I spend almost no time on Bluesky. I just haven’t found my people there, whatever that means. But since Twitter was banned in Brazil, many are going to Bluesky. It’s been impressive to see the site handle such a heavy influx of new users. I’m rooting for Bluesky. We all should.
I have to admit that I kind of love the 2025 IONIQ 5 XRT, but how can Hyundai keep making cars with that awful logo?! Ugh!
HyperTextHero, Simon Griffee, created a beautifully legible keyboard chord diagram. Lovely!
Kids are FINALLY going back to school tomorrow. OMFGTY
McSweeney’s has a thing about drop-off and pick-up rules.
Wonderful internet purveyors, Colossal did a bold redesign.
Dexcom started selling its CGM device over-the-counter without a prescription, which feels like a pretty big deal. Making CGM devices more accessible is a net win for conusmers.
This is my name in landsat.
Kinda weird to see Barnes & Noble stores re-appearing. I just noticed that they opened a location in Marina del Rey. It’s ironic that Amazon was the previous tenant in the same space. They had a weird physical retail store there. I also learned that they re-opened on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica where Midnight Special Bookstore used to be.

I’m a big fan of the text-only web, especially when it comes to news, which frankly I don’t consume much of at all, but skimming headlines once a day on The Brutalist Report feels a lot calmer than most news aggregators. I limit headlines to 5. When I posted about this on Farcaster, Elle directed me to this amazing Are.na channel of text only websites. WHOA.
Did not have an Oasis reunion on my bingo card.
I was a Sony Music college marketing rep while I was in school and got to work Definitely Maybe and What’s the Story Morning Glory. When Sony brought us all to NYC in 1995, we got to see them play. I just remember how loud it was.
