    After Norway’s win, I got swept into a crowd and ended up sitting on the ground in front of Parliament doing a Viking Row with thousands of fans. I now understand football.

    I signed up for a Nebula trial and it …looks like the exact same slop that gets posted on YouTube?

    There’s a house that was demolished and is now in the process of being fully rebuilt, two doors down from me. Full volume audio of the entire construction process should be livestreamed to the owners’ current location. No mute button, no breaks.

    @pj the interview with Julia Mejia is a tough listen. Calling people arrogant while loudly refusing to *consider* the safety statistics of AVs is wildly shortsighted for a public servant. Robotaxi fleets are obviously a multifaceted issue, but Waymo Driver’s safety record is objectively better than humans.

    If you haven’t been paying attention to modern house and electronic music, Fred Again’s DJ set with Thomas Bangalter (former Daft Punk robot) has been released on YouTube and is one of the most joyful things to come out of 2026. https://youtu.be/gfF8jzBVWvM

    I met three exterminators today. None of them were Texan or white, but they were all somehow Dale Gribble.

    I’ve been lucky enough to participate in a lot of Apple 50 events with some very special people this week. It’s been such a rare pleasure to pause, look back and celebrate the people &amp;amp; technology that made my entire career possible before coming full-circle and becoming my career. It’s been a good week.

    Does Slack seriously not have a way to add a caption track to an uploaded video? #accessibility

    Just watched the first episode of the Malcom in the Middle update. Absolutely shocked that they pulled it off.

    I’ve been visiting a CrossFit gym while in Honolulu. I don’t like the affiliation with the sport/company, but I do like the coaches and workouts. Anyway, out of all the gyms I’ve visited around the world since 2011, every single one of them have had the same playlist. Early-2000s Eminem, Imagine Dragons mixed with AC/DC-era butt-rock. If we can use AI or whatever to update these gyms’ playlists, that would be a real win for me, personally.

    We gotta get this fire truck canceled.

    We’re still dealing with our rodent problem. At some point while we were out of town last week, one of them must have ran over a HomePod. We got home and it was absolutely blasting dance music. TIL: the HomePod accepts mouse input.
