I haven't bought an iPad for years, but I think I'm gonna get an iPad mini. I'm a sucker for little gadgets
the base model iPhone 13 will now ship with 128GB, no more 64GB thank god https://t.co/8m9T5WlSxT
Apple just announced the iPhone 13. Same flat edge design, with a 20% smaller notch. Details here: https://t.co/mKY6qGJ9i5 https://t.co/jm5fkNBtBQ
ballsgate news cycle would not have lasted three whole days in the previous administration. bless this
Cops have a legit reason to fear a vax with reported side effects of right arm weakness and reduced visual accuity when shooting at small dogs https://t.co/CSsD5sg9Or
orzo returned from the vet with vaccinations, a microchip, and a little tablet of ivermectin. he's like the entire covid news cycle in one 4-month-old dog.
@kwameopam @CaseyNewton i would say so, the roguelike genre has become more mainstream, and bigger titles like returnal and deathloop have run with it from a storytelling perspective. even fortnite is a timeloop game -- there's a whole run of batman comics about it (not a joke)
@CaseyNewton @kwameopam game developers have always tried to find ways to make dying repeatedly part of the narrative
@CaseyNewton cant wait to read about this in the platformer
Achievement unlocked: fell right over on my bike waiting at an intersection because I couldn’t clip out in time when I lost my balance.
As I do in all things, I flopped onto the pavement with grace and dignity, sustaining only minor injuries.
(Apple Watch S5 didn’t detect it)
I get incorrectly tagged in a lot of wrong tweets but this one is going to be ... particularly bad https://t.co/LSpINPnQrJ
I follow 473 people on Clubhouse. In the last 24 hours, according to the app’s activity tab, four have been online 😬
!!!!! sitting next to a couple on a flight and he told his wife to check her phone and she just said "what does mile high club mean" !!!!!
I'm sorry there is no iPhone that can compete with this situation https://t.co/6N8okUl5Vi
@NICKIMINAJ Hi Nicki! Big fan, down to hang on IG anytime. But I think you meant @piersmorgan, who sucks, I agree
another good WSJ story
this is really where @brianboland's public statements about Facebook's willingness to examine itself seem to ring true. Some internal research is conducted, never really sees the light of day unless journalists dig it up. https://t.co/0RiCHbEdNn
great news I got a chair instead of a pew in the courtroom so you aren’t going to get as many tweets about how my back hurts
i told y’all it was the Twitter graph https://t.co/QYETDM96tj
mostly we get nebulous hand waving about Facebook being a net positive rahter than a net negative for the world, from the top down, but for people so obsessed with data there seems like there's been no effort to quantify that (that I've seen)
Voted no on the recall in a beautiful little garage in the Castro this morning. The volunteers were lovely and helpful and gave me a sticker. Democracy is lovely and we need more of it 🇺🇸
I'm looking forward to the definitive piece on why time-loop games and movies got to be so popular during the pandemic.
@A_Webster @CaseyNewton So is it that games in particular are becoming more ambitious when it comes to incorporating death into narrative?
@kwameopam easy answer feels like people wanting to turn the reality of ‘every day is the same’ into art, but also seems like people realized that after ‘edge of tomorrow’ we realized there is a LOT of juice in the ‘groundhog day’ formula

Norm Macdonald has passed away. He was one of the best comics ever. After we talked in 2011 I couldn't believe what an amazing talk it was. I still can't. One of the best episodes. Here it is. RIP https://t.co/344Ph5pFjn
We all tell little white lies about ourselves https://t.co/vweznBKAJI
breaking a longstanding personal commitment to never tweeting about a celebrity death to say: fuck
@kevintripp @CaseyNewton I think it has lost its thing status. It is post-thing.
So if I'm following correctly, VCs spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build a platform to listen to themselves talk. Average users didn't want to listen for long, and now it's became a phantom ship propelled only by waning inertia and its vast reams of cash https://t.co/RClXDrnQYa
Got attacked by N*c*i M*n*j stans today (I tweeted about balls) and was impressed at how well Twitter hid the replies. I wouldn’t have even known about them if friends hadn’t reached out to me in concern!
Nice to see some progress on the anti-harassment stuff.

