As a tech writer, I’m constantly trying to remember “what’s the earliest iPhone, iPad, Mac, whatever that supports feature X?” “Which devices can handle Apple Intelligence?” So I built a site, now launched! glennf.com/applespecs/i... Your feedback welcome (via a form at the bottom of each page).

The low-hanging fruit is Blanche and maybe half a dozen others involved with the "fund." You campaign on putting them in prison, no one will stop you. "Intent to defraud," "two billion of your money to insurrectionists, crooks..." No one dares. That's how you get people used to the idea.

Fucking clown show.

Things are going well.

Incredible.

More people should do what I suggest.

Via @gruber.foo this post about a vibe-coded Mac app: daringfireball.net/2026/05/next... Okay, taking as a given that AI is “democratizing creativity” or whatever buzzwords, just for the sake of argument. Just because someone *can* now vibe-code an app, it still not the same. Not at all. 1/

In the decades to come, when the Trump era is behind us, it'll be hard to explain to young people that headlines like these made sense in the moment.

"You might think it counterintuitive that a movement obsessed with software would spearhead a severe decline in the design quality of software. But software brain is an obsession with software as a medium in and of itself. A means with no consideration for the end." daringfireball.net/2026/05/so...

Sixers have the Knicks right where they want them.

"The key to understanding this is that Meta runs a criminal enterprise. Most of the organized crimes Meta commits aren’t crimes against the legal code (although some are), but rather crimes against public perception and human decency." go read @gruber.foo: daringfireball.net/2026/05/crim...

"No one could stop the US raiding modern shipping, but it doesn't because it knows it benefits far more from unmolested maritime trade than any potential piracy spoils", used to be my go-to example illustrating how international law works. Will need to update with a "fucking idiot" caveat.

This is actually the perfect distillation of the right wing worldview. A predatory industry treats consumers unfairly so it must be immigrants' fault.

OK, now I'm obsessing. This is at least 28 more seconds than I wanted to spend on this image.

My take on the Cook to Ternus transition: daringfireball.net/2026/04/an...

"Joel Embiid attending the game" is a low-key sick burn from The Inquirer.

The Athletic | Tiger Woods was arrested for a DUI at 1 o'clock in the afternoon after flipping his SUV. Could he be a future candidate for Secretary of War?

I’m starting to think — hear me out — that maybe Newt Gingrich isn’t hooked up right. politicalwire.com/2026/03/16/new…

My marriage is open except for the part where my wife said she’d divorce me and then murder me if i was with another woman. Other than that, wide open.

I thought my giddiness over this would pass after a couple of days, but I'm still hootin' and hollerin' at the fact that Trump's cabinet -- a few members of which are worth like half a billion bucks or more -- are coming in to work every day wearing $145 dress shoes that don't fit.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

That Russia is helping Iran isn’t shocking. What’s shocking is that the Trump administration won’t condemn Russia. Where is the outrage? Imagine if Zelensky were helping Iran. Trump would go ballistic. But when it’s Putin the reaction is decorous silence. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Boy, I sure hope that doesn’t itch like hell, nonstop, all day and night.

You can just say things.

i'm glad apple music makes it clear i'm only dragging ONE (1) sidebar item around. imagine how confusing it would be without that red badge!! <— SARCASM

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

"Fascist" and "Nazi" weren't slurs applied to the Italians and Germans by their political or military opponents. That's what they called themselves. This madness will not end until we make the names Trump's regime calls themselves universally acknowledged slurs. daringfireball.net/2026/01/th...

This is the mainstream position! It’s just our deluded Supreme Court that thinks it must pretend to look into George Washington’s soul before saying the Second Amendment means whatever they think it should mean

On Saturday, @theverge.com's creative director @kristenradtke.bsky.social carefully watched a video of a shooting in Minneapolis, twice. Hours later, she found out that the man who was killed was her childhood best friend. www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

And now a word from measles

“The brave men and women of ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol are doing their best to carry out these executions in a safe and professional manner,” said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

Incredible headline.

Imagine going to this screening on a night like this one. The blood of an American civilian runs on a Minneapolis street. These people have no shame.
