I’m in a group chat and someone linked to this post on Twitter of maybe the greatest flashmob video I think I’ve ever seen. Thankfully you don’t have to go there to see it. Humans can be wonderful.

John Candy was one of the greats. Can’t wait for this one.

I’m not in the market for a wrist wearable. I love my Apple Watch Ultra (and also my Oura ring), but POLAR is a great company and they should be applauded for making a screen-free and subscription-free product in 2025. I hope it’s a wild success for them!

Foil stickers on the web?! COME! ON!

The Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity (what a name!) is creating a museum in Marin County. Can’t wait to be able to visit this!

From tala’s blog post perfectionism is a form of shame.

Finally saw the new Superman on Friday with the family. It was… fine. Not great. Fun in the moment, but that feeling seemed to fade quickly. Definitely James Gunn-y. Kids thought it was fine too, but liked the original better. Go figure.

Spotify added messaging to their app. Awful. It absolutely pains me to pay for it every month. I literally agonize over it and bemoan the fact that despite there being some solutions out there to move playlists from one service to another, each only kinda sorta does it!

Sippy has one of my favorite blogs. I really enjoyed reading about three books dot net, a site he made with Claude Code.

On a related note, while I do listen to Ezra’s podcast and often find the topics interesting and the conversations intelligent, I find his voice irritating. And not just a little irritating, but enough that it gets in the way of enjoying his podcast sometimes. I feel like an asshole saying it, but he just has one of those voices. I can’t explain it. I have often thought that it be nice if you could just change his, or anyone’s voice on a podcast or audiobook, to another voice? I feel like this is entirely in the realm of possibility and will be a feature in the not-so-distant future.
