Is anyone ever incandescent with another emotion? I’d like to try being incandescent with, like, insouciance.

Considering how huge the company is, it’s actually pretty crazy how few devices they make. I’d be very interested in their take on the e-reader, serious digital camera, nipple clamp, portable bluetooth speaker, television, etc.

Tim Cook to become Apple Executive Chairman John Ternus to become Apple CEO Apple announced that Tim Cook will become executive chairman of Apple’s board of directors and John Ternus, senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, will become Apple’s next chief executive officer effective on September 1, 2026.

Anyway, someone should alert Congress that it’s possible to step down from your important job before you’re in your 80s. Tim Cook is 65. We used to call that “retirement age”! www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/…

So this is how I find out I didn’t get the job… very unprofessional.

Fuqua hadn’t planned to downplay the controversy that engulfed Jackson in his final decades. Instead, he envisioned a film that might have read as a provocative defense of its subject. Describing the scene of the raid, he told me, “I shot him being stripped naked, treated like an animal, a monster.” Fuqua is not convinced that Jackson did what he is accused of doing, despite the number of accusers (five) and the fact that Jackson publicly talked about sharing his bed with boys. “When I hear things about us—Black people in particular, especially in a certain position—there’s always pause,” Fuqua told me. He mentioned the facts of Elvis Presley’s life, suggesting there was a double standard. (Presley met his future wife, Priscilla, when she was fourteen, and she moved to Memphis to be with him at seventeen.) He was skeptical of some of the accusers’ parents, particularly Chandler’s father, a dentist and sometime screenwriter named Evan Chandler, who was recorded threatening to insure that Jackson was “humiliated beyond belief.” (Evan Chandler died by suicide in 2009, a few months after Jackson’s death.) Fuqua stressed that he didn’t know the truth of the allegations against Jackson. But, he said, “sometimes people do some nasty things for some money.”

I guess I should add that it’s hilarious to me that Caity correctly named the source of the best restaurant bread in America, and then picked the wrong bread.

SpaceX is buying a lot of Cybertrucks. Reporting from Bloomberg on how many Cybertrucks Elon’s other companies have been buying: > SpaceX, the Musk-led rocket and satellite maker, accounted for 1,279 — or more than 18% — of the 7,071 Cybertrucks registered in the US during the fourth quarter, according to registration data that S&P Glob…

This by Caity Weaver is a much more pleasant really long read than that New Yorker piece about how all the AI magnates are weirdos: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

Especially lecturing him about what Catholic doctrine means. Like, there’s only one authority above him, and AI slop notwithstanding, you’re not it.

(And next time a party with democratic principles has the power to do it, they should pack the court with actual jurists and then institute SCOTUS term limits. Ideally via Constitutional amendment so it’s not too easy to reverse later.)

Not to give anyone evil ideas, but it seems like when a president and Senate are in one party, it would be extremely logical for all SCOTUS justices of AARP age to retire before the next election so they can be replaced with 25-year-old idealogues.

When it’s literally your job to defend the indefensible, you end up saying a lot of dumb, hypocritical, abhorrent stuff.
