@liorsela In city limits - chill.
On the open road - standard.
Hurry and Mad Max would erode range.

@woodhaus2 You painted a masterpiece.

[Josh Wolfe @wolfejosh]

powerful insight

in one short video @MelanieLatest brilliantly explains how

otherwise GOOD people, truly believing they are GOOD

can come to believe truly BAD (and false things) and become EVIL people

(while falsely believing they are still good)

@aakashgupta The cross was already placed on top of the Tower of Jesus Christ on February 20, 2026, bringing the tower to its full planned height of 172.5 meters. I get that they're going to have a formal celebration, but the cross is already in place.

we need you to fund DHS and pass the SAVE act NOW.
Please forget everything else until these are done.

@RussellAdkison @TheExtremeMusi1 It was too early for that :-) but I did just have a listen. You’re right - this is one amazing album. A real banger!
It’s been an unrecognized gap in my knowledge. Your tip somehow reached me in the right way at the right time.
Thank you!!

@RussellAdkison @TheExtremeMusi1 Chacun à son goût, but you may have a point.
I'll check it out again.

@aakashgupta 74 year old bass player here. After years of loud music, playing in bands & seeing live music (The Who, Cream, Hendrix, Ramones, Metallica amongst the loudest) my ears have been seriously damaged. AirPodsPro2 are helping, with no stigma.

This is the @Pogue CNN special.

It's a great 45mins and I encourage you to watch it all.
David tells a complex story in ways that people can understand. Including some very interesting explainers to AI, privacy and trust at the end.

David should starting writing "Apple Intelligence, the Missing Manual" so the rest of us know why to value trust and privacy - and why Private Cloud Compute is a good thing.

Privacy, the megahertz of AI age.

This interview is remarkable for how it places a buzz word for much of the industry at the very centre of how Apple views its product. And how far they will go to defend it.

"Privacy. It's an Apple exclusive."

I don't know if David made that up, or whether it's something he picked up in his sponging of Apple people on how they engage the world.

But that's Apple's edge in a nutshell. Representative of the trust people place in their product. Because they care, because you feel that care even if you never see the circuit board, or the algorithm. You can bet, someone thought about how does this look to the human?

Because they are the only guys in the world who build the whole widget anymore, and care how real humans would use it in the course of a full and collective human life.

So privacy is a useful litmus test for Can Apple be trusted? because break that hull integrity of trust and they are just like everyone else.

David answers that question to whether Apple can be trusted in a grounded way, with understanding, facts and explaining a few complex things very simply.

I am also going to voice my appreciation for the way in which David answered the Tim Cook legacy question as well.

He didn't write off Tim as a soulless corporate, logistic chess master locked in spreadsheets with no feel for the soulful.

In fact, it was a very considered and well balanced take on Tim's contribution to Apple in amplifying their reach through ecosystem and community building. Not without its rapier negotiation style (shareholders expect no less), but grounded in the human bit, not merely the efficiency bit.

He didn't anoint Tim with the "collaborator" brush either in the question around Apple's dealings with Trump.

Well worth watching, many little gems to appreciate all the way through. And very good job by Bill Weir who I thought touched on many critical issues we should be debating more urgently today at the end of the story.
