Just beat Lies of P (base game, not DLC). Blown away. One of the best games I've ever played. Might... unseat Bloodborne as my favorite. Not sure. But it's quite incredible.

I thought this was a excellent and well-written nuanced essay on a very real problem that has roots in all sides of the political spectrum. nytimes.com/2025/06/14/opinion

@cbowns It's just funny that all the very online Apple crew talk all things Apple (good and bad) and use Apple stuff through and through but no one seems to use iCloud for email.

I've found that w/ Apple if you just use all their stuff it all tends to work a little better together. But this has not proven true with iCloud.

Anyone else use iCloud for their email? And anyone else have trouble with it CONSTANTLY putting important messages in Junk? I feel like I haven’t heard anyone complain about this. But it drives me nuts. Gmail never had this problem.

@ichris jokes aside I still can’t believe how much this looks like Windows Vista. I’m flabbergasted.

I won’t know if I like or dislike it until it ships but my initial impression is… I don’t like it.

I don’t really get what “liquid glass” actually is? Looks nearly the same to my eyes. Just… glassier… #wwdc25

After spending five years alone in the wilderness as a manager, I wrote a conference presentation called "The future of Management", in which I asserted that the average manager underperforms the market, and could usefully be replaced with a Magic 8-ball.
The _entire field_ of management is hopelessly broken, especially when it comes to knowledge work, and should be rewritten from scratch.
Yes, I know the answer is never to rewrite things from scratch, but in this case I believe it is justified.
As Shakespeare said "First, kill all the managers".

Caught a cold from my wife. I thought I dodged it, but alas it got me. I was trying to play Mario Kart World and wanted nothing more than to be in bed at 8:30pm. 😖

@sepcot nice! I found the set up process easy. And glad they didn’t muck with the UI. It was kind of perfect as is.

I know there’s basically only one game for it right now but I am just happy to have it.

Transfer and set up was a breeze. New Mario Kart is fun!

Switch 2 acquired.

Woke up at 5:45am to get to target in Colma, CA by 6:30am. They opened at 7am. Target had none. I ran back home. Got my work out in. Went to GameStop at 10am. They had four. I was eighth in line. No dice. Best Buy had none at 10:05am (they open at 10am too). GameStop in Stonestown mall (SF, CA) opens at 11am. I showed up at 10:25. Second in line. I got it. She handed out tickets. She only has three. So I got a ticket and chilled on a bench until 11am.
