Wrote the full piece on what Claude Design actually does, where the metering works differently than you'd expect, and the honest case for switching from ChatGPT: open.substack.com/pub/purenichol…

Adobe isn't about to be disrupted. Adobe is actively being disrupted and has been for two years. Built a promotional video in 15 minutes inside Claude Design last night — work that would've taken hours in After Effects. The walled garden strategy is the wrong posture for this moment.

Claude Design just whipped this promo up for me in 15 minutes. It’s not perfect, but with some tweaking and adjusting the brand design standard, the ability to spin-up video promos like this in minutes is mind blowing. If you want to read the article: open.substack.com/pub/purenichol…

@TrumpWarRoom @SecScottBessent Why? So you can harvest it back next year?

🚨 @SecScottBessent with a direct message to American taxpayers: "I want to encourage everyone out there watching today to change their withholding ... you will get an automatic real wage increase on a weekly or a monthly basis."

@nicksortor @zerohedge We need to pay our amazing United States veterans to stand at the doors of our schools and protect our kids.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Newly-released surveillance video shows a high school principal in Oklahoma TACKLING a school shooter before he could open fire on kids What a HERO! Principal Kirk Moore RUSHED the shooter when he aimed at his first would-be victim, wresting the gun away from him. Give this man an award. Absolute legend. The attempted shooter at Pauls Valley High School is now being held on a $1 million bond.

Let me explain exactly why Apple still uses drag-to-install in 2026, because the joke here accidentally proves Apple right. A macOS .app is a single self-contained folder disguised as a file. Every dependency, every framework, every resource lives inside it. Drag it to Applications, it works. Drag it to Trash, it's gone. No registry entries. No leftover DLLs. No uninstaller that misses half the files. Windows installers scatter fragments across Program Files, AppData, the registry, system32, and a dozen temp directories. Uninstalling a Windows app is an archaeological dig. Five years later you're still finding config files from software you forgot you owned. Linux is worse. Dependency hell is so common they named it. Entire package managers exist to solve the problem of "I installed something and now nothing else works." Flatpak and Snap were invented specifically to copy what macOS bundles already did natively. The macOS bundle architecture came from NeXTSTEP in 1989. Steve Jobs brought it to OS X in 2001. The core design hasn't changed because the core design was correct. An app is a folder. Installation is a copy. Removal is a delete. Three operations that map perfectly to how humans already think about files. The drag-to-install window with the arrow isn't lazy UX. It's the entire thesis of the system made visible. You are literally just moving a folder. There is no "installation" step because there's nothing to install. The app is already complete. Every other OS eventually tried to get here. Windows got MSIX. Linux got Flatpak. Mobile figured it out from day one because phones shipped after Apple proved the model. The pattern everyone else converged toward is the pattern this tweet is calling outdated. The funniest part: the app being dragged in that screenshot is Claude. An AI that can write code, analyze documents, and reason about complex systems. And the most advanced step in getting it onto your machine is holding down a mouse button and moving your wrist two inches to the right. That's not a design failure. That's a 37-year-old architecture so good that the most sophisticated software on earth still ships inside it.

@jtrumpio @MilwaukeeTool Yeah my new brushless models are solid. I think this is my old original small impact. Maybe 6 or 7 years old?

@nickmke @MilwaukeeTool unfortunately most of their brushed motors are junk.

Hey @MilwaukeeTool this normal?

@BeatinTheBookie How do you roll a Range Rover on flat terrain? You can barely do it off-road.

Whoever Tiger hired to detail his car does a spectacular job I do wanna say that. This is the cleanest crash I’ve ever seen.

@dom_lucre Updates you can only see “at the atomic level”

🔥🚨JUST IN: Prolific Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee took a photo of himself with every IPhone from IPhone 1 to iPhone 17 to show viewers how Apple’s quality has changed over the years.

@digijordan @Figure_robot I need to invest in rotary actuators now

The White House today had a @Figure_robot explain to the world that it will soon be replacing teachers… And it will. It will also replace surgeons, lawyers, pilots, truck drivers, police officers, soldiers and basically every other job. And believe it or not…this is good.

Anyone try this Blackline towel? I wanna buy it. Looks awesome. cargearreviews.com/reviews/blackl…

@BorisJohnson @BorisJohnson doesn’t know the definition of a ponzi scheme 🤣

I've long suspected Bitcoin is a giant Ponzi scheme and now I'm hearing tales of woe that make me fear I'm right. mol.im/a/15643681
