Imagine how different the Disney parks Star Wars lands would have been if Andor had come out before they built those.

You can just tell something is wrong at Apple, by the way they refuse to join @gruber for his usual The Talk Show event. I know others have pointed this out, but let's just say, I also think it's obvious. Big whoops, Apple.

@kevinriggle @iris_meredith @jalcine yeah I don’t know why this post couldn’t have been “here are some things I am doing with this tool”. Like… Simon Willison does that every damn day, like a normal person. And then he says “and here are the fucked up things about the company that makes that tool”. Like a normal person!

@jalcine there are things in here that are directionally Not Even Wrong, but it still all falls into the category of “we need better AI criticism”. Everybody is talking past each other and punching straw men. Stupid.

@cabel oh man, I’m so sorry 🙏🏾

@gruber I’M BACK, BABY

@leeloo @kuba @nwd I think it’s fairly common? Not a big deal to just change stuff if people don’t like it

@mmm_kay I have no idea? Why are you in my replies fussing about it?

@ristkof I think if there’s something valuable to add, then the conversation is always welcome. It’s just been a long time since I’ve seen something new there.

@jochie only one way to find out!

@adders @poswald I GOTTA BE MEEE

One of the constant recurring topics on social media are stories of someone saying they don’t wash their legs, or they don’t use a washcloth, or they don’t take showers for a week. I wrote about why those stories always blow up. https://www.anildash.com/2025/05/29/who-is-clean/

@shovemedia I remember when browsers had to add constraints to prevent the creation of popups that were bigger than the user’s viewports, which was an eye-opening insight into human nature for me at the time. 😭

@shovemedia what if subscribing rewarded you with a big popup window though

@mattg I should make an option to turn it into a popup
