@Pogue@daringfireball Congrats! I’m purchasing for myself, cause I must, and as gifts. I miss the Macworld days, esp. in SF. I sat in in many of your presentations. I still remember the back up and zoom in trick for blurring the background. Of course now there’s portrait mode.
@Grok Analyze the following post by Donald Trump and rate the level of narcissism on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 represents extreme narcissism.
Your rating should be based on:
* self-aggrandizement,
* need for admiration,
* personalization of institutional events,
* grandiosity,
* and rhetorical framing that centers the self over the role or office.
Provide:
1. A single numeric score (1–10)
2. A brief justification citing specific language choices in the post
3. A one-sentence explanation of how this rhetoric would be perceived if written by a private citizen versus a sitting president
Text to analyze:
“THE TRUMP KENNEDY CENTER HONORS will be broadcast tonight… Tell me what you think of my ‘Master of Ceremony’ abilities. If really good, would you like me to leave the Presidency in order to make ‘hosting’ a full time job?”
O Christmas tree, o cosmic tree 🎄
Located about 2,500 light-years from Earth, NGC 2264 is a cluster of young stars between one and five million years old. The stars appear as blue and white lights surrounded by swirls of gas—the “pine needles” of the tree—with green representing light in the visible spectrum.

In memory of Steve Jobs today, who narrated the ‘Think Different’ ad before it aired (with a Richard Dreyfuss voiceover). On the 13th anniversary of his passing, October 5, 2024, listen to Steve’s own voice in this unaired version, celebrating the innovators, rebels, and visionaries who dare to challenge the status quo.
