Meh- it would have been fine if he’d stayed for a couple years to reset post Jobs, but finance guys don’t make good innovators and the bone dry well of Apple’s offerings says they needed change a while ago.

I’m sad about the death of allbirds. I first bought them in early COVID with the smiley inserts. I recently bought a new pair- they were so tight, I could barely get my feet in- I lasted 5 minutes of pain before they went back in the box. Death of quality, death of purpose, death of company.
Toooooo fast
Move slow and fix things
I cannot wait to see this show.
Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.
Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.
Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.
25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.
Pacer!
I put frozen blueberries into oatmeal this morning before cooking it in the microwave and it turned everything a fascinating shade of purple . Kinda makes eating oatmeal more fun.
Need to redo my politics bingo card for this year— mine is completely spoilt. I picked gas below $1.80/gallon (I was thinking Trump would pause gas tax to gain approval). Instead I should have gone with gas at >$6.00
Worse…they have “rock bands”
Or ever get it approved!
The whole thing about Democrats searching for a winning message for the midterms is infuriating because it is staring them in the face:
Rule of Law — People who do illegal shit should face consequences.
For insider trading. For illegal wars. For ignoring court orders. For being a pedophile.
For a 5% cut, I’ll help write the position papers — do crimes, serve time
Intercepted the bug guy to show him invading bug specimen: bugs don’t really bother me so yes, it’s still crawling on my hand while I’m showing it to you, but annoyed that it’s in my house even though I keep smashing them, please make them go away.
Happy Opening Day to those who celebrate
But they’re not stupid… they smell a way to make money
How do they envision balancing humanitarian vs profit
Magic 8 ball says ask again later
Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.
Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.
There- done some writing. Good job, brain.
You can buy a lot of King Crab with that….
Fighting hard against the blahs today. Did bare minimum for work stuff; going to indulge in some creative brain space as counter-point.
"It would hurt consumers and we'd have to think about, you know, if that continued, what we would have to do about that. But that's like really the last of our concerns right now"

When my colleague David Bier at a Senate hearing yesterday defended his statement that DHS has promoted ethnic cleansing, some conservatives reacted with anger. But Stephen Miller's deportation plan does indeed fit the description of ethnic cleansing, argues Kyle Varner at @theunpopulist.net. /1
Stupid Smarch weather
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
