SF trifecta today: blimp, ferry, bridge. And moon!

I like to use different words sometimes. Sorry, AI

THERE’S A BOMB IN MY CAR

Writing Is thinking. (in the next post in the thread he acknowledges how impossible it is nor a newspaper to make money, and I guess they gotta experiment. But writing is thinking)

AWS outage messing with Connections? Hell to pay

This isn't the thing, but Lee Greenwood is 82. I'm sure his stage show circa 2026 is dynamic.

Finally! Thank you Mr President

Just had my first AI support experience that was actually delightful. Credit where credit is due - 👏 to @notion.com. Appropriate, detailed, fast.

Wow! File this in the list of things I didn’t think he’d try to break. Bad idea indeed.

any body want to help me plan sneaking around and raising all the flags back up to full mast

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

I’d like to think I’d make good trouble like the guy that filmed this but this is some scary shit

Is this just me? My baseline experience with using LLMs for "productivity" is that while I'm waiting for it to give back its mediocre first answer, I figure out a fast way to do the task manually. Useful, actually. But not what's on the tin.

Nothing to see here I guess!

I've entered my era of vibe spreadsheeting. My sheets are now full of formulas like this that I suppose I could maybe debug if I really wanted to

Peter Thiel's villain origin story is a 1999 party with cryogenics. I promise you this weirder and worse than you think: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/o...

President Trump ACED it

Andor was, uh, timely

This a lazy and cruel way to run a government. It’s also exactly what it feels like every time I use AI for a complex workflow at my comparatively trivial job. Really easy to get a result that seems good at first. Really hard to get a good result.

Mom, what does schadenfreude mean?

Maybe I should ask people this just like ChatGPT is asking me

This is a legit incredible idea

Good luck to @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social parodying this. They could just play the tape

I bet this list is the output of an LLM that these careless assholes didn't even think to check properly. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Absolute 100% required reading in re Big Balls and the Federal payments systems and [waves hands around] all this paulkrugman.substack.com/p/musk-in-yo...

Do we get to vote on this?

Why were all these Thiel Fellow kids so immediately available to go fuck up the government? Doesn't speak well for whatever value they were presumably creating in the private sector.

airport vibes that best represent their U.S. cities: 3. LAX — logistical nightmare, unsettlingly high % of very attractive people 2. LaGuardia — it looks nice now, which makes locals nostalgic for when it sucked 1. Jackson (WY) — they hand out champagne and bear spray in the terminal

Oh this is just *delightful*: for the opening of his documentary on the history of music on SNL, Questlove produced “a high-speed, six-minute DJ mix of SNL music highlights”. So good you’ll want to watch it way more than just once. [kottke.org]
