the amount of advertisement breaks in the NBA finals is bonkers, how can anyone enjoy something in 3 minute increments?↳

My Matic robot vacuum is soooo good!↳

that’s $0.025 per ladybug↳

$20 for 750 lady bugs seems like a pretty good deal from both an ecological and child amusement pov. ↳

I think the epitome of getting old is appreciating why pill organizers exist — it's not so much to organize the pills per se but to help you remember if you took them for the day. if you do not think this is difficult, you're not old. (also charlie has 9 pills per day vs. my paltry 5 (zinc, b complex, biokult x2, fish oil)↳

nothing annoys me more than the NPR fundraising months. makes the station total rubbish — I'd happily donate more if I could just skip and get regular programming, it's so obnoxious! ↳

My kids are obsessed with Pokemon, it’s great! 150 only though. ↳

I used to teach English at an alternative school in Florida. I had just read "Into Thin Air" so I had my high school students read it & write a 5-page footnoted research paper on the disastrous climb, using multiple online sources as well as the book itself. Most of the time, it was a struggle getting these kids to read anything more sophisticated than Dr Seuss, but this story fully engaged them. They surprised themselves with the quality of their work. You could say the challenge was a kind of Everest for them, but they reached the summit. Thank you, Mr Krakauer.

I'd love to know how many engineers and PMs work on Screen Time as it seems very very very buggy (and limited!)↳

John Gruber writes a lot of good stuff but his "claim chowder" stuff drives me crazy — he loves extolling how he is right and others were wrong. I am sure he conveniently omits any times he is wrong. ↳

LEGO City has some bangers releasing in the next few months:

  • Automatic Car Wash
  • Lava Land Amusement Park
  • Port Freight Train

Where are the City Smart Brick sets though?↳

I wonder if SpaceX ends up with a huge compute advantage over OpenAI/Anthropic because they all have similar gross sums of compute, but xAI probably has an order of magnitude less demand than the other two, allowing them to allocate significantly more compute to training.↳

This evening my 5 year old asked if the President was "McDonald Trump" ↳

In the April 2026 Peak to Peak board meeting they mentioned getting 1594 applications for 200 spots, across Kinder and Sixth grade. ↳

yoga is the best↳

Anthropic understandably decided to block Openclaw from having oAuth access and I wanted to use Anthropic Extra Usage but it cost me $25 in credits in 1 day, so alas, using Anthropic for OpenClaw is a no go.

I bought the $20/month OpenAI plan and connected that to OpenClaw. We'll see. It took many hours to get things working again, but not really the fault of OpenAI but how buggy OpenClaw is...

It really makes you wonder how much OpenClaw blew up the Anthropic business model in the past 6 months. If there is 100k users using Anthropic oAuth on OpenClaw and its $15/day in costs... thats a huge hit on their margin!↳

wow the frozen griddle cakes from Trader Joe’s are amazing ↳

I wonder if medium.com authors are aware that 90% of the content now requires that you signup/login — and when you do signup, it doesn't even redirect you back to the article you were viewing! crazy.↳

the TJs chocolate bars with cornflakes are incredible ↳
