Oops! I must've pressed the "show two massive advertisements from Apple" key by bumping the unconfigurable media key on my Apple keyboard.

There are so many good reasons to criticize some things that it seems to really get my goat when people use bad reasons. We're going in the same direction but all the same they're making it hard to steer.

1/ Update on what we know about the evolving hantavirus situation, strap in. A Swiss man linked to the ship has now tested positive after developing symptoms after disembarking. He received an exposure alert, sought care, and tested positive. This means there are 3 deaths and 5 suspected.

Whenever there is discourse about The Last Jedi, I walk away thinking that people who hated it saw this shot and their brains just glitched so bad they refused to process or think about a single other thing that happened in the movie, ever.

Previous best Wordle streak was like 65. Crazy half year run. Lost yesterday to RISER.

The nascent HTML-in-Canvas API is exciting to me not because of flashy effects, but because it extends the semantics that the DOM can (tractably) represent — as a tiny example, it's possible to show an element in multiple places, cheaply, under arbitrary transforms. folkjs.org/demos/html-i...

Knowing how computers work is such an exploit in life. "This paid stream event can only be streamed for a few days and cannot be downloaded." Oh honey.

If you ever need hope for the future, I find it in medical science. We are finally reaping the benefits of sequencing the human genome. We created mRNA vaccines, a wholly new production and delivery model. We have gene editing treatments. We have GLP-1 agonists treating obesity and diabetes.

it is not judicial activism when it is going after what scalia called a “racial entitlement.” you know, voting rights.

I think an upcoming #FFXIV fan fest for Evercold will show a redesigned "Evolved mode" UI that looks a lot simpler and a lot closer to games like Genshin Impact to try to draw in that crowd, and that redesigned character screen mockup was them testing a version of it on the audience.

honestly the only Millennial / Gen Z dividing point that matters to me is this: do you remember how things were pre-9/11? and, crucially, how everyone lost their minds on and after 9/11? If so, you're a millennial or older.

It's very funny that for Vision Pro, an insanely expensive uncomfortable device notoriously light on content and use cases, Apple was banking on a minor hardware refresh to save it, and was surprised it didn't. Comical levels of being out of touch on your product. www.macrumors.com/2026/04/29/a...

As soon as agents started to become a thing, it became inevitable that the cost would hockey-stick. You can casually burn through hundreds of dollars of tokens an hour. Probably thousands. And while the output works, a mid-level engineer can build that just fine. fortune.com/2026/04/28/n...

Look at my cats!! They are adorable!!

The thing that has happened with every war in the Middle East, that was eminently foreseeable, that has clearly been happening already for a month, and that is obviously still happening now? Yeah, *looks thoughtfully into the middle distance* I’m concerned about that “scenario.”

That Bondi Blue iMac is calling to me... 🤤

I'm in Windurst, where is everyone? #ffxiv #ffxi

soooo many people hating on glp-1s very transparently just want to be able to weight as some sort of moral judgment you're supposed to have to suffer for a body you love rather than just giving the tools to pick the body you want

I have been falling down the cyberdeck rabbit hole over the last couple days and fighting the urge to open up CAD and make something I will realistically not finish

My polite and effective way of saying this is this screenshot and a heavy handed but gentle stare at…quite a few of you.

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

Folks do realize that data centers existed before AI, right? You’re using one right now. I genuinely think Musk’s monstrosity in Memphis has made people assume they’re all like that.

Initial thoughts on FFXIV Evercold: - Core systems shakeup was desperately needed, please do more - More midcore content, 1000% needed - Move to weekly model is great, recognizes the core audience after 15 years is aging - Didn't care for icy zones in HW but doesn't sound like it'll be everywhere

The best possible news is that they are shaking up core foundational systems of the game. It's gone stale. #FFXIV #FFXIVFanFest

Very nearly caught up on FFXIV MSQ, will be done just in time for Fan Fest announcements. If they'd cut Tuliyollal and just started from Alexandria thru 7.3, I think it would've been a perfect expansion story (maybe with a little bit of Krile's story in 7.4). Might be up there with Shadowbringers.

Qwen3.6 is shockingly capable on local hardware.

Must push to get Bettel the win over that fuckass clown Pomni 🙏 www.tumblr.com/sexy-people-...

Framework is always worth keeping an eye on. 👀

that is to say if bsky actually WAS vibe coded by the REAL meaning of that word, it would be down for multiple hours every other day, and would be essentially unusable for everyone all of the time

Finally.

Always fun to watch the big airplanes take off and then tuck their little feet in 🥹

I am still shocked at how well Pragmata mixes a shooter with real-time puzzle solving and resource management. It's such a weird concept to try to describe but it works really well. Such a novel concept but it almost always works.

Parametrized CAD: Manufacturing for programmers

Pragmata time

TurboTax and H&R Block spent $7 million lobbying the Trump administration to kill Direct File. Both companies donated to Trump's 2024 campaign and inauguration committees.

Reviews and the demo for Pragmata sold me easily. How is Capcom pushing out all these bangers and can the rest of the industry just copy whatever they're doing please

NEW SINGLE: PhantomaOS - Advanced Computer System @aurahack.ca & i made a theme for the cocoon android frontend!! i wrote the background music, like days of the past....... when system's had cool little tunes to vibe to inspired by, you know, those! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlEh...

Since the tariffs started last year I've been trying to deep dive learn about the complexities and nuances of international geopolitics and trade and macroeconomics and… this is not a fun time to learn that.

Whoever invented the name "psyllium husk" should never name things again

If you were wondering what those bright flames were seen in this infrared view - those are RCS puffs to bring the capsule in an optimal landing orientation to reduce impact loading during splashdown #Artemis
