I really wish that Xcode simulator and iPhone mirroring worked the same way. 😡

“If you admit the danger, you establish yourself as the one honest actor. [Therefore] your safety claims do not require external verification. You have pre-certified yourself through the performance of self-doubt. The confession is not transparency. It is inoculation against scrutiny.”

I'm really excited about the latest updates to Spotlist. This one is focused on collaboration, because everything about food is better when it's shared. open.substack.com/pub/spotlist...

Apple News is so littered with garbage ads as to be totally fucking useless. I'm done. And I pay for this shit?? Steve Jobs would be yadda, yadda, yadda... Fuck Apple News and the exec responsible for this trash.

I've been working on a little passion project called Spotlist - a way to share and find restaurants through curated lists, not ratings or algos. Got v1 out with help from a small team. Now I'm fixing bugs and adding features and I love it. If you're into food, check out spotlist.io/users/craig

There’s a reason we shamed nerds for most of human history. It is time to shame them again.

AI threatens to replace a lot of things humans and are good at, but it can't replace the food experience – a great meal with people you care about, prepared by people who care about food and know how to make it delicious. I'm long on humans + food.

Fu*k yeah! This energy is what we need!!

Pre-heating this space for when I abandon Threads… 🧵

Movie you've watched more than six times with a GIF. No Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel stuff.

This video from @hankgreen.bsky.social is a great metaphor and description of what I think has happened to the Internet, and our overall "consumption" of information, no matter how nutritious or empty the calories of information we consume are. youtu.be/9euKCrTyMEc?...

It’s easier to work and spend than it is to be horrified.

Vinyl, paperbacks, newsprint, and dial tones.

MAGA and the idiot savants of tech talk about the risk population collapse while they advocate for mass deportation. It’s almost like they are elitist, racist, eugenicist, rapist twats. But I’m sure I just don’t understand.

Fucking Airbnb. What is the difference between Guest Favorite and 🏆 Guest Favorite? Am I the only one that hates these guys?

The revolution will not be monetized.

The Weather Station last night in SF was a great show. Loved Tamara’s observation about SF: “How can a place surrounded by so much natural beauty be so focused on taking people away from reality and connection?”

It me

TFW someone you thought had their shit together tells you they see a chiropractor to treat their allergies. 😬

"Do you want me to show you the picture?"

There’s a lot of money in contaminated foods. Selling it and treating the illness it causes. It’s really a win-win.

POTUS In Repose With Ketchup

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

MAKE ELON BALD AGAIN

Which of these signs would you expect to be better at grabbing the attention of fast moving vehicles and why do you insist on buying the one on the left anyway?

Can we all just agree that Oprah has been a net negative for this country? Dr. Oz? Dr. Phil? And now Dr. Evil’s cock rocket? No. Not good.

What did paying taxes ever do for you, besides: paving your roads, keeping your food safe, educating your children, defending you against foreign enemies, funding research that saved your life, etc, etc, etc. what a scam /s

It’s insane how many one way doors there are in TurboTax where once you answer a question it can have a huge impact and there’s no way to go back or understand wtf it just did. You basically just have to start all over again. After all these years you still can’t fix this shit?

First print job from my new color printer. Captures Trump’s true essence! 👍🏼

I mean, when’s the last time we even used FDIC insurance?

“Trump is a winner, and he’ll show it by making all of us the loser.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

This is what it looks like when a petulant toddler is allowed to run a global economy. Congress can put an end to this madness.

BREAKING: 60 Minutes just exposed the lie. Over 75% of those deported to El Salvador’s mega-prison are innocent. No crimes. No charges. No justice. This is manufactured fear and state-sanctioned abuse. www.thedailybeast.com/60-minutes-c...

President Trump lives up to his promise of reversing the Biden economy QUICKLY. 🔻

The only thing more awkward than watching Elon Musk speak is watching Mike Myers pretend to be Elon Musk.

What an absolutely incredible sight in New York City today.

Nice turnout in Berkeley today. #handsoff

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Surely someone is selling prints of this portrait. I feel like I need to own it.

Don't you fucking dare, Google. No more of your April Fools' bullshit.

"Attorneys also accused the federal government of... creating warrants in the field after the arrests."

Yesterday was classic SF

4,000 lbs were lifted from my shoulders today. F-Elon, my Tesla’s gone! 🖕🏼👋🏼

The kids are coming home for the weekend which means we all have to wait on the season finale of Severance so we can watch together. NO SPOILERS

Violence against property is not the same as violence against people. Is it wrong? Sure. But classifying it as an equivalent form of violence is going to result in real violence against people by their government. This is one of my biggest fears right now.

Probably gonna use that hat as a get out of jail free card.

This seems fine.
