Hey Siri don’t ever let me order a foot long sub at Subway again. Those days have passed. Signed: Chris in a sub coma.
This is your reminder of a weekly (at most) newsletter I send out that contains thoughts I would’ve tweeted if Elon hadn’t barfed all over Twitter.

I used to think that if Threads got popular, that would piss El0n off the most. But the more I think about it, if LinkedIn became the new place everyone went to that might be what would annoy El0n even more. The Bill Gates Microsoft owned social network for stuffy suits becomes the new Twitter.😆
Instagram is tracking about 2.5 weeks behind TikTok based on when I see a video on TikTok vs when my extended family shares it from Instagram to the group chat.
Craig Mod is on one of his Tokyo walks this week. The “rules” for the walk and form to sign up for his pop-up newsletter are available here. I enjoy sipping my coffee and visiting Japan vicariously through his words and photos.

Having one of those “why am I so tired?” days where I repeatedly forget that my night brain decided to keep me awake from 3am - 6am last night.
Shipping new iMacs with 256GB of storage is a dick move. I get needing a low cost iMac, but the middle model should start at 512GB. It’s the equivalent of the 16GB iPhone Apple kept shipping for years.
It’d be hilarious if at Apple’s event tonight, Tim Cook came out in a John Hodgman “I’m a Mac” costume and announced that the iPhone 16 is being released today just to mess with everyone who bought an iPhone 15 a month ago.
Getting everyone else in my family out the door on a chilly Monday morning helps me appreciate my working from home business so much. My commute is sitting by the fire while sipping coffee until I decide to walk over to my office.
