  I know I’ve been releasing a lot of iOS apps because this sign made me do a double take. Iykyk.

  Just a reminder that supporting X means supporting Elon. Supporting Elon means funding his massive spending that actively and explicitly pushes hatred of and harm towards trans people. So supporting Elon means attacking my family. I do take it personally. It’s a direct line. https://truthout.org/articles/elon-musk-spends-100-million-on-anti-trans-ads-targeting-dems-in-midterm-races/

  I made a /friends page because it seemed like a fun thing to do. https://lexfriedman.com/friends/ Please note that it randomizes the order on every page load because I'm not a monster.

  I never liked Harry Potter. Just not my thing. My family did, though. And then when JK revealed who she was, they all immediately noped out forevermore. Don’t support horrible people. It’s that easy. There’s enough other great art to enjoy.

  I never learned how to ride a bike. Do I buy a bike that’s for a tall guy like me and simply assume I’ll be able to figure it out? Do I instead try to first learn on my son’s bike, though my son is… eight inches shorter than I am?

  Gnome for Mac is updated with two core fixes: 1. Sometimes cloud sync for local GIF libraries could endlessly try to update, even when there were no changes. That... wasn't great. Gnome now doesn't do that. That's better. 2. If you resized the Gnome window, arrow key navigation got wonky. Whoops! All better now. https://lexfriedman.com/gnome

  I slept exceeding poorly last night, as you may hear about on this… Thursday’s? Episode of Your Daily Lex. (I’ve been banking eps.) Anyway, I’m now in a challenge to see how long I will force myself to stay awake before giving up and going to bed.

  Has anyone encountered — and more helpfully, fixed — the issue where your Mac refuses to deliver texts you send to an RCS contact, and messages only go through from your phone? In the screenshot, the first one's attempted from the Mac, the second one's from the iPhone.

  My regular Planet Fitness is on its third day of being closed with no power so I went to a different one today. It’s a bit like traveling in England: all the signs are still in English, but everything feels very different.

  It’s been a minute since I posted about this, but every time I do, I hear from someone whose life I think I help improve. So. About two minutes ago, I gave myself a shot. In this case, it was an injection into my right thigh. I prepped for the shot with an ice pack, a vibrating doohickey called Buzzy, anti bacterial hand gel, and alcohol swabs. When I finally gave myself the injection of Emgality, 30 minutes after removing it from the fridge, it burned like the fiery pits of hell. Oh my god, I...
