This has got to be one of Gavin Newsom's best...

FWIW, I've found my subscription this past yearish to be 100% worth it, even as an OG follower of the site. @theverge.com staff have put out some phenomenal work.

Bulking some English muffin dough to start my 5-day weekend.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

A comparison to our position after 12 games last season

My favorite is going to a conference as a vendor and then getting signed up for other vendors' nurture campaigns. It tells me who doesn't know what they're doing with marketing.

Some great charts on #AI from the Wall Street Journal. t.ly/xvvbw "AI products would have to create an additional $650 billion a year, indefinitely, to give investors a reasonable 10% annual return. That’s more than 150% of Apple’s yearly revenue"

Is there like a Lego cafe where I can go build the new USS Enterprise set but not have to buy it for myself? Bc I really want to build it… but I don’t want to have to store it someplace.

I don't need to use chatGPT because as a cis white man, I already say things with 100% confidence and 60% accuracy

Why did I, an AI critic, leave my 13-year-old agency to join a tech company with AI products? That's what @mallorywillsea.bsky.social asked me. And here is what I said. #HigherEd #HEMarCom www.enrollify.org/episodes/epi...

Having recently gone from being an entrepreneur for 13 years to working for a mid-sized global tech company I’ve been keenly aware of how unmotivated I am to do anything after the day job. Personal, societal, whatever. The system really is designed to keep us sedated when not generating capital.

This will definitely help improve Americans’ declining trust of institutions of higher education.

Sometimes I dislike a product’s visual design so much I want to offer to fix it for free. But I don’t.

OH: When I don’t have my glasses on, I can’t see as well. You don’t get it. It’s harder to see when I’m not wearing them.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Tired of monoliths.

Aw. Someone ordered a kay-suh-DILL-uh. Sigh.

“Double shot of fireball” is not a phrase I want to hear.

TFW the furniture you’ve been waiting for since 7:30am doesn’t show up.

Wireless companies in the US are horrible. Verizon has let their platform go to crap while T-Mobile has actively ruined theirs. And AT&T gives money + airtime to hate speech.

Have you ever had two jobs with a new FT position starting and a cross-country move all in the same week?

On @futureperfectbook.club, @ronbronson.com recommends you not read Abundance because it’s pure trash.

It sucks that it wasn't more but $1.5bn is a lot considering that's basically all the revenue they made this year so far, revenue that cost them billions to make. This is meaningful

BREAKING: Anthropic has agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to authors in class action lawsuit for pirating their works www.wired.com/story/anthro...

Stoked to listen to this one

The OpenAI employee share sale at the BS $500bn number is now up to $10.3 billion. This is a cashout. This is the thing you do when you do not see a future for the company. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/03/o...

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can spread the word?

I’m not saying this ref is bought and paid for. But I’m not not saying it either…

Watch out for hop ons.

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME? NVIDIA barely beat earnings estimates, and it seems part of the reason they beat them was the value of their god damn CoreWeave shares?

Yeah man that's not the headline you wanna read, and even more so not the photo you want them using of you when growth is decelerating. It's really bad when they have a shot of you where it looks like you just read the headline archive.ph/2025.08.27-2...

Maybe big companies that are evolving their visual identity should just... do it? Announcing the change to the world invites criticism and backlash. Just implement it and no one will even notice until it's too late and before you've had a chance to waste millions of dollars.
