Say what you want about Twitter (X) these days but man they got everything! You can generate CSAM *and* read Reid Hoffman’s brilliant essay on AI in one visit!

I'm sorry, the X owned by xAI? The one that trained its entire platform on other people's property? That one? I'm sorry, I don't think they make violins that tiny, but I'll have a look.

I could not possibly, more emphatically, agree with @lopatto.bsky.social here.

May 2026 be the year we finally, at long last, stop putting "x" between two brands instead of the appropriate choices of "+" or "&".

I wish @theverge.com had a CES coverage feed/option that excluded products that had no price or ship date.

Really wish @panic.com would update Nova but maybe I'm one of the few people still grossed out by VS Code? It's just such a nice, clean, solid editor, I can't quit it! Though I would love to see some native Claude type integration like Zed got.

It’s fine guys he has identified a giraffe three times let him cook

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

MTG "broke" with maga for the same reason a bank robber leaves the bank.

did a fire write this

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

Well it's that time of year once again for the One True Christmas Album!

I can’t believe a video of this performance actually exists. Amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdDZ...

VINCE GUARALDI SAYS FUCK YOUR ROOT NOTES

Here in Delaware we have a statue of Thomas Garrett, a white man found guilty of obstructing the recapture of fugitives from slavery – ordered to pay damages to the point of ruin for it. We don't, to my knowledge, have any statues celebrating the judges or jury members who found him guilty.

Tried this offering from Oliver's (Olympia Coffee) today and man, it's impressive. cuppin.com/coffees/94-p...

In honor of my Apple Music summary, I'm going to play almost exclusively Jazz on Saturday Night at Radio Room. Probably not four solid hours of Eddie Harris and Ramsey Lewis, but you never know.

One of the best ways to get used to working with a body typeface is to use Stylebot in Chrome to make it the global font in a tool you use every day, like Basecamp in my case. You learn a lot.

Weird that people keep forking VS Code to make "AI apps" but no one has forked it to just let me change the sidebar fonts ffs.

If you have Apple Music, check out "The Crate (Christmas Edition", it's really good... If you have Spotify, on the other hand, maybe reconsider your life choices. :)

Rubio Orders State Department Braille Signage Switch To ‘Times New Roman’

Being notified about Disney+ raising their rates on the same day it’s revealed they’re investing a BILLION DOLLARS in OpenAI? Just brilliant. Chef’s kiss.

Why do none of the AI apps on my phone have CarPlay functionality? This seems like a crazy oversight. It seems like it would be really easy to add the ability to have a conversation with ChatGPT while you’re driving. A no-brainer.

And the award for Djmbest Expression of 2025 goes to… “Let me double-click on that.” (In reference to further exploring a concept.)

Just googled the word consequences to make sure it’s still a thing

"Boy, that horrible guy l voted to confirm without even questioning it really turned out to be horrible, huh?" - Dem Senators

Excited to see Young Gun Silver Fox tomorrow night in PDX. They are so unselfconsciously "yacht rock" that their latest album literally has the infamous "Doobie Bounce" prominently in the second track. Love it.

“Straight/dumb quotation marks. Some default Instagram typeface. That period just hanging there, outside the closing quote. This is the post from the man who led Apple’s software design for a decade.” @gruber.foo just nails it. Good riddance Mr. Dye.

Evidently, I listen to a lot of jazz. Like a lot.

Today’s Apple in a nutshell.

This Heart coffee tastes like a Jolly Rancher! cuppin.com/coffees/89-e...

This is stunning -- an absolute must-read: "if you measured income inadequacy today the way [it was] measured it in 1963, the threshold for a family of four wouldn’t be $31,200. It would be somewhere between $130,000 and $150,000.

Trump Imposes 100% Tax On Movies Where Slaves Escape

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

Favorite part of Anthology 4 is Paul specifically asking their roadie to bring them some "cannabis resin." Then George (I think) joking about appearing in court the next day.

New enshittification just dropped

The real crime with AI is making people think proper use of em dashes and curly quotes is bad.

Nova (and probably Transmit too) could really use a macOS 26 update @panic.com pretty please. It's hard to keep it in my dock when it's the only app that refuses to go glassy!

I kind of miss when new code editors were actually new native code editors and not just another rebranded VS code release with different plug-ins.

at first I was like *1st sax solo from Urgent ('81, Foreigner)* then I realized I needed to be *2nd sax solo from Urgent ('81, Foreigner)*

Ads on my seeing stone now. What exactly am I paying the wizards guild 8 shillings a month for?

all politicians are inauthentic but damn if JD isn't uniquely "3AM infomercial co-host" inauthentic. just the greasiest wettest "wait, Sean, but it must be so hard to clean! and I'm a busy mom of three" transparent sleezeball huckster shit of all time. the fumbling tupperware in black & white dunce.

It occurs to me that I don't usually post during prime time here in the states. Hi. I'm thejazztome.info and I have well over a million words about jazz history a few clicks away. 600+ albums of liner notes, reviews, and context. All for free! #jazzsky #musicsky

As an Apple TV subscriber, I’m rather stressed that I feel obligated to give a shit about car racing and soccer next year, but I wanna get my moneys worth

hear me out, maybe it’s time to stop making men the president for awhile

This should cheer you up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=evEb...

Should you wish to get out this Saturday, you'll find me at Radio Room, playing some fantastic tunes on old-school records. #portland

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not. They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today. They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.
