  • Amazing, but please no one else try this:

    Two people who reached the top of the antenna on the Empire State Building in New York City on Wednesday afternoon are in custody, according to the New York Police Department.

    The masked individuals also appeared to get engaged while atop the building.

    More photos and videos from these crazy lovebirds on Instagram.

  • Wow, NBA summer league is almost here already, starting on Friday. I like re-signing Harrison Barnes and Julian Champagnie. Plus the new rookies, great roster, don’t mess with what worked last season. 🏀

  • Testing the redesigned Wavelength app that @vincent has been working on and it looks so nice. The original app hasn’t gotten much attention. The new app is a modernized rewrite and we’re bringing it to Android too.

  • Federico Viticci blogged about how well suited the Mac is to AI agents, even running headless, compared to the more sandboxed iPad:

    What’s different in 2026 is that these powerful agentic tools that are redefining coding and knowledge work, and which are centralizing productivity inside so-called “super apps”, aren’t coming to the iPad, but not for political or financial reasons: they’re Mac-only because only macOS is mature and open enough to support them.

    Siri AI attempts to get around this limitation with an API that is only available to Apple, creating a kind of personal data silo.

  • LeBron James is moving on from the Lakers. LeBron has won an NBA championship with every team he’s played on. I’m curious to see how he wants to close out his career. 🏀

  • A thoughtful blog post from Vlad Campos about a sort of “paradox” with Micro.blog’s integration with the fediverse. Most software design is a series of tradeoffs, and while imperfect I think the decisions we’ve made are right for Micro.blog. But we can evolve too… Trying to keep an open mind.

  • Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship. Seemed obvious, but you never know these days. NPR:

    …as Chief Justice Roberts observed, the men who wrote the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution after the Civil War defined citizenship in broad terms on purpose, rejecting the views of those who wanted to limit citizenship. The resulting language of the amendment says, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”

  • Not a great time for my car’s A/C to start failing, driving back from Dallas. Way too hot out. Wish I was back at the beach.
