      There was a subreddit called HailCorporate for when people accidentally post ads that they made themselves. Like we hear so much advertising that we start internalizing it and end up basically thinking and talking in ads.

      Of course it kind of typically devolved into accusations of intent, but I always thought it was a neat idea. Does life imitate art or the other way around type of thing?

      Thanks for listening.

        I always thought it was for calling out guerilla marketing, but I guess there is a sort of Poe’s Law to marketing lol.

      My brain somehow didn’t grasp that I had never heard of a Homepod before, then when I saw your comment I had to think back and was like “wait a second, Siri? That’s not google or Alexa” and I had to reread to understand.

      Anyway all to say, I’m tired and not reading well but their advertising must be pretty shit if this is the first ad I’ve ever seen for it.

        I’ve got one, syncs up easily with other Apple devices but the sound isn’t great. If I hadn’t had a gift card to knock down the price it would not be worth $100, I’ve had cheaper Bluetooth speakers with better sound and hardiness.

    I didn’t realize Siri and the cats were conspiring. Yesterday I went into the living room to investigate a ruckus and found one of my cats sitting on the couch while the home pod in the window sill was playing Mumford and Sons.

    I once activated Siri, and before I could say anything my dog started barking – and Siri replied “Good boy!”
