@aaronabentheuer @nelsonscholler I'm pretty sure you only created this as a demo but if you ever continue the presentation past the first post box I, for one, would love to see it. Also, no love for the K8? theguardian.com/culture/2023/j…

You can download the file and try it yourself here: dropbox.com/s/80ujsarwuvej… — and thanks to @nelsonscholler for creating these awesome .usdz assets to play around with.

Keynote’s latest update adds an amazing new feature: .usdz 3D asset support! They can be fully animated using Magic Move allowing for some pretty powerful new ways of storytelling in Keynote.

@mattbucher On max.com there's still a TCM "brand spotlight", but I agree, it's far less obvious than it used to be, and it might not be available in the apps. play.max.com/channel/580927…

HBO Max had a well-curated Turner Classics Movies Hub. "Max" does not. It has dumped all classic movies into general categories. Downgrade.

@btx91 @sevensixfive Sadly not; it ended after a (slightly rushed) sixth season.

@sevensixfive that show is still going??

I want to know everything about this (especially the parking lots)

@tomcoates Um, yes. I seem to be having a burst of playing and I just had a really good run at Wellington with a lucky start. Still not great at Beijing or Munich, though.

@paulmison Omigod, you keep beating my scores on Mini Metro etc.

@tomcoates @maisonmargleIa @tavi_chocochip @elonmusk @sevensixfive @DanielleFong

@maisonmargleIa @tavi_chocochip @elonmusk @sevensixfive @DanielleFong Yes. Those are made up words too. ALL THE WORDS ARE MADE UP.

I’m not brainwashed!!

@Just1Byte if it flies it’s not a domicile. Those tend to be on the ground. And stationary. @JxckSweeney

@JxckSweeney I still think he banned you because you are destroying his right to privacy in his personal domicile. You deserve it.

@firepile @sevensixfive have they even seen Gattaca? Strong “we built the torment nexus” energy here.

Here's a version without the paywall. This is really important stuff to keep track of. 'Malcolm's "going to want to make business cards that say 'Simone and Malcolm Collins: Hipster Eugenicists," she said with a laugh.' web.archive.org/web/2022111715…

Giant waste of money, they are

@genmon According to the SF Chronicle last January, the city took to shining lasers to try to disperse them sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

Observation #1 is that downtown Sunnyvale is full of crows

@zachbaron I'm not certain, but when Bale answers about what the family circumstances were, I reckon he said "Thatcher's Britain" not "factious Britain" (although the one did drive the other).

“I was thinking about your question about, like, ‘What the fuck did you do Thor for?’” - Christian Bale commenting on my interview style gq.com/story/christia…

@timdotd @genmon i was wondering if there was a better encoding than just Moree of standard notation. Seems like yes (thanks for the link) (See also: twice failing to correctly encode board state in incoherency.co.uk/blog/stories/s…)

My biggest question about the beads up the bum chess cheating hypothesis is whether it’s a single bead that buzzes the proposed move in Morse code, or whether there are several beads in a line and they spell out “1.e4” in a scrolling banner because that would be impressive

@TaylorLorenz @rachelbinx I can't read that because of the NYT paywall, but I loved a presumably similar post by the same author in the London Review of Books last year lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/…

@michalmigurski no front licence plate either, tut tut (Teslas were always the worst for that when I still went to an office)

This poster from @calacademy is right- Earth can’t wait. That’s why it’s so saddening that they’ve continually fought changing a single route becoming car-free in SF’s Golden Gate Park.

@AstroKatie SFO has one airside at the far end of Terminal I (opened in ‘18 iirc) as well as another landside at Terminal 2, but the addition of the ATC is genius.

Note for replies: I am aware a lot of airports have viewing areas somewhere in the vicinity! What sounds amazing to me is a space accessible for passengers waiting to board flights so we can be outside and watch the airplanes instead of sitting around in the terminal.

All airports should have this!

@burritojustice i was over in the Richmond last weekend and every time I saw @calacademy’s adverts on bus shelters about their climate change actions I felt disgusted at the hypocrisy

every so often I try to use a computer like a normal person who doesn't know a ridiculous amount of inane trivia about how they work and it generally doesn't go great

@wiredferret … and on the other questions: I don't know if there's enough advantage over street level to route via it; it's quiet because weekend & upstairs (plus the (great) cinema that used to be there closed)

- Why is it so quiet? Weekend? Covid? Too full of stairs?

Y'all, San Francisco has a blocks-long skyway system of gorgeous brutalist-modern glory, and _I never knew_! What?! A sampling of images.

@wiredferret It replaced the SF Produce Market (relocated to between 101 and 280 south of Army (as was)), so there was a lot of land free at once. The housing north of it is also part of the redevelopment. pcad.lib.washington.edu/building/3421/

Here are my questions: - What tectonic (possibly literally) event of city planning occurred that so much got built at the exact same architectural moment? - Do mapping applications not know about it? I have never gotten a walking route through here.

@Annaleen the article doesn’t mention it but Grow SF is another PAC (not that growsf.org makes it clear) funded largely by an early FB employee whose Wikipedia bio features “Philanthrophy” but not “Politics” 🤨

Terrific article by @cfarivar on the effort to recall San Francisco's progressive DA Chesya Boudin, who is pushing for decarceration strategies. Turns out the recall campaign is mostly funded by Silicon Valley billionaires who don't live in the city. forbes.com/sites/cyrusfar…
