Been using the Brick app on my iPhone, locking almost every app so for a period my phone can only do a few, discrete things. I want something similar for my Mac. Is there way to stop my Mac from running any app other than iaWriter for a few hours?

Such a timely and important conversation with @adamconover.net @siridahl.com and Noelle Perdue — definitely a must watch!! 👏👏👏

Pluribus is so good. Desperate for another episode.

Adam Conover conversa sobre los intentos recientes de los fachas de limitar el acceso al porno con dos auténticas expertas, Siri Dahl y Noelle Perdue. En estas casi dos horas plantean ideas muy interesantes y demuestran que la meta final es la censura y el control. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjWU...

I paid attention to Mamdani's platforms, but I didn't see any of his campaign ads. Watching @adamconover.net , I see how he won. Dude proposed solving problems on the street level, the way a real New Yorker Would ( from the movies and TV shows I saw) youtu.be/v0yGTV3OsUM?...

So @adamconover.net published this video 3 months ago after @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social pasted Cuomo in the NYC Mayoral Democratic Primary. And seriously, it has done nothing but age like fine wine since. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0yG...

The life expectancy gap between American men and women is pretty significant, but data from USA Facts shows how it can be lowered. Check out USA Facts for getting trustworthy data: usafacts.org/articles/do-...

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

This is an excellent longform discussion about the impact of legislation like the Online Safety Act from @adamconover.net featuring Noelle Purdue and @siridahl.com.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Anna and I got to see @adamconover.net tonight at the Funny Bone in Des Moines. Great show and being able to meet with him afterwards was the cherry on top! All the material was different from the special on YouTube (youtu.be/ayL0EA44Q1w), too. Don’t ask about Jon Hamm, though.

So grateful for this conversation. Timely topics on age verification, freedom of speech... and why it matters, has value, and is worth defending. Thank you @adamconover.net @siridahl.com & Noelle Perdue! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjWU...

If you didn't see it yesterday: Democrat Larry Krasner, a national figurehead for reform prosecutors, won reelection as Philadelphia’s district attorney.

A year ago today, we had a really terrible election night, and because I know how people fall into despair I sat down at 11pm and wondered what I could tell you. I told you:

This person took this when they called the race

The fact that some of the companies who run the games industry are fighting so hard to stop unionization just proves how much power the workers have when they stand together. This disgusting action only delays the inevitable; solidarity will win.

I'll never forget @adamconover.net joining these folks and revealing that the data we see on the news is from courageous folks swooping right through deadly storms over and over.

Super obvious case for the left to embrace privacy (specifically from corporate and police-state surveillance) as a core tenet of its politics

I’ve been a fan of @eff.org for a long time, and I’m joining them in the fight to #TakeBackCTRL. Authoritarians are using tech to spy on us and silence our voices. Technology should enhance our lives and support democracy, not make them worse. Join the fight today: takebackctrl.org

I finally got to cross off Item No. 420 on my #BucketList: Make a professional comedian laugh. Mr. @adamconover.net has taught me so much about how the world actually works. It was a pleasure to see him live at the #Spokane Comedy Club this past weekend. Thanks #AdamConover for visiting us again.

Well this was a dream come fucking true. Got a personal tour of the headquarters of the people who made my favorite games growing up. That's me holding the prop that is the ORIGINAL MYST book, from the very first game!! Incredible. Thank you @edoublea.com and @cyan.com !!

Just added new tour dates for 2026, PLUS I’m taping my next special in San Francisco on February 21! Get tickets at: adamconover.net/tourdates

Just landed at LAX and I'm gonna try taking a bus in LA because @adamconover.net says it's possible. Maybe this city can be saved after all

Very cool vid by @adamconover.net on Sora & AI in general with a nice cheeky wee #HarlanEllison reference in there too. Lets not all be reduced to great soft jelly things, smoothly rounded with no mouth, with pulsing white holes filled by fog where our eyes used to be! 🤖🖖 youtu.be/55Z4cg5Fyu4?...

Can someone explain to me why Steely Dan is a divisive band?

Good moment to just say thank you to every journalist whose hard work makes what we do possible

Thanks @adamconover.net for including our reporting in this great video on Sora www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Z4...

A huge shoutout to comedian @adamconover.net for speaking at the #Tacoma #NoKings #rally!

We had an absolute BLAST at the Tacoma Comedy Club this evening! Adam might be famous for ruining everything, but he certainly didn't ruin our night!

Adam made me realize something: Sora is pulling a reverse Uber. Uber, for all of its faults, made a taxi service that doesn't own any cars. Sora is trying to replace an app (tiktok) that doesn't spend anything to make videos with an app that does.

Sora proves the AI bubble is going to burst. Watch the full video on YouTube: youtu.be/55Z4cg5Fyu4