@CaseyNewton okay but what were the takeaways from the broke men career fair?
Instead of waiting for @NewYorker leadership to (maybe never) break down its diversity stats, archive editor @erinoverbey grabbed 96 years' worth of back issues and did it herself.

one tea abt magazines is they want poc for digital and the internet but print! that's for the home team
norm macdonald had a throwaway one-liner on weekend update that i still think about once a day

Fox Corp. HR chief Kevin Lord just sent out a memo to staff saying that “90% of full-time employees reported they are fully vaccinated” after the company mandated everyone report their vaccination status.
Lord says they will soon introduce daily COVID testing for unvaccinated.
Norm MacDonald was one of the funniest people who ever lived.
Even, especially, the dumb dad jokes like this one. Just an absolute master at what he did. https://t.co/XwwveBeDYh
@pierce David, don’t tell her anything about your balls. She can’t be trusted
I regret to inform you that no one read that beautiful kicker you wrote
I am absolutely devastated about Norm Macdonald. Norm had the most unique comedic voice I have ever encountered and he was so relentlessly and uncompromisingly funny. I will never laugh that hard again. I'm so sad for all of us today.
@CaseyNewton @hunterwalk Always publish the drafts lol

Wrote about the thing that most worries me from the WSJ’s Facebook/Instagram investigations: we never would have known about these findings if not for some truly brave employees and talented reporters.
The EU has a better idea about all this:

a big project this summer has been expanding the @Verge Reviews and Guides team. I don't think I've yet announced all of the new folks we've brought on board, so here we go!
i was going to gripe about apple putting on an hour-plus commercial but i also watched a 30 minute ford bronco ad starring walton goggins last night on hulu so who am i to talk
Norm MacDonald was a true GOAT. As a comic, as a talk show guest. A true original. He tweeted this to me as my dad was dying from cancer in 2014, “I’m just an idiot, Laurie but I found when I embraced the pain as tightly as I could it became love. I pray for you.” RIP Norm. 🇨🇦
RIP Norm Macdonald. A wonderful, hilarious soul leaving this world too soon. ❤️

@samidh @CaseyNewton turns out SKYNET was a CMS before it went sentient https://t.co/L74TsZ74an
I'm told my name is probably on the list of special fancy people whose content moderation issues get escalated to Facebook's XCheck teams. That didn't stop them from taking down the historically significant penis picture I posted, though. https://t.co/xtI7tJyvDl
I'd also love to see the results of an election where there's no question on the ballot, you can just pick YES or NO. They should run one to calibrate these recalls.
@CaseyNewton Using a celebrity's name uncensored in a tweet is risky business so I'm glad for the Twitter measures but I will continue with the best anti-harassment measure, asterisks
The coming world of required researcher access to social media platform data? https://t.co/ZGYnK03JVc https://t.co/Az4xbVvwJc
One of the hardest times I’ve ever laughed was during the Bob Saget Roast as @normmacdonald ate it on purpose, gleefully digging in on a bit that the live audience wasn’t buying. Meanwhile, the other comics and myself were in tears and in awe of one of the funniest humans ever.
I realize it's hard to recreate a discussion in a meeting verbatim, but does this really sound believable to anyone? https://t.co/pTulNcB5YS
Remember, today’s recall election answers the fundamentally democratic question of whether California’s “unpopular governor” should be replaced by a MORE unpopular candidate who gets fewer votes.
Ah yes, the old Series 3 — SE — Series 7 standard, clear, current, obvious naming scheme for Apple Watch. #AppleEvent
@CaseyNewton We’d have to get past the “but the Cambridge Analytica guy was an academic” thing. It’s more a mental block rather than a true obstacle, but that’s assuming there’s a difference between those things.
@CaseyNewton Speculating that we'll see eventually a pivot to "We've heard from users that smaller is better when it comes to building meaningful communities. So we're capping rooms moving ahead at 10 people so you can really dig in and get to know others you have something in common with."

