The hard facts on augmented reality by @reckless.bsky.social and @davidpierce.xyz on the Vergecast.

This fuckin guy

“Is that… good?” is quickly becoming the third Decoder question

Are they always like this or is Trump Sports Curse real

Y’all we are throwing the baby’s first birthday party and… I think I have to buy a party speaker

For years, originalists have lectured us that they no longer look to "the Framers' intent," but to the "original public meaning" of the Constitution. Here, Kavanaugh throws all that out the window to lash the citizenship clause in his subjective guess as to what its Framers intended it to do.

Lol at Mike Johnson being like, fuck textualism and originalism

Everyone is going to say much smarter things about the insane 5-4 birthright ruling but I just think it's funny Kavanaugh wanted it so bad he decided textualism is dead

The latest episode of The Vergecast with @davidpierce.xyz and @reckless.bsky.social is excellent. 1-hour 20-minute video: youtu.be/i7oqf1Oe9kg Also available in your audio podcast player of choice. #Podcast #Tech

What a pure example of the cult of Musk Musk, responding to people (including Andrej Karpathy) complaining about how much of a cesspool the X algo is, says for the nth time that he will overhaul it (as if this time will work?) Teslarati sees this and immediately jumps to "awesome updates coming!"

So enjoyed the latest episode of Vergecast, particularly @davidpierce.xyz and @reckless.bsky.social's jovial talk of "wearable bullshit" and AR glasses "giving good demo" but little else of worth or value to humanity. www.theverge.com/podcast/9521...

Today’s Vergecast: # The **epic** story of Markdown. Markdown is a system for writing that makes it readable to both humans and computers. It’s all about the symbols. You use – to make a list, * for emphasis, ** for even... https://www.theverge.com/podcast/950082/markdown-history-gruber-vergecast

The most shadow banned post in the history of posts lol

Love love love the shirt, @davidpierce.xyz and @reckless.bsky.social #brendancarrisadummy

Trump 2.0 is entirely about tweets overcoming reality so calling a weather forecast “bullshit clickbait” perfectly tracks

The Harmony universal remote was supposed to be the only controller you ever needed. So what happened? Watch the latest episode of Version History now.

ABC / ESPN are producing Game 5 in 1080p HDR but it's in 720p on virtually every service and even OTA. ESPN app is probably the easiest way to get anything close to reasonable quality awfulannouncing.com/espn/picture...

A huge part of Decoder is looking around at things we take for granted and seeing how complicated they really are!

A few times each week I think about @reckless.bsky.social asking Workday's Head of Product about why people hate Workday and smile.

In a win for dads everywhere, my Whoop has informed me I am to simply putter around the house tomorrow after my doctor told me no lifting for a week

Apple rebuilt private cloud compute to run on Nvidia chips in Google Cloud. Big deal! www.theverge.com/news/946219/...

This is off and running! www.theverge.com/tech/946046/...

Apple is having a live on-the-record tech talk with Craig Federighi and "members of his team" in about 20 minutes. We'll post highlights on the homepage but we're also liveblogging here: www.theverge.com/tech/946046/...

As always, great interview by @reckless.bsky.social with Mustafa. Nilay pushes Mustafa on consumer products of AI not being good enough (I agree). IMO, consumers want to see something tangible (hardware). Despite being years late with seemingly no plan, #$AAPL still controls its destiny there

We're live at WWDC -- as always, the live blog will be nearly a minute ahead of the stream. www.theverge.com/tech/942572/...

This memecoin ass manipulation is a window into how so much billionaire, and near-trillionaire for Musk, wealth is all accounting and valuation tricks rather than the genius and hard work that they and their acolytes claim @reckless.bsky.social talked about this bullshit on Decoder pod

Coming back to this piece and seeing The Verge’s community and staff (including @reckless.bsky.social) in the comments defending the need for pieces like this and how healthcare, politics, and identity intersect with technology, is why I subscribe to The Verge.

Love this story but also it’s not great that basic free market competition responding to demand is so fun and surprising

Scott Pelley was ousted from CBS News in the exact manner Bari Weiss *thinks* she was ousted from NYT

Bari being offended that someone would noisily cause trouble on the way out of a legacy newsroom is so funny. That’s her move! variety.com/2026/tv/news...

this was a beautiful and deeply empathetic piece from the always-lovely Grace Byron. a heartfelt thank you to everyone at The Verge involved in getting this on the front page there too - it means a lot @reckless.bsky.social

Verge dark mode is here, nerds

Fascinating @reckless.bsky.social interview with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr* on how AI is changing music production and the music industry. To the despair of the YouTube commenters, Harvey Mason Jr is taking a thoughtful and nuanced approach to the use of AI. youtu.be/VuMpkOuhx7A?...

Reminder that Bari and Nick trading broadcast dollars for TikTok negative pennies will not work and @lopatto.bsky.social laid it out as clearly as possible -- gift link! www.theverge.com/business/793...

"Evan Spiegel's sister founded an audio erotica platform that hired the stars of Heated Rivalry and Off Campus to read smut" is an almost perfect Verge media story www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

I’d guess these will end up being Skydio drones - CEO Adam Bry is on Decoder soon and he let me fly one remotely in CA from our studio in NYC. The problem is people randomly shooting at the White House and these things won’t even be in the air by the time that’s wrapped up

I wrote about the SpaceX IPO. I'm not impressed. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Hundreds of prolific Wikipedia editors are threatening to go on strike

i love how @reckless.bsky.social is not afraid to ask the CEOs any questions lmao www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANV3...

Rivian's Wassym Bensaid on the Decoder Podcast is the clearest look yet at the VW deal. He's running the software and architecture for every future EV across VW Group, Audi to Scout. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

This was a fantastic interview both ways. @reckless.bsky.social did a great job pressing on the confusing aspects of the joint venture with VW and what customers want from phone projection, but I thought Wassym did a great job of explaining the rationale and benefits of Rivian's approach.

I do want to point out I have been asking media CEOs about Google Zero for at least three years and the industry basically did nothing to recapture their audiences or distribution

My "Today I'm Toying With" series is all about sharing the joy of gadgets. Enjoying them vicariously through me. What if you didn't have to live so vicariously? What if I gave away the exact items I called in for the show so you can toy too? That's what we're going to do. theverge.com/TITW

I doth detect just a weeeeee bit of tension between Google’s CEO and (Google subsidiary) Deep Mind’ CEO on what the future portends with “artificial general intelligence.”

Lots of deep ideas to chew on in my latest Decoder interview with Google CEO Sundar Pichai but my friends at least we all agree Google makes too many operating systems www.theverge.com/podcast/9364...

"There’s wide consensus that this technology, AGI, is... people may quibble around whether it will be three years, but the technology’s coming sooner rather than later." Read, listen, or watch @reckless.bsky.social's interview with Google CEO Sundar Pichai:
