Sure, dickovers badgering me to “create GIFs” seems like a flagship feature for a trillion dollar company.

Very good meal at @GiuseppeSons last night, but they stuck us at a table with @Merchandise7X and I'm worried his North Korean table manners might have gotten me banned. (Not pictured: the new-to-the-menu Pork Chop "Martini", which stole the show. Delicious.)

macOS 27.3 renders Markdown files in QuickLook previews 👌🏻
A macOS screenshot showing the QuickLook UI with the text "Hello, QuickLook!" and "This is a Markdown file being rendered by QuickLook on macOS 27.3 beta 1." The text is formatted with a heading, Markdown in bold, and the macOS version using a monospaced font.

This is what it feels like to root for the Yankees when the Yankees are right. Enjoy.

Flew home from LA yesterday and brought the weather with me.

FOX NEWS: Tom, why are you here this morning? TOM: There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front FOX NEWS: Alright. So maybe this is not a Trump supporter.

Even if you're a decent designer (or believe yourself to be), it's liberating not to have a say in the matter. Constraints are sometimes freeing. daringfireball.net/2026/10/p…

When the NFL schedule came out, ABC must have been licking their chops for Dallas at Philly on MNF in week 7. I mean it's not Dolphins-Jets, but it's pretty bad.

Today is World Champagne Day, and we're reminded of this quote from Casino Royale.​ Whilst Bond is famous for his martinis, both he and Ian Fleming were partial to a glass of fizz. 007 actually drinks more Champagne in the books than he does martinis. We’ll raise a glass of ‘cheerful wine’ to that!​ #WorldChampagneDay #JamesBond #IanFleming #CasinoRoyale

It's been a lot of fun trying the Duo out for a week, but it feels like I've gotten to use an extraordinarily polished prototype — not a finished product that I'd want to buy and carry. daringfireball.net/2026/10/t…

October 17, 1999: In the bottom of the 8th of ALCS game 4, Yankees’ 2B Chuck Knoblauch “tags” Red Sox Jose Offerman as part of an inning-ending double play, preserving a 3-2 lead. Yankees would score 6 in the top of the 9th and win the game 9-2.
