongst friends, leading to late-night sessions where we recount the terrible and hilarious things we’ve heard and then laugh until our sides ache. The voice prompts can be awful, but I hope they never go away — they’re quite vulnerable, really. They reveal how someone hopes to be perceived in the world.

Refreshing, tart and strong enough to knock down a bear, these margs were everything I ever wanted from an alcoholic beverage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I say “were” because midway through 2022, Zeitgeist stopped making their margaritas to order and started serving them from (*sobs*) a keg. I tried to make the best of it, as I have with all of Zeitgeist’s recent changes. But the keg margaritas are the thing that have finally put me at my limit. Overly sweet and practically alcohol-free, these new margaritas are an affront to the perfect ones Zeitgeist used to serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve been informed by one of the bartenders that this new keg margarita is “the same recipe” they’ve always served. Okay, cool, but it doesn’t taste like it. The problem with keg cocktails is that all the alcohol sinks to the bottom. The ratios get thrown off. Whatever comes out of the tap is a crapshoot and in all likelihood the crapshoot is going to taste like, well, crap. \u003cem>—RA\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/arts/13923065/the-worst-of-2022","authors":["185","11242","11813","61","11743","11387"],"categories":["arts_1","arts_2303"],"tags":["arts_2767","arts_10278","arts_3026","arts_5422","arts_3901"],"featImg":"arts_13908547","label":"source_arts_13923065"},"arts_13913720":{"type":"posts","id":"arts_13913720","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"arts","id":"13913720","score":null,"sort":[1653069601000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"elon-musks-crash-course-shows-the-tragic-cost-of-his-leadership","title":"'Elon Musk's Crash Course' Shows the Tragic Cost of His Leadership","publishDate":1653069601,"format":"standard","headTitle":"‘Elon Musk’s Crash Course’ Shows the Tragic Cost of His Leadership | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":137,"site":"arts"},"content":"\u003cp>Just as his effort to buy Twitter has led the world to focus on Elon Musk’s management style and business strategies, FX and \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> have stepped up with a documentary taking a close look at how Musk responded to crashes involving the Autopilot function in cars from his company, Tesla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those watching Musk’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/05/17/1099416770/elon-musk-says-doubt-about-spam-accounts-could-doom-twitter-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fitful attempt to buy Twitter\u003c/a>, the film also serves as a pointed comparison; showing how his penchant for bold moves and provocative statements can lead fans to see what they want in his words—regardless of whether what he says is actually possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13880859']As part of FX’s \u003cem>The New York Times Presents \u003c/em>documentary series,\u003cem> Elon Musk’s Crash Course\u003c/em> suggests that Musk oversold the cars’ self-driving capabilities, leading to public confusion over what it could actually do.

Tesla is a precocious inventor, but sees himself less as a genius creating something out of nothing than someone channeling the existing energies and invisible forces of the natural world. This awareness of his place in the universe dovetails with his vision of applying science to make life easier for millions of people—a worldview that is some distance from contemporary perceptions of Tesla as either an idealist uninterested in money, a slavish devotee of pure science or a world-class disruptor sadly exploited and discarded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla’s under-control ego contrasts with the self-promotion of Edison (a pitch-perfect Kyle MacLachlan), the arch self-regard of financier J.

But because an Iranian national describes that key event, some people (OK, Fox News viewers) will discount or dismiss the U.S.’s involvement—which even President Richard Nixon acknowledged in a taped interview many years later. Why didn’t Kopple use that clip?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Possibly because the History network, which commissioned the doc, doesn’t want to rile its audience. If so, it’s a miracle that Kopple included one hostage’s belief (admittedly without evidence) that Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign played a role in delaying the hostages’ release all the way until one minute after Reagan was sworn in. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation necessary to prove the existence of such a calculated, cynical strategy was clearly beyond the purview of this film.

Various parties feign ignorance, suggesting a cover-up that carries into the present. The cinematic solution, proposed by Murch, is to cast Ralph Fiennes to play Darbyshire on camera. (Fiennes and Murch met many moons ago on \u003cem>The English Patient\u003c/em>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s gimmicky but fun, for Fiennes is an exceedingly good actor.

Various parties feign ignorance, suggesting a cover-up that carries into the present. The cinematic solution, proposed by Murch, is to cast Ralph Fiennes to play Darbyshire on camera.
