hello what did i miss tell me every thing

Never thought I'd see the day.

Does Apple Music shit the bed for anybody else if you open the NYT site in Safari? Music gets all stuttery and cuts out while the site is loading, and sometimes when videos are playing. It happens with Bluesky videos as well. Does anybody know what these sites are doing that could cause this?

‘I am glad that you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam.’ Frodo is himself again. ‘We are lost in ruin and downfall, and there is no escape.’ ‘Well, Master, we could at least go further from this dangerous place here, from this Crack of Doom. Now couldn’t we?’

Gollum bites off Frodo’s finger. Holding both finger and Ring aloft, he squeals, ‘My Precious!’ Stepping back, he falls with the Ring into the chasm. Fire leaps up. Sam carries Frodo out. As they watch, the shadows around the distant Barad-dûr lift, then the tower crumbles.

✍️ New post: The Shape of Friction I wrote a short blog post reply to @davatron5000.bsky.social’s recent post (👏) about generative AI, friction, and people. matthiasott.com/notes/the-sh...

People with generally poor ideas that they think are amazing no longer have the barrier of someone who actually knows what they’re talking about, telling their idea is shit. That’s the appeal for this technology IMO. It lets “idea guys” run with it.

I would bet money that the takeaway for studios won't be "we need to adapt more original sci-fi novels," but will instead be "we need to make the PHMCU."

It sounds like an mistake by air traffic control is the cause of the LaGuardia crash, but I also can't help but wonder if the fire truck was getting ahead of themselves and were already crossing the runway when they were given clearance, or if they didn't listen when they were told to stop.

Took my dog for a walk and encountered lots of local wildlife.

My large mutant son Snaxon just ordered a hamburger and chicken nuggets at La Tour d'Argent and the waiter shot him with a tranquilizer dart and sold him to the circus

Éowyn drops her helmet. ‘No living man am I! Begone, if you be not deathless! I will smite you, if you touch him.’ The Nazgûl Lord spurs his mount upon her; she cleaves its neck. He rises to face her himself. His mace smashes her shield and breaks her arm. She falls to her knees.

Hear me out: Everything would be at least a little bit better if the internet was slow again, and basic things were more annoying to do. Bring back friction.

Sam recovers enough from his grief to think through what will happen if the Ring is found on Frodo’s body. ‘The Enemy will get it. And that’s the end of all of us, of Lórien, and Rivendell, and the Shire and all.’ So—he must attempt the Quest on his own. Sam takes the One Ring.

Unexpected bit of pop culture prescience…

Why is it so cold in my house? Probably because it was 86° yesterday and I had the air conditioning turned on and forgot to switch it back to heat even though it's currently 36° and snowing like crazy.

I was going to take a screenshot of like one headline that seemed crazy, and then I realized I really needed to capture more and more to really capture the full picture of how insane and predictable everything here is. It's all just so incredibly stupid.

It just occurred to me that it’s still winter. It was 86° today.

If you asked me to draw a picture of Bill Kurtis based on his voice alone, I'd draw this picture.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Costco is the only remaining good company. Two years ago, my sister bought a mini-split unit that I was going to help install. I couldn't get to it until last weekend, and it was pretty quickly apparent that it just wouldn't work with their wall space. Today Costco is sending UPS to pick it up.

We really need to get moving on the berry initiative if we want to hit our quarterly numbers (lots of berries this quarter).

You know things are bad when even the fucking Washington Examiner is exposing massive waste by Trump and his people.

People who bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber clearly have never experienced the full spectrum of deranged opinions available in quotes of Will Stancil skeets.

My wife tried to get me to watch Shrinking but I just couldn't do it. The overly snappy dialogue is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It's like Gilmore Girls, but with therapists or something.

Someone I know is running for sheriff as a Democrat in NC, and last night, he crushed his primary opponents in a three-way race where the Democratic primary had over twice as many votes cast as the Republican. So that’s cool.

🚨 HELM’S DEEP ALERT 🚨

They're telling me - listen to this - they're telling me to not... to not, to never get involved in a land war in Asia! I don't know. That's what they say but I don't know. Should I do it? They're telling me it's one of the "classic blunders" but I might do it. Should I do it?... I'm going to do it

Today, the bad news bear got me. My contract with Disney will be ending in April instead of June. I am actively looking for a Senior UX/Product Designer with full-time opportunities in healthcare, biotech, or ed-tech. I appreciate your support and connections. Thank you.💛 conniechen.design

Nice try, but I’ve already switched to shorts and I’m not switching back until October.

Who wore it better?

It seems kind of silly to use human-shaped robots to do activities that humans constantly injure themselves doing. Why use a robot that has all the shortcomings of a human body, when we could just make something without them?

Without necessarily handing it to Anthropic, I guess this means the other AI companies are just fine with what Anthropic objected to? Concerning!

Who wore it better?

What an honor!
