It's Baby Safety Month.

Looking for a laptop backpack. I tried the Wirecutter rec (the Troubador) and *really* don't like it (doesn't hold a water bottle, doesn't hold its shape, interior compartments don't organize/separate items well). Who has a laptop backpack they love? (sharing my must-haves in next post)

Thank you, Valkyries. What a first season.

Salute to the Valkyries, for making history, for selling out every home game, for overcoming a boatload of injuries, and getting the best out of every player. That’s belief. That’s culture. It’s a foundation that’s only going to get better.

Last Week Tonight returns this Sunday, by the by

been reading @sepinwall.bsky.social on the various social sites over the years. Just subscribed to his newsletter - I hate that he was let go from Rolling Stone, but am excited to send my $$ to him directly.

I have become the forgotten Twitter poster 😂😂😂 www.instagram.com/p/DOWmYxPDI7...

Note to CBS team calling the Ducks game: it’s “aww-tzen” not “oww-tzen”

scheduled covid-19 vaccine appointment online at cvs.com, and my shot from last night is already in Apple Wallet thanks to myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov. We launched that site over 4 years ago and it Just Works.

I love this (and you, @anildash.com) so much. Happy birthday! www.anildash.com/2025/09/05/f...

OMG I’m watching Amazon Prime’s broadcast of the Mystics / Mercury WNBA game, and the rear channel audio is the production room audio feed. It’s WILD

not many people know this but Benjamin Franklin is the father of AI

bought Hollow Knight Silksong today on the Switch 2. Never played the original, but I love the idea that 3 guys in Australia can bring down every gaming platform on the same day www.wired.com/story/hollow...

Timeline cleanse

sure, why not

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

the fist bump emoji is easily in my top 5 across messages, slack, etc. trying not to think too hard about the fact that Slack calls it :facepunch: and Teams calls it (oncomingfist)

Coco!

Know a college student looking for a leg up as they start their semester? Tell them to give DormWay a look: email class syllabus to [email protected] and they'll get a full analysis of the class schedule, workload, and more. More info here: syllabus.dormway.app (Full disclosure: I'm an investor)

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

“What data would someone want in hour of 9 of a power outage?” “Maybe we could tell them that almost everyone else has power?” Thanks PG&E

This thread is magnificent, top to bottom

Finding out Christopher Guest DIDN'T CALL JAMIE LEE CURTIS BACK when she saw his photo in Rolling Stone and left a message with his agent and said she wanted to go out with him. He agreed when they randomly ran into each other months later at a restaurant. Almost an ALL-TIME BAG FUMBLE

Feel compelled to share both a fantastic product experience *and* an equally great support experience. Product is CalendarBridge - www.calendarbridge.com. Ever since we got acquired, I've been managing 2 calendars - Google Workspace + Office 365.

Watching the Sparks/Storm game on the WNBA app and they just said of one player (I refuse on principle to rewind) “she wants to be a computer engineer, which means she knows how to build QR codes”

Just found @getsequel.app after reading about it online. Haven’t found anything that makes tracking my watchlist / books to read etc. Liking it so far!

This is so great

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

"Don't consume the neon blue pig flesh" seems like something you wouldn't have to say out loud, but here we are www.latimes.com/california/s...

“As God as my witness, I thought Presidents could fly.”

You: is this really you or some impersonating the BLS commissioner Me: do you want to hear my thoughts on moving seasonality in CPI You: oh it is you

Found a very @aresluna.org coded gift while shopping in Kennebunkport yesterday 😍 #shifthappens

My statement on the California governor's race and the fight ahead.

lost count of the number of times I've seen a news article or a post on social media, navigated to YouTube, and the video that I came for is already in the recommendations. Long ago I was the PM on the YT homepage. I know how hard it is to get recommendations right.

Sitting at a bar. First date’s happening at the bar counter next to me. He says “mushrooms and aliens are much closer connected than most people realize” She is not doing a lot of talking on this date so far

Making the Monkeypod Mai Tai at home - first time in probably 6-7 years. I love this drink so much. Currently soaking the roasted macadamia nuts for the orgeat. May end up being an after dinner drink. Still worth it

that was a hell of a Valkyries game!! Tough loss but man did they give themselves a shot

thank you pam bondi

An AI for sales/leadgen company sent me $.02 via PayPal as a leadgen exercise. Since PayPal gives me no way to unsubscribe from these emails, the company gets a free pass to spam me (repeatedly) via PayPal's reminder emails that so-and-so sent me $.02 so I can spend it. I hate this.

oh, this brings back such nice memories. @wilwheaton.net was an early FeedBurner user who ran into an issue. I remember freaking out when I realized I was talking to THE Wil Wheaton. And over the next several days he could not have been kinder or more gracious. A+++ would support again

several years ago we stayed at a rental house in Hawaii. This greeted us on the kitchen table. Aloha! (Also, am I the only one who thinks about the old Steven Wright joke about the light switch after seeing this?)

won't lie, this took me a few reads before I understood that I could *cancel* my reservation up to 24h ahead of time, but I won't get any money back (right?)

I’m a hardworking, taxpaying, churchgoing, grandkid-raising American citizen. And if I work all day long and want to go home, smoke a joint & just stare at the fireplace for 3 hours…that’s my civil liberty. ‪ @sarapayan.bsky.social‬ reports on my mission to end America's prohibition on marijuana:

You heard it from @mgsiegler.com: I am “special” and “unique” 😂 I am also out of invites. So he’s your guy

thanks to @mgsiegler.com's newsletter today I snagged one of his invites (1 of 5!) to the new Dia browser, and... whoa. He's right - this is the first time I can imagine maybe not using Chrome full-time?! Returning the favor, here's a link that'll work for five of you: diabrowser.com/invite/0V6R8H