@CaseyNewton I’ll always make sure you know when I’m harassing you, Casey! ❤️😂
@CaseyNewton Is there a Twitter XCheck but for harassment?
@CaseyNewton That's what they call it in Southie. You're ok.
I don't know if there was ever a comic who could make *other* comics laugh the way Norm Macdonald could. One of the greatest practitioners of the shaggy dog story who ever lived. RIP.

@CaseyNewton Sometimes, I forget Clubhouse is still a thing. It's the Colecovision of social media. My friend had a Colecovision and it was fun because it was rare are irrelevant.
@CaseyNewton This is probably a good nudge to delete my account on there haha

@CaseyNewton You're fine. Look, it's CNBC. No one watching knows the difference between "Tik Tok" and "TickTack," anyway.
Besides, you got the "Tik" right, no matter how you spell it. Cut yourself some slack, huh?
@CaseyNewton I just saw a TikTok with that clip. #trending
@samidh @sheeraf @ceciliakang @rotmanschool @crowdtangle No one on our team was entirely sure if you *had* actually survived or not :)
One more I wanna share because I think it was really underrated in his SNL run: Impersonating Larry King and just repeating verbatim bits from his USA Today column https://t.co/R7QWDvKBhu
@CaseyNewton You mean the hype over a conference call app was just that?
@CaseyNewton Can you pass it off as a sudden, hard Midwestern accent? 😬
@CaseyNewton You just got 78 on the Buzzfeed guess your age quiz.
@CaseyNewton This just reminded me to go delete my account
@etbrooking @CaseyNewton That's an insane valuation 🤦🏻♂️ I want to hear the Twitter backroom conversations where they asked, "can't we, uh, just build this into Twitter?"
@chrismessina @CaseyNewton thank you for explaining, chris messina
@CaseyNewton I think their biggest mistake is not saving recordings. There are tons of past rooms I would want to listen to that they just let vanish.
@KatzOnEarth @CaseyNewton Please, Jonathan, don't hurt him.
@CaseyNewton I did the exact same thing in class today. Showed no mercy by my class of 18 year olds.
Couldn't agree more here:
Set aside the particulars, though, and you’re confronted with what may be an even more disturbing aspect about this report: it likely never would have come to light had it not been for some brave whistleblowers and the talented reporters at the Journal. https://t.co/s7af7o3zB2
@CaseyNewton Maybe they are all planning a surprise for you?
@CaseyNewton @CaseyNewton this is taking a life of its own
https://t.co/OSCiAMag2I
@CaseyNewton I gave it 2 months, then finally just deleted the app this week. Prob had too high of hopes & did find a few interesting sessions early on, but now it's mostly self-styled gurus stating the obvious and saying "did I offer value?" I was able to ask one question in all that time.
@CaseyNewton I only joined to save my screen name in case it became a thing and don’t think I ever logged in again.
@CaseyNewton @verge Almost seems like she's really just getting a bit testy with the mods. You know. Seeing how far she can go before they sack her
@CaseyNewton They should do an onlyfans thing and go live with sex workers. Big if it works.
@CaseyNewton Casey how come you never come to my antisemitic bitcoin seminars?
@CaseyNewton I spent two hours on Clubhouse and never went back.
The opportunity that we have is only superseded by the responsibility we feel. We hope we can live up to it over the years to come. So lucky to turn a wild idea into reality with the best team, community and investors. Exciting progress on our 2-step plan:
https://t.co/9esrmZKm79
@CaseyNewton Now you have to pretend to have some weird regional accent for the rest of your life, else risk being called a boomer.
@CaseyNewton Is this how you know you hit the big time? On air blooper?
@CaseyNewton speakers have run out of things to talk about, and listeners have demanding schedules. they should limit every user to one speaker hour per week, and provide an inbox of recorded talks
Damn, I feel bad for Clubhouse :(
They popularized an awesome feature and now everyone just copied them and added the clubhouse feature to their products. Which was super obvious from the beginning, but still. https://t.co/MiMsZG0q11
@CaseyNewton just gotta pronounce all your 'ock's as 'ack's from now on and claim it's a regional accent or something

@CaseyNewton I haven't been on in months. It's literally the same content, over and over again.

