The state of things: you can scroll through the entire WSJ and NYT homepages this morning and see almost nothing about the Epstein files NOR ICE. Head in the sand corruption.

What’s even more ironic is that the second and third movies are basically beat for beat in story and even with a second go we’ll all have Avanesia

I’m liking it, but I hate it.

This is a solved problem.

If Gary Larson is back that means Bill Watterson is going to come back. Light is gonna reenter the world like when Gandalf showed up with new clothes.

Image of a yellow creature and a blue creature shaking hands..the yellow one says, "OK we met. Let's never interact again" The blue one responds, "yeah". The caption at the bottom says "Mutual understanding of incompatible vibes"

Sometimes you just don't vibe with someone, ya know?

A cynical thought: in Kash Patel’s FBI, will we see ‘Hands Off’ protesters targeted under the guise of national security to suppress dissent of this administration

At this rate, we’re now only about two weeks out from an EO that we can only water crops with Brawndo

Ok, they fixed it. I guess I can stand down from dismantling the technocracy now.

An ecosystem that brought in billions didn’t bring “enough” billions. The integration of Nest/Home/Chromecast has been pretty pitiful. Some features still continue to be unusable on one or the other. And I get it, software is hard! Legacy integrations suck! But it’s been a decade!

This is a great write up, thank you for sharing it!

The Chromecast debacle is a great argument for the breakup of these tech monopolies, and exemplifies their internal enshittification. A multi-billion dollar arm of business being sunset, and, while in process of planned obsolescence, bricking 50 mil devices, not able to figure out what went wrong.

Honest question: is there a way to sponsor protesters for efforts I back? I saw a few older websites during my research for pledge a picketer, but they were very specific events. Is this a thing that exists? Do we need to build it?

Why is the sewer cap on the sidewalk? GenAI?

It was removing the lead in the paint and gas.

The biggest mystery in Silo isn’t the past - it’s the coffee. Who’s growing the beans in this 150-story tower? Someone please explain the mind-bending logistics!

I hate to get political, but I am angling to be the Head of the Strategic Cheese Reserve. In Missouri. In the caves. Make America grate again.

How to disguise your quarterback as your punter One of the best trick plays we've ever seen is one of the simplest.

Bowl season brought us one of my new favorite trick plays of all time: Bowling Green successfully dressing their quarterback in a punter costume and throwing a 40-yard touchdown

tried to buy a villa shirt this week and fanatics control the global supply. means only a handful of stores worldwide stock them, and theyve all mysteriously got the same sizes available, whether theyre in the UK or australia.

just a dogshit company

The Agency is pure gold - Fassbender leads a killer cast that absolutely devours the screen. It’s a spy thriller meets Sopranos-style therapy sessions. It’s on Paramount+…or maybe Showtime? Honestly, good luck finding it; the app’s is a CIA op itself—hidden six menus deep. Worth the mission, though.

This!!! It’s sneaky smart because if things somehow went south and Cohen declines the option, Soto would have to walk just in principle. If things are great, no brainer!

Hot take: Skeleton Crew is the best post-Lucasfilm project (so far). A perfect mix of nostalgia, world-building, and call-to-adventure. Accessible to the masses and unburdened by baggage. It’s Goonies meets Explorers meets Baron Munchausen inside Star Wars. #skeletoncrew

Teams may have won the corporate comms war over Slack, but at what cost? It’s a productivity killer. The rise of consultants making a living “fixing” Teams is proof it’s an abject failure in UX. #pdmthoughts

If I’ve learned anything, it’s that Americans rarely find contentment, regardless of their circumstances. It’s a a unique quirk of our culture, media and founding principles, and bad actors who can tap into this vein often exploit this restlessness for darker purposes.

Crazy to think the Yankees might have missed out on Soto over… a suite. 💀

Everything the light touches is our kingdom. #LFGM

the Dutch are not real. they’re a figment of my imagination

The saga took a bizarre turn, however, when the mystery buyer of Griffin’s 9 West Walton Street penthouse turned out to be none other than Pritzker himself.
