What font is this in Apple's 50th Anniversary branding? It seems to have stumped most of the font ID tools I've thrown at it.

Side note: Might this be a new member of the San Francisco family?

Something amazing seeing @reggiehudlin's original 1983 student film version of House Party ("House Party!"), which just popped up on YouTube. There's no Bilal bumping the turntable, or *that* dance scene, but the energy of pre-Run DMC-era hip hop is fierce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huIekzBVD6k

I’m just going to say that pointing out flaws in $600 and $700 laptops and having people instinctively respond “it’s not for real users, these buyers don’t know/care” is gross. Why should we make the assumption that those buyers don’t still deserve better, or at least on par with the 6 year old product it’s replacing that sold at the same price. Stop assuming people who don’t spend $1000+ on tech are imbeciles or deserve subpar options. No one in 2026 deserves a laptop with a single USB 3 port.

@hotdogsladies My kid tells me this is "giving someone their flowers”:

I recently watched an old Vimeo video of a talk of yours. This quote of yours stuck with me, and it’s dynamite advice.

“I think that multitasking, driving, email, French kissing… Everybody thinks they're really, really good at it until they start asking around.”

Thank you. It's awesome advice.
