I hate when you're writing a really awesome song and your wife walks in and asks why you're playing the kit kat song on a synthesizer

AI agents can finally pay each other thanks to @googledevs' Agentic Payments Protocol (AP2) + x402. 👏

Alongside Google and Lowe’s Innovation Labs, we built a proof-of-concept demo where AI agents can plan a project, build a cart, and pay with stablecoins. 👇

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

A thread about my favorite story from running OMCB....

The genre of Christian Ska may not be that well known, but it's a thing.

Be afraid, kids.

Radical idea: You could try putting this project in the hands of the original team that made the first one. You know, the team that actually has an entire franchise plan to reinvent what a "Blair Witch" movie could be? @jason_blum @Lionsgate @blumhouse

The thread below is one that folks who weren’t online in the early days should read. It’s helped me crystallize some thoughts about something people say to me often as “fact” that has never rung true to me. Sorry for the 🧵on top of a 🧵. 1/12

So a few people have started to quit Twitter. Should you join them?

Old codgers like me go on about how good the online world used to be. But was it? What went wrong? And what does the future hold?

Let me start up Netscape Navigator and give you a few thoughts *dialing tone*...

@mikemonello @weird_nightmare Whoa! Thanks for turning me onto them. Incredible album! I need to figure out how to get them together with @FamilyVidMusic for a Charlotte, NC show!

[James Baicoianu @bai0]

Love to see this. @lowes released a 3d object library with a relatively relaxed license, and gives raw links to #glTF files which can be dragged and dropped into other apps. This is what the metaverse really looks like, not virtual headquarters on artificially scarce digital land

Another childhood star lost to drugs.

@david_jenkins__ @SueMahk @WSW1 @JDavidRuby @hbomax This makes me so happy — I can’t get enough of #OFMD. And once Discovery and Warner merge, would it be too much to ask for a companion docuseries that explores the real life histories of these characters?

[Josh Shabtai @joshshabtai]

@JahHills No idea what you’re looking for but the Zvex Machine is an incredible “noise generator.” https://t.co/jxXJHOlKFO. Don’t know how to describe it other than it lets me make a guitar sound like an elephant shredding off the tops of multiple cars.

[Josh Shabtai @joshshabtai]

@mitchellfrankli “yearning and focused”

[Josh Shabtai @joshshabtai]

Excited to start sharing some of the stuff we’ve been working on…

[Lowe's Innovation Labs @LowesLabs]

In the future, technology will not only sense and understand your home’s space, but put it in your hands when - and where - you need it.

That future is almost here.

@utterer sounds like all cons to me

[Josh Shabtai @joshshabtai]

is there like some surgical method for turning off #sweat glands? asking for a friend

[Josh Shabtai @joshshabtai]
