So even *fonts* can be offensive to these people? 🙄 I mean come on...Times New Roman is what you use when you don't know any better. 🤣 www.theverge.com/news/841664/...

Based on my experiences with Seattle-area taxi drivers, I believe some of them drive taxis because they'd be 1-star Lyft drivers and dropped from the platform within a month. There's no mechanism as a customer to avoid terrible taxi drivers. One reason why ride-sharing took off. 😕 #seattletaxis

Where do you land in the topic of voice notes? I rarely use them in my personal life, but use them quite often in Slack as I find complex topics easier to cover via voice. The comments on this article are largely negative. 🤔 #voicenotes wapo.st/4irqd7r

It's never a bad idea to remember this.

As always, @profgalloway.com has a salient take on the problem of gambling, especially among young people. It seems to me it's doom spending under another name (also: crypto). www.profgalloway.com/the-next-opi...

It says a lot about how expensive iPhones are that Best Buy doesn't even show the price, they show monthly payments toward the price. 😮 (and, no, this isn't for me)

Since I work for Amazon, I have a bias, but I am using Rufus (our AI shopping tool) for the first time to help me find a product, and it's impressive. I want a desk/stand for my 3D printer. I gave it the space dimensions and told it what I wanted. #AmazonAI

A moment of levity via the Best of Craigslist: www.craigslist.org/about/best/r... 😂

Interesting to see this tech that was demoware years ago come to the market. It's a classic chicken-and-egg scenario though: without device makers integrating this hardware, it only works with clunky dongles. Seems impractical on every level. www.kickstarter.com/projects/119... #Wirelesscharging

The Melt Mouse is what Apple's Magic Mouse should have been updated to years ago. I use the Magic Trackpad so this isn't something I'd buy. But if any of you are still punishing yourself by using a Magic Mouse...this looks interesting! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mel... #Apple #MagicMouse

There are so many battery myths and things that people cling to as being true. This YouTube video dispels them all: fast charging doesn't hurt your battery. Just charge when you need to and stop worrying about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLS5... #phonecharging #charging

My life goal is to create a future for myself where I can be as chill as my dog Moka. 😌 (JJ Abrams filter added for extra chill effect)

Google's AI is simultaneously impressive (I use Gemini often) and incredibly dumb: the first search result is about Tumella, while their AI says there is no company called Tumella. 🤦‍♂ #GoogleGemini

If you are not using Shottr for macOS, you are missing out. It's fantastic as a screenshot tool; fast, beautiful, and well-designed. Oh, and free. Though if you want to support great software like this, pay the $12. 🙌 shottr.cc

After the Atari 2600, but before the SNES, there was THE INTELLIVISION! I have such fond memories of this gaming platform; my uncle had one and whenever we'd go to my grandma's house all my cousin and I would spend hours on this. atari.com/products/int... #intellivision

Wondering what people are doing with their Windows 10 computers now that the OS is end-of-life? Here's one example a friend shared with me, seen on the streets of Paris, France. 🤣 #Windows10EOL

Reason #238 why we can't have nice things: in the USA, we can't even agree that changing our clocks twice a year is dumb. There's always some politician, in this case Tom Cotton, who sabotages it. share.google/9PoU1Olh2MSq... #DaylightSavings

As a fan of DJI drones, this is a huge downer. 😔 It's ridiculous that the government can both implement a ban soon *and* not engage in a review that would allow DJI to ship products to the USA. www.theverge.com/report/80810... #DJIdrones #DJIban

As a species, humans don't think about unintended consequences very much. This is a good example of why it's important to do so: qr.ae/pC2K45 #unintendedconsequences

I was excited to finally get #HaltandCatchFire season one on Blu-ray. It's honestly *the* most underrated TV series ever and deserves much more praise than it received. It's utterly bizarre to me that @amcplus.com won't release seasons two and onward on Blu-ray. They stopped at season one. 😵‍💫

Today I started reading a PDF book on #procrastination. I got the book in 2011. So at least I'm being consistent, right? 😂

It's funny for me to see a hotel specify a WiFi device limit; 100 is basically unlimited, so why display a limit at all? 🤨 I recall when hotel WiFi was a new thing; if you were lucky you'd get one device for free and have to pay for every other device... #HotelWiFi

Does it seem like your #carinsurance has gotten much more expensive over the past decade? You're not imagining it: www.claimsjournal.com/news/nationa...

We live in a peak-streaming-era, and there's so much content we don't always notice it until it's gone. I'm a big Jensen Ackles fan from his #Supernatural days, but I didn't realize he was starring in a new series called #Countdown on Amazon Prime Video...

I got access to #Sora a few days ago and meh. 🤷‍♂ It's basically a firehose of #AIslop. It's *personalized* slop, and because we're all egotistical to varying degrees, the navel-gazing appeal of it is understandable...

