I need to feel like a stock broker, 2 giant screens to make a purchase of that magnitude
The new Playlist Playgrounds feature in iOS 26.4 is a dud for me. Most of my attempts got errors or a playlist with a single song; when I asked for a playlist of British Invasion deep cuts, it was hits like Yesterday, Hey Jude, Lola… The feature has potential, but half-baked is generous
The way zoning changes lead to more affordable housing is:
1. Developers build luxury/fancy apartments
2. Decades pass; the once new luxury apartments wear down and become cheap
3. Rinse, repeat
Like yeah that’s slow! But at least something is being done.
Loved this production of The Importance of Being Earnest from @nationaltheatre.org.uk — free to watch until the 18th! Ncuti Gatwa and Sharon D Clarke are inspired casting

TRON but you’re just inside a Google Doc

Has to be pretty high odds that they’re generating at least some of the questions for trivia using AI 🤖
Years ago, listening to the radio as we parked in a Home Depot parking lot, I turned to my girlfriend and earnestly said: “you know, there should be more songs about *situations*”
Have yet to live it down lol but also I still believe it!
Screw AI, I’m going to use MORE em-dashes & MORE “delve,” Emily Dickinson would want me to
Ooo interesting, I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll have to look that up!
Also, would love to hear about what you learned in that course 👀
I continue to be amazed by Hush for removing reverb
It’s also depressing how much the critiques of Biden that stuck were about disability, when there was a record of substantive policy decisions that were much more damning!

Odd request: anyone good at speaking backwards (so that when played in reverse, it sounds mostly right)? For a very silly project 😅