Such a boring place.

@CaseyNewton Yeah, censorship is great. I have to go into the analytics tab and look, or I miss 10–20% of my replies.
@CaseyNewton Those long hours playing(testing) video games have a price friend
@CaseyNewton It’s actually really helpful nowadays!! The filters hide people asking me things about where I work that I have no input on. 🙃

I have a iPhone 12+ Pro and it’s great, the only thing about the 13+ Pro that seemed like a big deal is the 3x zoom vs 2.5x. Was there something else? I don’t need a faster processor (ironically the only thing slow on my 12 is the camera) and everything else seems like software

@janecoaston @BenjySarlin @lachlan it does! going back on the gold standard would reduce the supply of dollars, putting a constraint on economic growth. it also puts deflationary pressure on the economy, benefitting creditors but harming debtors.
@katherinemiller @dcbigjohn I kind of want to branch out into other disgusting snacks.
@janecoaston @BenjySarlin @lachlan if they are creditors, the gold standard increases the value of their assets. there are also ideological reasons. under fiat currency, the creation of new dollars is a more explicitly political decision, subject to democratic accountability…

@janecoaston @jbouie @BenjySarlin @lachlan It’s the idea that the supply of gold is naturally ordained and exists outside of politics, which makes the money more legitimate somehow. Of course, none of that bears out and the decision to back with gold is itself entirely political and leads to panics every 20 years.

@janecoaston @BenjySarlin @lachlan it’s why gold/free silver became the object of intense political and ideological contestation in the late 19th century. to challenge the gold standard was to challenge the existing distribution of property and the basic economic arrangements of society
@janecoaston @BenjySarlin @lachlan people on fixed incomes, for whom inflation erodes the value of their assets, might do well under a gold standard. incidentally, the bulk of the audience for conservative media is people on fixed incomes.

Gov. Gavin Newsom was elected with 61.9% of the vote in 2018.

I get that this Twitter actually serves an educational purpose for a lot of people, but the Times makes the same eight grammatical and punctuation errors several times a day and I don't think I need to correct each twenty times a week for people to master the concepts.
It was annoying to wake up on a Saturday and feel I had to scan everything the Times had tweeted out in the last eight hours instead of, I don't know, liking dog pictures on Instagram or going back to sleep.
So would people, besides the Times reporters and editors who depend on me, really mind if I only spot-checked five to ten articles a day and all the tweets, instead of speed-editing everything? I can't say it's time-consuming because that would be admitting I'm human, but . . .

though nobody will read my latest newsletter because I sent it out at 5:28pm pacific, I think I've finally worked out what pisses me off about all these anti-WFH/pro-office things - they are so probing, so judgmental and so damning of workers but so nice to corporations
Sorry this was so long/all over the place, but I am sick and tired of labor reporters being the only ones capable of seeing that the forced return to offices/pay cuts are a worker abuse issue and not a thing where a company is the victim. Companies are not victims
https://t.co/vWaJMj2Vu6 Approaching the anti-WFH/FOW conversation as anything other than corporations taking liberties is a failure of journalism. There is a correct way to do this, and it isn't asking companies how they feel - it's holding their feet to the fire. https://t.co/FXvIqNNtwo
https://t.co/vWaJMj2Vu6 These articles fail to describe the power dynamic of the workplace, the unfair, illogical way in which companies use and abuse workers - why can companies cut pay based on location, but fail to pay people for extra hours they're working outside the office? https://t.co/8VOobeSQGE
https://t.co/vWaJMj2Vu6 There is a massive disconnect in this coverage - what it is that companies actually think they're paying for, and how much a worker is taken advantage of. Big and small companies are going beyond an exchange of labor for money and it needs to be addressed! https://t.co/GLW85XkI4x
https://t.co/vWaJMj2Vu6 These future of work/remote work articles always fail because they come from a pro-corporation standpoint - that things are being done to the employer, who "has" to move because workers will get upset. Corporations are never grilled like workers. https://t.co/GyTBappYol
https://t.co/vWaJMj2Vu6 The Journal had another banger this week too, with an article about how workers want to not take paycuts when they move. Workers are quoted in detail about their personal lives - companies are asked and quoted in the most surface-level way. https://t.co/Ug9qOaMfoT

