I don't know if Dan, the amazing Apple accessibility engineer who helped me today, or anyone who knows him, will see this. But hopefully he does: I got iOS 27 beta 1 installed and it fixes the VoiceOver focus issue I was seeing. Incredible! Thanks again for all your help today. #wwdc26 #wwdc

It’s a weird time to be any kind of software developer. Thrilled to get to reconnect with old friends and talk about it at this year’s #wwdc

Drop off ballots at election locations or boxes, do not drop in the mail due to recent usps postmarking changes

thanks to @adafruit.com I finally swapped out the broken jack on this guitar. sounds great!

whatever religion this is, i’m joining

From The Tech back in December: “According to Institute spokesperson Kimberly Allen, MIT’s budget shortfall is estimated to be $300 million a year, mostly due to an increased tax on investment returns and national cuts to scientific research.” thetech.com/2025/12/04/m...

looking forward to this one

read another think piece about how all the major twitter clones are all failing and therefore text is dead so i’m pretty sure it’s 2016

BOO listening to BBC Americast repeating the untrue talking point that San Francisco is riddled with crime

<burp>

while working yesterday afternoon i turned on the Artemis II livestream. It’s amazing that the world was able to watch live video from the spacecraft as it returned to Earth. Stunning images!

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

This video by @hankgreen.bsky.social talking about some of the photos taken during the Artemis II mission is great www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaXR...

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social captures the moment

après Claude, le déluge me and @ering.bsky.social on the code explosion that AI tools brought to the programming world, ramped up exponentially in just the past six months www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/t...

now THAT’S how a major publication should write a lede www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Impeachment now.

Just learned that I won the #wwdc lottery! Being a developer is weird these days for everyone and I’m really looking forward to connecting with other iOS folks in person in Cupertino. Of you’re going, let me know

It should not be controversial that there is no place in any country for masked thug or those who use government not for the people but to enrich themselves

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

SF's night markets are really great. Tonight's in the Castro is a raucous street party, perfect for the hot weather. Picked up some turkish delight from a local shop while I was nearby

the mayor has been focusing entirely on positive comms while quietly gutting programs and proposing ballot measures to consolidate more power. But this story about his security assaulting a guy on the street seems to have broken through

Breaking News: The Justice Dept. tentatively settled an antitrust lawsuit with Live Nation, Ticketmaster’s owner. The agreement still requires a judge’s approval and it would avoid a breakup of the concert giant.

I asked Claude to generate a book jacket blurb for a novel inspired by Heated Rivalry and the Lumen database, and, umm…

got a wrong number today and the woman just wanted to ask if i’d seen the news and if i also thought it was horrible that the US has declared war without authorization from congress

who wants to start posting old Get Your War On strips for a new generation?

gross

Same

Best point in this piece: seniors are clearly harmed by internet scams, and yet we largely do nothing. Why not prioritize ending those?

BREAKING: The San Francisco teacher's strike is over. The 2 sides reached a deal early Friday morning. Educators won fully funded family healthcare, 5% raises, some special education caseload reductions & more. Students will be back in class next week. missionlocal.org/2026/02/sf-t...

I'm a big fan of tabletop RPGs: reading them, playing them, and running them for friends. I thought this breakdown of the industry, based on Hasbro's reported earnings, was really interesting. (Also: $1.7B in revenue for M:tG?! Absolutely wild) cannibalhalflinggaming.com/2026/02/11/f...

v1.116 is rolling out now! For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

This thread wins the internet tonight. Really. You need to read it, whether or not you watched the halftime show. Though it will make more sense for those who've seen it, so go watch it, then read this.

Five minutes apart, thx @karlthefog.bsky.social

Tonight I made a general public comment on behalf of @lwvsf.bsky.social about working groups, which are very important to the Collaborative Reform Initiatives to address bias, increase transparency & accountability, & implement community policing best practices.

I can officially confirm that the snow in NC is roughly one (1) corgi deep

one of the best bluesky labelers is the one that flags accounts that post more than 50 times a day

I love that there is a capybara bath contest www.tokyoweekender.com/japan-life/n...

You know what we don’t do enough of? Delete apps from your phone. Find five that send you the most annoying notifications and just delete them

Highly recommend people check out his entire music video collection (and Spike Jonze's and others') on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/@dir...

2026 is the year Bluesky and the Atmosphere really come alive here's what's next bsky.social/about/blog/0...

It looks like you describe how you want this guitar pedal to transform sound and it builds it for you on the fly. A really interesting use of AI. polyend.com/endless/

happy to see the name “cashtags” lives on (what we called them at ye olde twitter too)

Damn it. Farewell, Bob, thanks for all the music.

I spent New Year’s in Berlin. I found the murals on what remain of the Berlin Wall to be powerful. Messages of resistance to tyranny, hope, and freedom for all.

Non-consensual image creation / "deep-fake porn" has been a problem for a while that the legal system has only just begun to grapple with but part of what makes the Grok thing much worse is that it's delivered instantly & directly into replies to punish women for publicly speaking or even existing.

Worth the click:

took my acoustic guitar out of a closet, i hadn’t played it in maybe a year or so, and i think it needs a truss rod adjustment. boo…
