Two episodes in, “Something Very Bad is Going to Happen” is extremely my shit

Big news!
I'm launching a tiny Mac app 🥺🔍🤏

 It's called TinyStart, and it's a lightweight Launcher and Emoji picker for macOS!

Unlike Spotlight, TinyStart is super fast at showing results and launching apps. It never becomes overcrowded with search results you don't need, and it lets you open URLs, perform web searches with custom search engines, and quickly open folders in Finder.

Oh and yes, I think the Emoji picker is pretty good too. It's everything the default macOS Emoji picker isn't: it's fast, it lets you insert Emojis in any text field, it isn't picky about keywords, and it learns your favorite Emojis over time.

Get TinyStart at https://tinystart.app: it's €5, you pay for it once and future updates are free!

also I made a lil' video to show you what it looks like:

Hoping this is the beta we get some of that Gemini-powered Apple Intelligence goodness! 🤞

I don’t think I could have possibly expected where “For All Mankind” would go back when season 1 was airing, but I’m not shocked in the slightest that its still one of the best shows on TV today. So good.
Got a random urge for 7Up cake, which I haven't had or thought of in probably close to 20 years. Why? Who knows! The human brain is a strange mystery! All I know is now I gotta find or make some 7Up cake, stat. https://www.7up.com/en/recipes/7up-bundt-cake
THE BIG TAKE: As Apple turns 50, the wheels of succession are in motion. John Ternus is the company's "nice guy" CEO heir apparent. The most in-depth look at Ternus, his growing empire and Apple’s Tim Cook succession plans to date. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2026-apple-next-ceo/?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc3NDIxMzI4NywiZXhwIjoxNzc0ODE4MDg3LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUQ0JKUDZLR1pBSVowMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJDNEVEQ0FFMUZBMDU0MEJFQTI0QTlGMjExQzFFOTA4MCJ9.wCKYEdSFWp79aRqtwPlm2qXCmdEMlgK6L8WTZNtRoqg
Project Hail Mary might be my favorite movie of the last 10+ years. A beautiful story, and an equally beautiful movie. See it on the biggest screen you can!

...I'm not insane in thinking that DLSS 5 looks *significantly* worse, right? Like as a piece of intentional art? @tomwarren.co.uk https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:fbtvg6jxtdroidfvq5z635xu/post/3mh75wodg7s2e

Nvidia just announced DLSS 5, calling it the “most significant breakthrough in computer graphics” since the introduction of real-time ray tracing in 2018. DLSS 5 uses “real-time neural rendering” and is coming to RTX 50 series GPUs later this year https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/dlss5-breakthrough-in-visual-fidelity-for-games/
