As it turns out, that was the beginning of something special.

"The spies ... are patriots without countries, cursed forever to play out the violent gestures of war without any of the context that distracts from (or justifies) the carnage." @gyasihall's critical essay about the iconic comic strip is a must-read. https://t.co/QwSdDbee7d

@russbengtson YES.

Apple conspicuously ignoring the tether running down people’s backs

[Peter Rubin @provenself]

Nothing about this Apple VR product is half-baked. Vision Pro is the best possible foot forward for this tech and if people don't adopt after this CAN WE JUST AGREE WE DON'T WANT IT?

@bcmerchant hand/eye input only makes it a tougher play for gaming—might be a good scheme, but lacks the precision that analog controllers have.

[Peter Rubin @provenself]

Reminder that virtually (!) everything about the Vision Pro has been in the works for *years*. In 2019, I put the puzzle pieces together about Apple's AR dreams. https://t.co/aDWDKwHX15

[Placebo Bryson @RScottWilson]

@provenself Right? WHAT IS IT CONNECTED TO??? I've already tweeted three times about it. lol.

With the series finale roaring toward us on Sunday, @chlopinions looks back at some of the very best commentary and reporting about the beloved HBO show "Succession." https://t.co/cAODlACJGI

@km_mcfarland today I found out about someone named Yung Gravy and I may never be the same again

[Peter Rubin @provenself]

i'm sorry they're called WHAT

[Peter Rubin @provenself]

@km_mcfarland this really hurts my heart, just so you know

[Peter Rubin @provenself]

@jbienkahn nope, can't *possibly* imagine what cultural gaps in the leadership and current user base might lead to such a thing
