MacOS 26 is awesome, because they apparently didn't standardise the border radius for apps to use, so you can see them peeking out behind each other even when maximised.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

So this ad revenue metric is indicative of such a fascinating and weird set of business decisions by Google to inexplicably kill of SEO-- and I honestly don't get how they think this is going to pay off for them in the long run.

Good lord. This is who Trump has as his prosecutor against Comey and James.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

You'd think there would be more interest from the US media that Trump is simply delusional - at best being fed complete fabrications by his team, at worst in serious cognitive decline and unable to recognise reality.
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Deep blue sea (1999) was the pinnacle of race relations in the US. I won't be taking further questions at this time.

Market lessons: When the option set for the tech sector is either “shall we return this gigantic pile of cash we’re perched atop of to shareholders” or “shall we latch onto the nearest passing moonshoot narrative and set fire to said cash on our shareholders’ behalf” it’s never really a contest

the thing about the Trump and Elon fight is that never before have two people so a) high profile and b) terminally online gotten into a feud like this before

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.
Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.
We tariffed BIOT, Mike.
BIOT. Diego fucking Garcia.
We tarrifed our own military base.

The spate of high functioning professionals being revealed to be consulting LLMs for How Should I Think stuff just seems to reveal how predictably those people think on their own. If you're asking a machine to think for you then you're telling on yourself in a really exciting way.
