Once again, the Apple Watch detects an outdoor walk 50 minutes into it. It’s an anti delighting feature. It’s just annoying. Better not do it at all if it works this badly.

Compare the real, actionable set of proposals presented here that help real people against the ideological destruction of the federal government that will have real consequences on people’s lives. So much to think about in this speech. Well worth listening to the very end.

The second half of this clip lists the multiple way Elon’s companies are benefiting from Doge cuts. Outrageous.

Beethoven was pretty good, but throw in those crazy blues runs in unexpected places and some stunningly beautiful Keith Jarret moments and wow! Amazing. Jon Batiste is a gift.

My Tesla graciously offered self driving for free for a month. No thanks. I’m not your QA department. We think testing in Prod is bad, but this is next level: you test with your life! (Disclaimer: I tried it when it offered this before and it freaked me out. It did weird things.)

After a week in Argentina my subjective impression is of a decisively different mood from a year ago. People are cautiously optimistic, with a let’s wait and see what happens attitude. Inflation is coming under control, the dollar is stable and reforms are happening.
