Did something change with the Discover feed so that it is no longer stable when logged in? Every time I refresh it to get new posts, I end up with a completely different set of posts.

There is an open-source iOS app called Bouncer (also in the App Store) that lets you filter phrases like “Stop2End” so you never see these

Lime has figured a way around Lyft’s regulated monopoly on Bike Share in the Bay Area! They simply took the pedals off their e-bike and called it a “Glider”.

A green “Lift Glider” e-bike / scooter. It looks like an e-bike without pedals.

I’ve always liked the simplicity of Anthropic’s “Agents are models using tools in a loop”

Agents are models using tools in a loop

I was going slightly spare at the fact that every talk at this Anthropic developer conference has used the word "agents" dozens of times, but nobody ever stopped to provide …

There is a SFBA Bench Collective bench at the bus stop near my house. It is constantly being used during the day, but sometimes gets tagged.

Rustoleum “Warm Carmel” spray paint is a good way to keep these clean and keep them from being reported to the city. It dries completely in 20 min.

What are these non-standard colors on this large flag? Why is the “War Department” not using DDD-F-416E? Why do they not know what our flag is supposed to look like?

I was trying to get my dad to try Cost Plus for his many prescriptions 💸

He has what you might call a contrarian mindset

But when I finally managed to show him the website, he’s like “Mark Cuban, I know of him!” and then he was fine with checking it out 🙄

Perhaps this marketing works for boomers!

EA Tetris is a lot like regular Tetris, but it involves a journalist, a bone saw, and a suitcase.

The #NoTechForICE movement started in 2018, during the first Trump administration’s illegal separation of refugee children from their parents.

Unfortunately, few tech workers paid attention to the evil their tools were enabling. The AI-powered next generation of these tools is now being sold to ICE

With Star Wars and Marvel and Pixar and all the kid franchises, it feels impossible to stop spending money on Disney, but it’s not.

As I wrote in 2020 on the other site: Disney is an immoral company, and always has been.

Twitter screenshot that says:

I know it feels impossible to cut Disney out of your life, but it is now time.

Access to a universe of amazing TV, music, movies, toys, and video games means you no longer need to keep feeding Disney.

Your kids will survive without Disney movies. Mine have. You can do this!

The YouTube iOS app is so, so bad that it must be intentional. But why?

“There is always a point at which the terrorist ceases to manipulate the media gestalt. A point at which the violence may well escalate, but beyond which the terrorist has become symptomatic of the media gestalt itself.”
