I miss these

Okay but if anyone sees my holographic umbrella at Orinda station please rescue it for me

Yeah, I need to focus. Yeah, I need to lock in. But I think I also needed like 15 minutes to sing this stupid song

Cool cool cool

Ulta's point system is WAY better than Sephora's. I stopped buying at Sephora a few years ago. VIB isn't worth it anymore! Life is hell! Let me get some money back for that lipstick!

I know you all think I'm outdated because I still use Photoshop instead of Canva. However, I've perfected the editing routine to the point where I can do it with my eyes closed. The idea of starting over in another app is so daunting after I've been doing the same thing for over two decades.

Sorry to be that person but I get rage baiting. I do it on Threads occasionally re: Bay Area stuff and it really gets engagement 😩

Many of these cities are in the Bay Area! Yes! Including your little suburb!

Sometimes I go for it in the @androidfaithful.com newsletter. This week, I explore how Fitbit's personal health coach is more validating than I am to myself, and why even kind chatbots are not a replacement for a sense of self. www.androidfaithful.com/fitbits-gemi...

The right way to cover Nancy Pelosi lol

Hast du vielleicht ein'n Euro für mich?

Did Men With No Rizz Ruin the Workplace?

This is what I get for setting up my phone to scrobble whatever it hears

This is not meant to sound condescending. I feel bad that Gen Z and after won't know the world without the internet. In their music, I can hear them yearning for a semblance of what life was like before it was constantly connected.

I also very much encourage you to *click* on articles, not just share them. Higher ups can sometimes make reckless decisions on this based off of clicks.

"wahhhhh I'm dying please save me by granting the same things I preached should be denied to other people goo goo gah gah i'm racist"

If you're interested in learning about why ChatGPT seems to want to date you, the way that AI might actually be our doom (spoiler: it's not the robot wars), and why you shouldn't put glue on your pizza, you might enjoy watching an information science professor do standup comedy. youtu.be/4XdJ2xiPies

This arrived yesterday from @ericmigi.com and company. I wanted it just to have it in my possession, but now I'm earnestly trying to figure out how this will fit into my everyday life.

I am listening to it right now. It ends strongly. But the middle part, where he mixes the One Battle After Another soundtrack into Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers, isn't as epic as I expected. More could have been done there.

Fitbit's AI-powered personal health coach has officially entered public preview. But don't expect fully-baked features! We'll have more to say on the show this week.

The newsletter this week went a little hard because I am super sad Google is shutting down Women Techmakers. www.androidfaithful.com/i-wont-forge...

Guys, GUYS. Gemini just said that I sound "emotionally grounded." That's it!!! I'm healed!!!

This really sucks. Another glaring reminder of how much Silicon Valley has regressed in just 10 years. www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/t...

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.

I miss Fry's. Sometimes, after work, I want to look at rows of USB cables and try out new laptops. And there is nowhere to do that anymore. (Don't talk to me about Micro Center, I live over an hour away from the nearest one.)

Yes, but I still prefer my way, which is to scour the thrift stores near the Bay Area's richest suburbs for the fast fashion I don't want to pay full price for.

Who wants to roam Chinatown on a weekday afternoon with me?

I HATE THESE DOORS!!!!!!

I'm okay. Everything is fine. And even with BART's disastrous commute this morning, I am missing the crispy fall mornings walking up the steps at North Concord BART to catch a train into the city. Even though I just did this last week. Easy to romanticize when you don't rely on the commute, eh?

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

"I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle," says Roger Davis, a Cybertruck owner. Davis also uses the Grok feature in the car: "Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist." www.wired.com/story/owning...

So glad I did my SF errands yesterday and not today. I'm seeing lots of complaining about the traffic/disruption from Dreamforce.

Getting into bed where I will spend more time on phone

I had such a good day on transit. BART to the N Judah to the 22 Fillmore to the 38 Geary to get downtown and back on BART home. 🤘

I just listened to these two dermatologists make fun of the skin on their clients in a random cafe in SF. And then complain about millennials.

I just bought one. Modding my Paradise as soon as my replacement shells get here.

I was invited to tour the fab where Intel's making chips using its new 18A process. We weren't allowed to bring any electronics in or film, but I sat down with @adampatrickmurray.bsky.social and @markhachman.bsky.social to brain dump on everything we saw the moment we got back to the hotel.

I'm on a mission to blow out all the speakers in both cars

These garbage sequels

One thing about me is that I love burnt popcorn

if you work for a publication that does this and have any idea how much $$$ your outlet makes from affiliate sale commissions on prime day, DM or signal me: jason.404 also interested if you are a journalist who is asked to do these deal roundups as part of your job

Nothing more religious than Trader Joe's on a Sunday.
