Time for a stupid walk before a stupid thunderstorm is supposed to hit us. ⚡️🚶♂️Might turn into a stupid run if the storm gets here early. 🏃♂️😆
Going for a stupid (mildly) smoky walk for my stupid mental health. Easy excuse to skip it today but… we can do hard things. 😂
CEO 101 level course on how to inflame a situation and make it worse: tell your employees via an email that will definitely be leaked that it’s fine. It’s all going to end Wednesday anyway.
It’s hard to imagine a better way to inspire protesters to continue.
“I wonder what information I need to know about this home I’m visiting? Oh I know! I’ll visit Apple’s Home app and check the notes there.” - said no one, ever.
If you dig into their products, Apple is so anti-social.
A city vehicle stopped in the middle of our street, workers got out and set out warning pylons, then pulled out a device of some sort and proceeded to play a series of audio tones in increasing pitch. After doing that for a minute, they packed up and left?
I went on a stupid walk for my stupid mental health, nearly melted my stupid face off, and nobody even asked me about my Transistor.fm tshirt. 😂

“AI Wrote This Email!”
Cool. I’m going to use “AI” to automatically delete any email that says “AI Wrote This Email” going forward. Thanks for the tip.
I wonder if the upcoming macOS game mode will also be a good “podcasting mode” option for podcasters?
Awesome to see moderators at Reddit not just lay down and let the CEO be an idiot.

Watching Shadow Men and wondering how we can trust anyone with anything… ever?
Going for another stupid walk for my stupid mental health. Might need the motivation of a stupid iced coffee halfway through to justify this stupid walk. Meet me at the coffee shop to find out. ☕️
Sad to see that Micro.blog has to disable cross-posting to Twitter, but I understand why. El0n has made it untenable for not-uber rich apps to be able to use the service.
Luckily, there’s Bluesky, Nostr, and other services are still supported.
I forgot to post today, but I did go for a stupid walk. I walked to check out my kid’s band recital. Elementary school band is something special. Luckily I didn’t get vertigo this time from all the different time signatures and keys being played at once.
Incredible to watch Reddit just shit on one of the more popular apps that their own community loves and uses. Imagine looking at what El0n and Twitter did and thinking “Hmm - yes. That seems like a great idea.” 🤦♂️
I saw this headline go by and thought “Yep, that’s my province.” and never read the article. Turns out, as many have pointed out, only 330 people were surveyed with a margin of error of +/- 4 per cent. In a province of over a million. 🫤
One anecdotal sign that Apple+ and MLS is a good partnership, for his birthday my nephew asked for Apple Store gift cards - not to buy apps or games, but to pay for an MLS subscription. And that was before this deal with Messi was announced.
