And this downplays the bar it happened at: Phineas Phogg's at Church Street Station, an old-timey hot-air-ballooning-themed saloon.

Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.

Huh!

lol why is Benj Pasek in Peter Thiel's secret club?

Now that this is happening, news outlets need to stand up policies that state they won't participate in these embargoes. It's ghoulish.

The YES network does it again

so embarrassing that doctors get shows like ER and The Pitt, and podcasters got Alex, Inc.

if you release three albums at the same time… isn't that just…

History: White Sox/Brewers is the first MLB game without Matt Vasgersian doing play-by-play since Joe Davis called Game 7 of the 2025 World Series

This is where I YET AGAIN encourage people, especially creators, to have, develop and actively maintain their own websites where people can find you, away from the social media sites you don't own and/or can't control and/or whose discoverability algorithms are at the whim of billionaire weirdos.

All of this seems particularly odd since there will be no components left for the end-user devices actual people would use to access the AI that the data centers are supposed to enable.

…David Blaine was requesting… what?

I was curious about the song in the New Era "I am what I am" commercial that's been airing during baseball. (youtu.be/HKV71Sq_X38) Incredibly, it's an interpolation of this number written by Harry Nilsson for "Popeye" (1980). youtu.be/qhxDQ1g964U

An old bit of design I did to chase demons from my head: the Comic Sans font family

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

“I2I” tragically never charted

In case you missed it last night, I dug into Will Smith's "fake AI crowd" video. Nearly everyone got this wrong, and the evidence was easy to find… if you're sick enough to watch everything Will Smith posted on social media in the last four months.

This episode is delightful, and mashes together pretty much every one of my interests in an hour of audio

mostly besides nilay's (very good) point but you don't actually *like* podcasts if you refuse to listen to them.

I made this in 2016 so the references are stale, but please trust that it was just as stupid then as it is now

I sort of understand NYT wanting the archive removed from this site, but the rest of this is pretty rich, considering Connections is just a straight-ahead clone of a game from the British game show Only Connect. www.theverge.com/2024/11/20/2...

Does Apple use the single-storey `a` character in any app other than Notes? I think this is what makes a Notes screenshot so instantly recognizable.

hi we're here now

@pfrazee.com I'm sure this is like absolutely the least important thing to you all right now, but the "System" font setting is a great option! Unfortunately it still uses a 0.25 letter spacing, so it doesn't actually feel totally native, at least on Mac/iOS.

Today, we’re excited to announce that the Bluesky network is federating, or opening up in a way that allows you to host your own data! Read more here for how this will affect your experience on Bluesky (in short: it won’t) and why this matters.  bsky.social/about/blog/0...