Apple: You can use all your old watch bands with new models.
Also Apple: After 7 years, we're just not going to make a plain aluminum model anymore. Hope your watch bands match *STARLIGHT* whatever the hell that is!

I thought Norm was the funniest person alive. Everyone else just moved up one. Incredibly grateful for the time @DanRyckert somehow convinced the bartender to let us stick around after a show to meet him. He hung out with us for way longer than he had to. https://t.co/trE4aOjbfv

I suppose it’s good to know App Annie data is accurate. Not so much that the company lied to providers about how they were going to anonymize it and then turned around and sold access to it… and then lied again about the data being compliant. https://t.co/S7XwSOkcEq

Why is this important? Because otherwise friendly, decent white people are really the bedrock upon which passive racism maintains its grip on media mastheads & editorial departments. And when ppl look up to you as an example for an entire industry, this shit is just embarrassing
Supporting and voting for Larry Elder is a sign of poor character and black people have absolutely nothing to do with this. It’s *all* on people who loath black people enough to promote someone like this. https://t.co/05MCARj0ro

Norm Macdonald is the reason I'm a writer. There's not a second reason. I studied him growing up. He got me my first job. I'm crushed. Rest in peace to the best comedian on earth.

Every time you make fun of Elliot Page's suit I remember that it has taken me a solid year of shitty haircuts and too-large shirts to figure out how to buy clothes, and I STILL can't do it, and I feel tremendous warmth for this enormously-sleeved, weird-bangs-having movie star

I’m sorry but the recall was a complete and unmitigated disaster for Republicans and the forces pushing it. They got destroyed and in some ways it’s the first concrete piece of evidence that Trumpism has enduring political costs.

This is relevant because Jason has spent the last few years trying to rehabilitate his public image, including engaging in lawsuits designed to frame him as a victim, not a perpetrator.

@Chican3ry Yeah. I keep taking it and answering with all extremes and can’t get it to 0 tho.
Elliot Kline: “if you could provide me with an antifa chick to punch that would be fantastic!”
Nazis are violent. Nazis are the violent instigators.
@Chican3ry No, I think it’s like the bare minimum value tbh
Not but really I want to know more about the allegation from Unite the Right organizer Elliot Kline that Richard Spencer and former Identity Evropa leader Patrick Casey told James Fields to commit a terror attack.

@chadloder Here’s one of his arguments: in a video, I said, “we didn’t gas them, antifa didn’t gas them” as evidence that I and “antifa” are one in the same. But the same statement can easily be interpreted as implying two parties!
@_Savage_Mom_ @KathrynTewson Sorry i’m on mobile but if you have pacer access the case # is 3:17cv72 in WDVa
@_Savage_Mom_ He’s not mad at me doxing him. He thinks that it’s somehow relevant that I exposed other people.
He also misgenders me several times in this filing, which is 1) quite possibly contempt of this very court’s earlier order, and 2) not exactly a stunning defense against the allegations that his behaviors were motivated by hate
Chris and I mutually released our claims, but he’s spending his defense effort in Sines v Kessler by maintaining a delusion that he is the plaintiff suing me, and not a defendant being sued for his behavior in a conspiracy.
Chris Cantwell continues his pro se civil defense by being obsessed with me, crafting elaborate conspiracy theories about me, and misrepresenting reality.
I am not a party to the suit nor am I a deposed witness.
