Fantastic IndyCar race at Laguna today. Flawless victory by Alex Palou!

I’m really digging the coverage by @foxsports.com.web.brid.gy, after the league had been punted to cable channels on NBC Sports… been a good season so far. Next race is here in Portland!

Hosed down the compost bin today 🤢

That is not a job for those with a weak stomach.

iOS 26 Public Beta hot take: not a fan.

UI elements are larger than they should be, to the point of it making me feel like I’m playing with a kids toy. Example: why is the “Home” icon (and other favorites) in Maps so yuuge? …

Howdy @phish.com ! So we have a pair of extra tickets for the upcoming Portland show. Are there plans to open resale through Ticketmaster?

Beyond it being the "Facist Thing on Four Wheels", please, really, do not buy a Tesla for this reason - in a crash, the doors should be able to open.

Anyone want to take bets on the overlap of staff who have access to the payment system and staff who left their DB open?

@asusrog.bsky.social Please, please.. release a 50-series BTF OC’d card. My Strix 4090 lay dead on a workbench, taken out by a faulty CableMod adapter from Sept., and after seeing reports of 5090 faults (not your fault!!), IMO BTF is the way to go vs 12V-2x6. Heck I’d sign NDA and beta test! 🙏

Getting a 5090 is like finding a unicorn or giving up a kidney.. these scalper prices are unreal. $10k for a $2.4 - $3.4K card… meanwhile my 4090 is still dead, sitting on the workbench downstairs.
