After the early bricks but before smartphones, there was a stretch where phone design went absolutely catshit bananas (1/?)

new workout goal is to have a body where after I commit a crime, the media posts my shirtless pics and everyone's like WOW

OK Boomers In this iPhone video by @JCyrier from our vantage point to the south, you can see the sonic boom in the air at 20 seconds and hear it BOOM at 47 seconds. Incredible body feel. “A sky scraper went into space, returned to earth, and parallel parked” - Sylvia Smith

Quite possibly the most unhinged Linkedin update I've ever seen. Former co-CEO of FTX heads to federal prison today to serve 7.5 years. But not before he drops this banger on social.

come through, man. we're hanging out in a seemingly boundless grove of pomegranate trees. it's always dusk here. I have forgotten almost every detail of my past

they just be hitting record bc what is this 😭😭😭

Hey @zweifelchips - I feel personally attacked that the Graneo with Lime and Pepper are no longer in stores and I can only buy them online. I need to be able to panic purchase at 17h after a long office day when it’s sweltering and there’s an impromptu lake apéro. What happened?

20 yrs ago today, “The OC” premiered. I keep showing my kids pics to prove how cool I was. For some reason, they don’t seem to get it.

Two different dev teams: Team A: a group of senior and above engineers go away and make important architecture decisions that the rest of the team will then follow. Team B: all engineers are invited to discuss architecture suggestions/directions before they are put in place.

168 william st, nyc. you can order it by asking for "the rainbolt". do not gatekeep.

This is absolutely wild from the geoguesser guy

finally watched ex machina last night. pretty good movie but i can’t figure out why everyone told me to watch it.

I’ve managed to figure out a lot of the adult parts of life that no one ever explains to you, but I still am completely incompetent at ballpark estimating the amount of socks I will need for a trip, with any degree of confidence. It always half of what I need or 350% more.

Despite poor lighting on my face in today's video version (my bad!), we've got a fascinating episode with the brilliant (and well-lit!) @Inkiostrikk, who details how data science is automating industrial machines. Watch here: superdatascience.com/680
