This moment was the culmination of 5 years of a massive team effort @ Sphere, and 6 months of my own medaling as the realtime Creative Director for the exterior (Exo) screen —playing a small part in bringing it to life.

Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

There was a time early in my life where ‘Meals on Wheels’ was what my grandmother and my mom and I lived off of. These programs are so important for those in need and it’s heart breaking to see anyone challenging their validity to line their own pockets.

My experience with Apple Intelligence so far.
Me: “hey Siri, Take a few words in this note pad and do something with them”
Apple Intelligence: Challenge NOT excepted. Only a fool would ask for that. You aren’t using my intelligence correctly.
Did you hear Severance is back though?!

My friend Lydia (one of the amazing artists that makes Sphere Entertainment Co. a reality) just moved into her dream home with her newlywed husband.
Their whole home went up in a flash. They were away and had no time to take anything.

Wikipedia is one of the last places in the internet where facts matter. They hate that.
Scoop: I obtained a confidential presentation outlining how a major conservative think tanks plans to go after volunteer editors on Wikipedia who it says are "abusing their position" and promoting antisemitism

Now I need to go Austin
There’s a gate number infinity at the Austin Airport.
It’s at a slight angle, so the walls are clipping into the walls of the regular airport.
There’s a ticket counter that decides where you’re going based on a quiz.
The speaker announces imaginary departures.
It reminds me of Meow Wolf.