What's a great way to start a day off work? Watching a wonderful documentary (free on Prime Video) about the incomparable #JonCandy: www.amazon.com/gp/video/det... "I Like Me" is worth the watch to understand why the world is a lesser place without this incredible human in it. #ILikeMe

You have to be a special kind of planet-hating person to sit in a cell phone parking lot at the airport with your engine idling the entire time. The car next to me has been idling for 25 minutes. 😲 #pollution #gascars

I find stories about demographics strangely fascinating, especially when they involve government involvement in the reproductive choices of its citizens as they have in China. Gift link: wapo.st/437RTYw

Medication advertising in the USA is hilarious sometimes...look at this ad. It has zero information about what health issue the drug is used for! This may be peak drug company hubris: "Just ask your doctor about our drug, maybe they'll find a symptom that matches?". 😂

I didn't truly understand how often some adults lost things until I joined our building Slack channel where 90%+ of the posts every week are by people who lost something, and are looking for it, or people who found something and are wondering who it belongs to. This kind of amazes me. 😮 #LostnFound

For anyone that has ever asked themselves "Why do I bother keeping the original packaging for things?", well friend, I shipped some lenses and a camera to a company to get a price quote, and in total I made an extra $49 by sending them all back in original packaging.

"Beautiful, clean coal will be essential to powering America’s reindustrialization and winning the AI race.” - U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright We are truly living in the stupidest of all the timelines. 🤦‍♂ $625 million taxpayer dollars wasted on an obsolete industry.

Did anyone else watch #Highest2Lowest on #Netflix and find it disappointing? Denzel Washington is one of the best actors alive — I will watch *anything* with him in it — but this movie was like some kind of "B" movie. Spike Lee did not bring the heat with this one. 😕

Whenever I see an article blaming generation "A" for problem "B", I am highly skeptical because society has a long history of shifting blame to certain age brackets. And yet...

This kind of street-level #EVcharging is fantastic, I hope it gets rolled out widely! Smart design, fairly simple install, and best of all it works with existing infrastructure. This is the way. electrek.co/2025/09/24/n...

If you're in the USA, no matter who you voted for in the last election, a really important question to ask yourself is this: do you want a President in office, or a King? Because this list reads like what a monarch does, not an elected representative of the people. 😲 www.axios.com/2025/09/23/t...

Wouldn't it be amazing if YouTube allowed you to set one default speed for music videos (1x) and a different default speed for other videos (1.5x). Maybe this amazing technological breakthrough will happen in my lifetime. 😏 Until then, it's a few clicks every time I switch types of videos. 😩

I came to the USA on an H-1B. While I believe I have rare skills in my area of expertise, would the corporation who sponsored me (HTC) have paid $100K for them? I doubt it. My life would have a different trajectory if I'd stayed in Canada. This will backfire badly. www.theverge.com/news/782251/...

A great post by @profgalloway.com on America’s current self-own: www.profgalloway.com/own-goal/ It’s truly staggering to watch the delusion play out: alienate US allies, drive enemies/former allies together, and ultimately pretend the world works differently than it does. Pure delusion.

Lyft in LA is quite expensive, so I'm taking a #Waymo for the first time and it's trippy. The whole experience is mostly frictionless (the directions to the pickup point were incorrect). The car drives with a reasonable blend of caution and calculated assertiveness. Feels like the future!

iOS26 on my M4 iPad Pro is interesting so far, with many things to adapt to, but one glaringly awful thing is this jagged text that appears for a second after you swipe-up to close a full screen app. It’s distracting and very odd. #iOS26

If Google announces a new #NestHubMax with a 12 (or larger) inch screen in October, this will be me. My family loves seeing photos and a bigger screen would make them all the more impactful.

Part of letting your kids grow up and go out on their own is letting them experience what life is like without their parents. And, yeah, that means having a crappy dorm missing the comforts of home. That's the entire point! Helicopter #parenting hurts kids. 😕 www.axios.com/2025/09/02/d...

If you're the kind of person who enjoys geeky tech history, this is a fascinating mini-documentary on what happened to #WindowsPhone. Expertly done and well-researched. I had a front-row seat to much of this, and I still learned a lot of interesting things. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT1r...

A must-read article (gift link) by Thomas Friedman on how a deluded President is undermining peace: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/o... Slava Ukrani! #UkraineRussiaWar

If adult Jason could tell child Jason that one of his future hobbies as a grown up would be filling outline forms for class action lawsuits because corporations treat customer data with zero care and don't understand basic security... #classactionlawsuit

Does anyone else find Android's Find My network somewhat lacking at times? I'll load the app, try to find an item, refresh five times with nothing but failures...then sometimes it will then just show me the location of the item. Not very reliable. 😕 #AndroidFindMy

This is indeed a bait-and-switch from Starlink. I spent $600 on the dish for the express purpose of having it as a no-cost-standby because Xfinity stops working more often than I'd like. And now I have to pay Starlink $60 a year to have it doing nothing (then $50 when I do really need it). 😕

In the top five "Worst feelings you can have when in a different country", near the top of the list is when an ATM takes your debit card and doesn't give it back (and you get no cash). #TravelHorror
