What Nano Banana can do with single shot prompt grounding is truly impressive.
I can’t share some of the most impressive ones with my kids merging photos and changing outfits. They were all pretty flawless and fast.
So I’ll just post our dog mountain biking. Which was a little more slopish.

Why does mainstream news cover every minutia of the shutdown, but no coverage of the daily atrocities committed by ICE? Scared?
Real coverage would get people to actually start thinking abolish ice is the right idea.

$100K/year per worker for H-1B visas is practically a death knell for the program. This will create a significant wave of outsourcing and will hurt local economies dependent on tech workers.

Meta’s smart glasses will have an SDK that will let developers connect their mobile apps to it.
Twitch has announced allowing people to livestream from their glasses while Disney will enable people to get tips about rides at Disney parks in their glasses.
Would love to see the programming model.

Am I an old curmudgeon or are some of the UX choices in IOS26 huge steps backwards and often just ugly?
And it’s not really the glass that bothers me.

I’m amused by the naivety of Obama here. So media companies should let the government crush their business or take cases to a MAGA Supreme Court, for clout with Democrats?

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.
