BOURDAIN: so ive had joints of mutton everywhere. exeter, wroexeter, berwick. Ive never seen a joint of mutton prepared like this MEDIEVAL SPIT-BOY: we roaste thee meat under a pafte which keeps the juices, and renders the meat moft tendere BOURDAIN: *chuckling* wow

Aaarrgggg! Nobody told me that they took away the volume control on the new AirPods!!!!! This is literally a deal breaker. Screw you, Apple!

But if I'm an American I CAN use the feature in Europe? Otherwise my dream of using this in Italy this spring just died and I guess I'll send my recently ordered AirPods back... www.techmeme.com/250911/p10#a...

RTing because I really want someone to get this burrito

Yeah. People are more aggressive than me. :)

The nerdiest but honest way to explain iPhone events in 2025: This is how Apple plans to squeeze 1% to 2% incremental growth from a smartphone market that stopped growing years ago. The company is a genius at making money from this kind of dull thinking.

There's something really funny about how Gen Z has realised that all you have to do is film yourself making shocked faces and mouthing WOOOOW to hit songs from the 70s and 80s and put it on YT and it's basically a free money transfer service from boomers

This is a ven diagram of my age.

Came back from recording a pod to see the Man U news. Unbelievable. I watched some of the first half tho, so... believable?

is it too soon to do a crystalline entity cosplay

A flecked granite kitchen island. A paper plate, even though there are plenty of real plates in the cupboard. A paper napkin. A black iron sconce. Eating at your parents’ house.

This is a good point if you were born in the 70s or early 80s

It all went to hell when we quit painting pictures of oryxes on cave walls

What the heck is going on over there? That's question #1. Question number 2 is: you know how the Metaverse was dropped like a hot potato? Folks said that would come back to bite them in terms of recruiting. But now, if THIS is true... what AI talent would go there? www.techmeme.com/250819/p19#a...

dude, your soda and your boots rock

Watching Bringing Out the Dead. Fascinating as a "light magic "version of Taxi Driver's urban noir. Scorsese encourages the comparison w/rhyming shots. More a short story than a novel (not withstanding that the source is a novel!). Love the portrait of NYC in its last hellhole moments.

Look at this! Don't know if we've ever been #1 this whole time. I'm coming for you David and Ben!

Worf is right, dying in battle would be dope as hell

@rmondello.com I'm the host of the Tech Brew Ride Home podcast (until literally today the Techmeme Ride Home Podcast). Was wondering if I could interview you for a bonus episode of the pod about the security code autofill thing on iOS. Could be like a 15 minute thing?

Bit of personal news. I have joined the team at @morningbrew.bsky.social ! The Techmeme Ride Home podcast is now the Tech Brew Ride Home podcast, beginning with today's episode!

Ok. Holy crap. On this news alone, I'm bumping the IPO meter WAY up. 225% first day pop is the very definition of dotcom bubble stuff... We get a couple more of these? www.techmeme.com/250731/p36#a...

These guys are dating! Very happy for them! I'm coining their couple name: Pamliam Anderneeson

I asked ChatGPT what will I be? Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here's what it said to me: Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera STICK YOUR HAND IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Woah. This is interesting. There has been OpenAI and everyone else... but is everyone else also getting traction in terms of revenue? www.techmeme.com/250716/p34#a...

I’ve seen tons of photos of people who look like their dogs. But what about a dog walker who only walks dogs with similar hair to theirs? Poodle hair only!

The @blankcheck.bsky.social episode for Miller's Crossing is probably be recorded right now. Whoever is guesting on that episode, you better BRING IT cause that is criminally an underrated movie. It's also my favorite of all time so I will destroy you online if you don't do it justice.

Told the kids we were going to Iceland this summer and when elder teen joked we might see Bjork, I laughed. Landed this am. Few hours later we visited a small local record shop. Someone was playing a kicking DJ set. Guess who. 😲 Here's a photo of elder teen's ear, six feet from stardom. Incredible.

This is the most radicalizing thing that I’ve read since ChatGPT came out. As an investor. Something akin to the Industrial Revolution or the computer revolution is happening RIGHT NOW. www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

@wesanderson check this shit out bicth

In The Boy In The Bubble Paul Simon uses as evidence that “these are the days of miracle and wonder” is that it’s a long distance call. But remember when you had to pay per text message?

Right. It’s like the: you can store your recipes on it from the pc era. AI is all about shaving down the marginal stuff that we’ve done in search for 25 years. And that is powerful!

Horse power may have revved up about four millennia ago.

I'm reading a history of Florida book and they have tons of data to suggest that there were times in recorded history where Hurricanes battered the shit out the place. I lived there for my first 19 years. Not a single one hit me. I feel like a Baby Boomer. Immune to history...

I literally just asked a question about this yesterday! Who does the verifying in these markets? In this day and age of no one being able to "prove" anything, how can they function? www.techmeme.com/250709/p3#a2...

This is beyond any Bond scene you've ever seen.

This might be my favourite cat meme of 2025 so far

If, during the "AI is the The Next Big Thing" scramble, Apple had said "we're only going to incorporate it further into our products once it's perfect and has unmistakable utility," they'd be in pretty much the same AI-poor position they're in today except a lot of people would respect them for it.

Is Apple a functional company right now? Asking for a friend.

This post appeared under this Techmeme headline:

So if AI summaries keep working like this: wake up; 3 meetings before you have to poop; spouse leaving you for reasons; heads falling off pets; Arsenal still hasn’t signed a striker.

it would suck so bad if you got hired as the king's food tester and then on meal #1 you're poisoned to death. really figured there'd be at least a couple months where your job is just chillin out and eatin good

Don’t ever forget that the coolest thing you can be is the dog Billy Joel played in Oliver and company
