We've been using these internally, and the implementation (especially switching back and forth between list view and board view) is really good!

If you hate your project management software (or don't have any), give GQueues a try. It's getting better and better.

[GQueues @gqueues]

Kanban boards have arrived in GQueues! Starting today, any project can be viewed as a board, and you can switch between views with just one click.

Thanks to Gemini and Claude, I now have The Email Game back (as a Chrome extension, runs on top of Gmail). I hit Inbox Zero for the first time in 2026 this week.

It's not baked enough for public release yet, but if you've been missing it, DM or @ mention me and I'll hook you up!

There are 0 high-cost, high housing production cities in the US.

[Wally Nowinski @Nowooski]

Redeveloping this into housing or housing + green space would be a huge win for Albany. Handing it over to a non profit to rot for decades in the hope a park might one day be built will kneecap the city’s finances.

@provisionalidea Rapid context switching slightly *increases* productivity but increases stress/anxiety by 2x. And attention span has gone from 2.5 minutes to 47 seconds per task! https://t.co/ZxK0Mia5gY

We're (https://t.co/cl50kUm1T9) about to post an episode all about this.

I have a really dumb feature request for @AnthropicAI and @GeminiApp - can you add a button to say Thank You that sends it at the start of the next request, if I make one, but otherwise doesn't use any tokens? I feel rude not expressing gratitude, but I know it costs electricity

Everyone loves this tweet, but it got it completely wrong. It is the sci-fi author — not the tech company — who is the true villain, for having put the story of the Torment Nexus into the training data.

@MattMahanSJ Im probably going to vote for you anyway because Steyer is insane on more important stuff than this, but every time you tweet about how much you want to hand windfall profits to the cartel of refiners, it turns my stomach

"listen to your body"

my body: go get a cinnamon roll the size of a tire

[Alex Moore @awmoore]

@Nowooski Oh gosh, me too. But this is worse than Mahan’s dumb gas tax holiday.

@TaplinTerry @RashiKesarwani @brentblackaby @BuffyWicks @JesseArreguin Er... 80% overall rather! Still really good!

[Alex Moore @awmoore]

Can we do this in Berkeley? Looks a lot more effective than the traffic calming stuff and pays for itself! cc @TaplinTerry @RashiKesarwani

[Jeremy Liew @jeremysliew]

SF speed cameras led to an 80% reduction in speeding.
- Incidents of dangerous speeding fell from roughly 45,000 in the months before the launch to about 5,700 in February.
-65% of vehicle owners who received notice of a violation didn't receive a second one.
-Just 2% of drivers at the 33 locations are exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph

@TaplinTerry @RashiKesarwani @brentblackaby Spectacular! Thanks so much for moving it forward.

@BuffyWicks @JesseArreguin who do I need to poke to get the state to allow us to see a 95% reduction in speeding here too?

[Alex Moore @awmoore]

Might be cooking something fun up 🍳

Ted Lasso helped save my sanity during the pandemic. Glad to have some of its joyful spirit back to get us through Trump 2.

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Welcome back coach! Ted Lasso returns August 5 on @AppleTV!

[Alex Moore @awmoore]

@gabor This looked awesome! Are y’all here showing it off?

[Alex Moore @awmoore]

Heads up @gmail crew -- the authuser URL parameter isn't working today, so a bunch of the links in Boomerang (and probably a ton of other products) are pulling up 404s. cc @googledevs

[Saagar Enjeti @esaagar]

This makes me sick

[Alex Moore @awmoore]

@Noahpinion Do you know anywhere that does in the bay area? My youngest loves corn more than anything, this would blow his mind

When water flash evaporates in space, about half the water evaporates taking almost all the heat so the other half of the water freezes to ice. The fraction of it that evaporates probably travels in all directions equally because it is a molecular level process. The velocities of those molecules will have a Boltzmann distribution, depending on the temperature of the water at each moment that the evaporation is occurring, so at first, the temperature will be warmer, but it will steadily cool as it evaporates. This will cause the velocities in the water vapor to become smaller and smaller. However, because the bolts in distribution has a very long tail, there will probably be molecules at velocities high enough to reach the moon. So some of those molecules would end up on the moon.

However, the ultraviolet light is able to break molecular bonds, and the probability of a molecule flying all the way to the lunar surface before photolysis is vanishing small. Therefore, what reaches the lunar surface will be individual atoms. These same atomic species are in the solar wind, so it will just be an in distinguishable, tiny addition to the solar wind.
