  Until I get airtag-like findability for every object in my life I’ll have to stick with the tried and true: • Lose Thing • Look everywhere for Thing in increasingly exasperated and embarrassing fashion • Purchase replacement Thing • Establish home for replacement Thing only to find… original Thing

  I expected to laugh like an idiot during COYOTE V. ACME I did not expect to have a much deeper emotional response like what the hell. What a picture, great time at the movies y’all.

  Last night the preteen asked if we could talk and sat down for an hour of genuine conversation about what’s going on his life that I’m pretty sure was only 10% motivated by wanting to extend bedtime and man. That’s the good stuff right there.

  It’s been at least twenty years since the last time I saw The Roots and tonight they were Hijo Uno’s first concert. Their show’s definitely evolved, still one of the best live bands on the planet.

  Design Twitter decamping to Threads now arguing about one of their own creating a logo for Meta’s AI like it’s 2012 is a perfect encapsulation of the rot of that industry and also why Threads (and Instagram) are the worst networks because they force you to perform the most obvious self-deception.

  Lotta middle aged dudes with teenage kids and gray beards at this Gorillaz concert. Wonder what that’s like (to have a beard)

  Big tech gets all the attention but there are thousands of VC and PE backed companies using AI as a classic arbitrage against bewilderingly complex systems they helped bring into existence to make your everyday experience of the world worse in every way https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/business/ai-hospitals-insurers-health-care-costs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.D1E.Njsb.BTGZ7zu7kzGK&smid=url-share

  Larry “Friend of Jeffrey Epstein” Summers refused to kick Zuckerberg out of Harvard for the most blatant violation of his classmates' privacy (women, natch) and now we regularly have to deal with credulous news stories from actual journalists about some obvious, awful bullshit he’s foisting on us.

  The obvious solution is to just ban the gambling apps but I’m pretty sure that’s how we end up with President Dave Portnoy so I propose we tax their revenue at 100% for every dollar over $1,000 they make off a gambler.

  This reads like a pitch for an Apple ad from 1994 that was ultimately passed on for being too maudlin. That it includes a ripoff Miyazaki as the lede art is a perfect fit for how cheap it is. https://x.com/alexandr_wang/status/2103551714536439951

  It’s not that surprising we’re doing Discourse about mediocre country-inflected pop having a moment after twenty years of dominance by mediocre hip-hop-inflected pop, I suppose I am surprised it’s coming from Rolling Stone not The Daily Caller.

  I also feel like I am losing what’s left of my mind when smart people who work in media use Facebook’s apps and discourse about it on Twitter as if they have no theory of how media has worked for two decades or agency in the process.

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@baileytownsend/116952597706316959 ActivityPub friends, Bailey is that rare combination of deeply knowledgeable protocol nerd and incredible generous human. I know him from our work together on AT Protocol, he's exploring this side of decentralized protocol land, give him a warm welcome.

  This summer, I’ve commissioned a series of portraits of artists and writers important to me, to be completed by a hyper-local artist interested in subsidizing their lavish lifestyle (my older son)

  When the AI hype first got going a few years ago, I recall predictions of unicorn sole proprietorships. That doesn’t seem to be happening and it feels equally likely the very idea of a unicorn software startup might be dying.

  Me, podcast listener: why are the credits for these shows so long? How many people could it possibly take to put some audio in the internet. Me, podcast creator: ah. Right.

  Exceedingly, perhaps a bit *too*, proud of this plywood sheet-cutting benchtop I put together to fit on my Bora Centipede workbench. Broke down TWENTY SIX full sheets of plywood by myself his weekend thanks to this bad boy

  In the 22 years since Malcolm Gladwell’s “Big and Bad” we’ve failed to rein in ever bigger trucks or make streets safer, and the size of your SUV is now yet another culture war battlefield that kills 45,000 Americans every year. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/06/21/us/trucks-suv-pedestrian-crashes.html
