watching Once Upon a Time for the first time and it’s a crime that Robert Carlyle never even got nominated for an Emmy for his role as Rumplestiltskin. He’s AMAZING. All his scenes in the Fairytale world are so fun.

@viticci.macstories.net perfect pronunciation of my name on Connected (I asked the Shazam question.) also glad @myke.social had the appropriate reaction to the hilariously dated screenshots in the App Store 😂

The Dynamic Plateau

One thing about using my phone caseless is I never realized how warm this phone gets 😅 especially if I’m using it while charging 🔥 can’t feel that through a case.

How I’m avoiding new iPhone FOMO on my 2 year old iPhone: -leaving my case off at home so I can finally enjoy the actual look and design of my phone (although I do like my Peak Design case) -been using iOS 26 since the beta -changed my lock/home screen wallpapers -changed the apps on my home screen

This was a great listen

Just realized how many people are going to be driving around wearing the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses and watching videos, etc. 😬

America misunderstood the meaning of "become ungovernable."

@pfrazee.com any idea why this hyperlink on my profile doesn’t work? it never loads the site when clicked. I wonder if it’s related to it being my username.

Anyone else have an issue with Fastmail putting totally normal emails into the spam folder?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

if you use the compact view on Safari, don't update to Safari 26. there's a bug that doesn't let you click on tabs (as in, you can't select the URL, close the tab, or any other tab settings.) also compact view is apparently totally gone on Tahoe (macOS 26)...

This was my first home office 10 years ago (not counting working from my dinner table) in the basement I rented in Friendship Heights after graduating American University in DC. Right behind me was my bed. There were no windows in this room. That desk cost less than $100 new and honestly it owned.

Congrats to all the newest golden paperweight recipients.

Someone signed me up for a Guns newsletter…fun.

Just putting my body through its paces.

by far my favorite widget (thanks Widgetsmith!)

i have a feeling that having dark mode on all the time on every device is actually making my eye strain worse somehow so i'm testing having it on "auto" (light during the day, dark at night) and honestly am kind of enjoying the light mode in lots of places. still getting used to be blinded at times.

i want the halloween phone

Ever since T-Mobile stopped offering their great iPhone deals (nearly free phones with 2 years of monthly payments) they've launched some new plan annually. But it just never makes sense to get off our legacy family plan...even for a free iPhone. It's more than twice the monthly cost!

4 goals. what’s a guy gotta do to get a 10.0?

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

Brutal way for Venezuela to be eliminated. 6-3 loss (so far) and Bolivia beating Brazil 😬 they could go on to the next stage if Brazil were to win.

the new iPhone 17 Pro VAPES, bro

i WILL NOT upgrade my iPhone 15 Pro Max. nope nope nope.

anybody got a count going for how many times they've said "plateau" in the iPhone event so far?

It’s hard knowing about all the current stuff that sucks. I wish I only knew about delicious types of pie

just in case you were wondering:

Florida politics rn: herd mentality > herd immunity

@themountaingoats.bsky.social has anyone ever called you a “throat goat” after you belted some particularly impressive vocals? also i shouldn’t be allowed access to my Bluesky account when I’ve had my adderall too late in the day.

feeling pretty plussed today.

Suarez can be so embarassing. He should have learned to control his temper by now.

Joke’s on me. Dibu Martinez is rumored to be in talks to move to Man United from Aston Villa. I may actually have to root for them if that happens. 💀

did my own oil change for the first time. my DIY car maintenance journey is complete haha. kind of funny i did all the more complicated stuff first (changing rotors/brake pads, rear diff. fluid change, etc.)

I’m having a lot of fun following the tragedy of Manchester United and their plight as someone who doesn’t watch Premier League but vaguely follows the news on it. Just explained it all to my wife, including the Grimsby loss and that that they barely just beat Burnley. No real reaction.

@marcoarment.bsky.social honestly the Liquid Glass touches on Overcast are looking great to me!

real graphic design is my passion work on the LA Galaxy crest stars arrangement this season

seen in Boston

just got a $15 chicken caesar wrap delivered with no caesar dressing so had to eat it dry. so that’s how my day is going.

This is exactly the kind of crap I'm talking about. Want to hire a good, professional video editor? Take applications, weed out some of the best prospects, then pay those prospects to do a test edit as a secondary interview process. I'm open to being wrong about this, but this feels icky.

Great, there goes my plan to launch a competitor to Awesome Socks Club called MS NOW (My Socks for Nerds, Outcasts, and Weirdos). Count your days @hankgreen.bsky.social

me threatening a 2 minute video to finish buffering so I could watch it all at once

Do any of you following me happen to work at Proton or know someone who does?

I’m a Truthwatcher, which kinda tracks. Basically a nerd skeptical of the rich and powerful. www.brandonsanderson.com/pages/offici...

So far 3 podcasts I listen to have played the AOL dial-up sound in their latest episode.

@caseynewton.bsky.social we were also an MSN family! Still have my MSN email address from that time. Very fond memories of MSN Messenger too.

Apple may have accidentally chosen the best new iPhone color, thanks to Taylor Swift

i don't trust employers who run a contest to hire someone. surprisingly common in creator space to run a video editing contest to find an editor. treat the hiring process like you are also applying to be their boss.

Washington, D.C. definitely has a huge crime problem. it's mostly human rights and war crimes concentrated in the Capitol and White House, though.
