What’s the best feature #Apple revealed at #WWDC25?

@gedeonm I finished it last night too! It’s easily some of the best tv I’ve seen in a while. I loved the format of each episode being part of their shift and the season covering one day. I wonder if they’ll keep that up in the future. I just hope season 2 comes quickly instead of having some of the long delays other shows have had recently.

Finally finished #ThePitt. All around one of the best seasons of TV I’ve watched in years. A superbly written, acted, paced and produced medical drama. And despite the entire season taking place across one 12 hour ER shift, more character development happened here than on most multi-year shows.

It can be quite realistic and gory but if you can learn to look away when that stuff bothers you it’s well, WELL worth your time. Kudos to Noah Wiley & everyone who made it, I can’t wait for season 2.

Noah Wiley as Dr. Robby as he stands in the ER of the Pitt.

@deepgreen that’s what I’m looking for. Being able to play with family and friends. Basically the people I know in GameCenter. Didn’t think SharePlay was an option for this.

@refactoredd Hell yeah! Has Jony ever proven himself to be a great product guy? He’s a wonderful industrial designer of course, but that doesn’t always translate to being a great product designer.

@bondo I’d love to see videos of your commutes!

@deepgreen Are you planning to use Apple’s GameCenter to enable multiplayer gaming?

We could use some more active beta testers for Ivory! We just pushed an update with the following that needs testing:

- Support for the 'read later' service, Raindrop.io
- Fixed issues with the 'read later' service, Readwise.

Join here:

You can choose your read later service in the account settings within Ivory.

(PS. This gets asked fairly often, but we haven't added the GoodLinks service because they don't have a proper network API for us to use.)

Jony Ive is known for being a private person. It’s surprising he’d be in the #OpenAI video in his condition without having already talked about it publicly.

No, she didn’t “misstate” the meaning of habeas corpus. It’s not that she “can’t define it.” She didn’t “incorrectly describe” it.

She believes in a false, fascistic government “right” to deport and exile people without due process—the exact opposite of habeas corpus.

I’m watching the Jony Ive and Sam Altman video where they introduce their new company io. It’s apparent that Jony has some sort of degenerative disease. Parkinson’s maybe? That’s so sad. #JonyIve #io #ParkinsonsDisease

Harvard squarely standing up to the Trump. Its lawyers to the regime: “The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government. Accordingly, Harvard will not accept the government’s terms as an agreement in principle. … Harvard is not prepared to agree to demands that go beyond the lawful authority of this or any administration.” Full letter in pics.

U.S. Department of Education
Dear Messrs. Gruenbaum, Keveney, and Wheeler:
We represent Harvard University. We are writing in response to your letter dated April 11,
2025, addressed to DI. Alan Garber, Harvard's President, and Penny Pritzker, Senior Fellow of the
Harvard Corporation.
Harvard is committed to fighting antisemitism and other forms of bigotry in its community.
Antisemitism and discrimination of any kind not only are abhorrent and antithetical to Harvard's
values but also threaten its academic mission.
To that end, Harvard has made, and will continue to make, lasting and robust structural,
policy, and programmatic changes to ensure that the university is a welcoming and supportive
learning environment for all students and continues to abide in all respects with federal law across
its academic programs and operations, while fostering open inquiry in a pluralistic community free
from intimidation and open to challenging orthodoxies, whatever their source. …
It is unfortunate, then, that your letter disregards Harvard's efforts and instead presents
demands that,
in contravention of the First Amendment, invade university freedoms long

recognized by the Supreme Court. The government's terms also circumvent Harvard's statutory
rights by requiring unsupported and disruptive remedies for alleged harms that the government has
not proven through mandatory processes established by Congress and required by law. No less
objectionable is the condition, first made explicit in the letter of March 31, 2025, that Harvard
accede to these terms or risk the loss of billions of dollars in federal funding critical to vital research
and innovation that has saved and improved lives and allowed Harvard to play a central role in
making our country's scientific, medical, and other research communities the standard-bearers for
the world. These demands extend not only to Harvard but to separately incorporated and
independently operated medical and research hospitals engaging in life-saving work on behalf of
their patients. The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional
rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the
federal government. Accordingly, Harvard will not accept the government's terms as an agreement
in principle.
… Harvard is not prepared to
agree to demands that go beyond the lawful authority of this or any administration.

@gedeonm ours went missing years ago and I’ve never found it. It felt really good in the hand so I still think of it now and then.
