Pretty wild to see @jay.bsky.team burn the good will for Bluesky in just a few days. Maybe if they had actually hired a head of comms, instead of leaving that job role open for months, somebody would give her advice on how not to communicate with users. jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i...

"If every US vehicle performed like Waymo, we’d prevent 33,000-39,000 deaths annually and save $0.9-1.25 trillion in societal costs... We’re looking at the potential elimination of traffic deaths as a leading cause of mortality." www.linkedin.com/posts/slotki...

Fantastic review by @lisairontongue.bsky.social and psyched to hear tonight's performance with the San Francisco Symphony! 🎼🎵🎻

It is definitely Tarantula season around here.

Caught Hélène Grimaud perform Gershwin with the San Francisco Symphony last night.

It's insane how corrupt things have gotten since January. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

Circle to Search on Android, together with Gemini, is insanely useful for language learning. Here on my Pixel 9 I check a definition in Duolingo with integrated Google Translate, then use a Gem to see the traditional characters and understand how this would be expressed differently in Taiwan. 🙌

There are best practices for how to promote #passkeys on your app. This blog post goes through different surfaces to remind your users about passkey benefits, their approaches and case studies. The same practices apply to the web as well. android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/09/best...

Gluten-free banana bread, best one I've done to date. I drizzled honey and brown sugar on top. It's insane how good this is.

Biked to the Mount Diablo summit and heard a trombone player practicing Mahler in the observatory. Epic.

Happy Friday everyone! It's been a long week. Take some time to pause and reflect.

🚀 Just now launched documentation for how to integrate the Gemini Live API with your Android apps: developer.android.com/ai/gemini/live Feedback welcome on the Android AI docs! 😀 #androiddev

Correct, global hypocrisy on display. Taiwan has all the characteristics of a statehood without any of Palestine’s baggage, yet the global community can turn a blind eye to deny Taiwan’s existence.

Pixel 9 Pro camera was able to capture the moon's detail last night.

You can see the triangular shadow of Mount Diablo stretching across Morgan Territory and the haze of the Central Valley. 🌄

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

"For the last time, I didn't know anything about Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilia ring, we were just best friends for over a decade and then finally had a falling out when he stole this seventeen-year-old blonde girl from me. I trust that settles it."

The sky does all the work. All I have to do is point and shoot.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne. My favorite T Pain song is his cover of War Pigs by Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. For those that don't know, T Pain is a rapper who was much maligned for popularizing autotune in modern music. People said that was because he couldn't sing. But he can sing.

Gary Karr, Roger Norrington, and now Ozzy. 😭

Never forget.

As I walk down the street passing others wearing headphones, my intrusive thought is to stop and ask them what they're listening to. I understand that baroque pipe organ music isn't everyone's cup of tea, but here's where I'm at currently. 🎧 music.youtube.com/watch?v=PGHh...

Tonight's epic mountain bike ride with the unseasonably cool July weather. 🚵🌄

The fog rolling in over the Oakland Hills and Las Trampas looked like waves crashing against the shore, and Mt. Tam resembled an island in rough seas. 🌊

Google I/O 2025 was a blast and getting to help put together the Androidify booth was really such a highlight. If you want to learn more about how the #Androidify app works behind the scenes, check out the blog post: android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/05/andr...

I know it's been said but I keep getting re-infuriated about RFK Jr doing his thing, like we had this vaccines thing *settled*, they rule and they were working and all we had to do was NOT put the worst possible person in charge of the country's public health apparatus.

We have a new episode of the ADB podcast up -- I'm chatting with Siva Velusamy and Sandhya Mohan about the new features in Gemini in Android Studio -- the new agent mode and the upgrade agent! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlh6...

Cold but beautiful #mtb ride this afternoon.

We had such fun with the #Androidify booth and the security dogs got involved 🥰 my favourite part of IO by far 🐕 #googleio #io25

Cute that YouTube Music's algorithm thinks the appropriate follow-up to my listening to the entirety of Verdi's Requiem would be the Boccherini Minuet. Yes, that minuet. Come on, I was in hellfire and brimstone a minute ago. Also: This recording is sooo good 👩‍🍳🤌😘 music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I love a nice Albert Bierstadt painting sighting in the wild. This one was seen in a stairwell at the US Capitol Building in Washington DC this afternoon.

Majestic. My whole house smells like fresh baked banana bread right now. Gluten free recipe here, although this round I went with 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup maple syrup. 🍌🍁 wp.me/pet6aj-2Q

Great day to be out mountain biking. 🚵 #mtb

The rattlesnakes are definitely out today. This one was signing himself on the trail, and I almost ran over him because it looked suspiciously like the sticks nearby. I counted maybe six to eight rattles, from a safe distance of course.

I appreciate these little daily calls to action... @cprovias.bsky.social 😂🦉
