    Today is the Cleansing of the Airpots for @bonbpdx. They&amp;#39;re pretty clean except for the oldest one, but it&amp;#39;s nice to do this regularly. Bar Keepers Friend will probably mutate my genes or something, but damn it&amp;#39;s good.

    A good piece about why Apple&amp;#39;s chip architecture is good for current-gen AI models, the sad state of  Intelligence, and why that&amp;#39;s led to huge lead times for  hardware. IMO, if  designers thought of models as ways to solve a11y UX issues, they might catch up. https://om.co/2026/04/27/memory-is-the-machine/

    &amp;quot;Emergency First Responders Say Waymos Are Getting Worse&amp;quot;: Aarian Marshall @ Wired “I believe the technology was deployed too quickly in too vast amounts, with hundreds of vehicles, when it wasn’t really ready,” one police official told federal regulators last month https://www.wired.com/story/emergency-first-responders-say-waymos-are-getting-worse/

    In the annals of shit-talking, Gavroche&amp;#39;s response to a National Guardsman who tries to stop and frisk him in Les Miserables are historic: Voilà de vilains mots. La première fois_ qu&amp;#39;on vous donnera à téter, _il faudra qu&amp;#39;on vous essuie mieux la bouche. &amp;quot;Nasty language! You suck your momma&amp;#39;s tit with that mouth?&amp;quot;

    There are multiple times during the boss battle at the end of the ep where Fisk&amp;#39;s crotch is vulnerable and DD fights clean. Bourgeois fight choreography. Hit him in the nuts, Matt.

    #TheBoys 5.4 is a pretty perfect execution of an hour of serialized SF tv: great characterization, plot twists, dialog, and homage to inspirational work.

    I&amp;#39;m not sure I ever realized how expressive Russell&amp;#39;s face is, before. Maybe I was distracted. #HisKindOfWoman #TCMParty #NoirAlley

    Some engineering and design folks heavy into ClaudeCode are writing about the demise of Figma. They keep writing that ClaudeCode in the hands of designers makes code the &amp;quot;source of truth.&amp;quot; Umm, no. Let me tell you why this is nutso crazy from product management&amp;#39;s point of view. /

    @paninid@mastodon.world I saw this story which mentioned possibly unsent emails from Epstein claiming that Gates asked him for medication treating an STD. Nothing about his now ex-wife, nothing about dosing her surreptitiously. Do you have links? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/us/bill-gates-epstein.html?unlocked_article_code=1.IlA.lQ1M.PrkK1dGGxrQC&amp;smid=url-share
