Watching people in the industry break down TLOAS and talk about how amazing it is makes my heart smile. It really is such an amazing album and TRULY deserves AOTY. There’s no other album out there like it.
Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation’s independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city’s waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.
“why are people obsessed with them” a girl raised by circus performers found her own extreme sport, met up with a guy she saw as a competition for a sponsored climb, and she gradually learned she could trust him and they fell in love. they’ve been romance novel material
Hunter Biden on his father pardoning him:
He chose me over his legacy, because no matter what you say, that's going to be one of the first things written about him.
He chose me over his political legacy.
And that's how much my dad loves me.
Let’s recap
- Justin Baldoni had his entire lawsuit dismissed & thrown out
- he wasted $30M on nothing
- he agreed to settle Blake’s suit instead of going to trial
- he had to move to Nashville
- he remains jobless & ugly
- now he has to pay her legal fees
Blake really won 😭
Your Instagram friends post vacation videos. But you cannot afford a vacation
You want companionship. But for the last 27 years, women have not enjoyed talking to you
You become radicalized, disguising your failures w/words like "socialism" & "personal responsibility," but you never truly take a look in the mirror to take personal responsibility for your sub-par personality and body odor
Frustrated, you log onto twitter and post this:
I have a problem directly telling annoying people to fuck off, so I resort to disrespectful behaviors to discourage them from talking to me
One of the best disrespectful behaviors I've found is rapidly spamming walls of nonsense using voice to text
I tried outsourcing this to AI, but I'm much faster at talking than these things are at writing
Or... I was.
Until Taalas.
They spent 30 million dollars creating the fastest AI in existence.
It's going to change the way we work forever.
Imagine:
Someone hits send on an email to you. Literally the next picosecond, they have a reply:
25 paragraphs of total dogshit
They send another email - "Is this AI??"
INSTANT response. THIRTY-TWO paragraphs this time.
Next, they send a meeting request. BEFORE THEY CAN BLINK:
Your AI assistant has responded "Maybe attending" and sent FIFTY-SEVEN PARAGRAPHS explaining how it's IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW whether you will be attending the meeting or not.
The value provided here is not calculable. US economists are not prepared for what this is about to do to the stock market.
I have no advice for you, either.
Good luck
Introducing Rork Companion Mac app
Until now, if you wanted to build apps with Swift, you had to install 30GB of Xcode, struggle with certificates, TestFlight, and pay $120 to test on your iPhone
Rork Companion solves all of it with a Mac app that can install up to 3 iOS apps on your phone, no $99 Apple Developer account needed
P.S. You still need an Apple Developer account to publish to the App Store
Someone exposed how the X platform is basically a big circle jerk for giant accounts.
I have been acutely aware of their self-perpetuating engagement circles.
They all serve the Messiah, and in between they serve to feed off each other’s engagement to survive losing relevance.
Congratulations to Mayor-elect Mamdani on a remarkable campaign and victory.
Honored to serve as co-chair of the transition as we work to build an administration that governs effectively and delivers a city where all New Yorkers can build a good life.
