'you're cognitively offloading'. yes. correct. that is what i wish to do. i do not wish to expend cognition figuring out which pharmacist takes my insurance and is closest. i want to offload it & be told who that is. you are free to continue manually doing this task you evidently find so meaningful

Saw Endgame in IMAX last night. 6 years later I can see the transparent structure & emotional manipulation of the movie, but.... it still really works on me. The "It's all going to be ok" vibe moments are very welcome right now. It was my 13yo's 1st time seeing the film, and that was a bonus delight

UNC endowment grew nearly 40% last year. SpaceX investment was a big part of it
The initial investment from the UNC fund came in 2009. Elon Musk’s SpaceX had an initial public offering in June.

I visited the new home of the piece of the Berlin Wall behind the Orlando CityWalk Hard Rock Cafe (which is now actually in front of the Orlando CityWalk Hard Rock Cafe). The location is also a designated stroller parking zone.

Strange New Worlds' Season 4 approach of Oops All Silly Episodes has grown old fast. But the most recent, a soap opera parody, unexpectedly redeemed itself in the last 10 minutes. I wish they'd let Anson Mount feature like that more often.

I need to do precisely three things via voice control - set reminders, set timers, and add things to the shopping list. This all worked perfectly via Google for years and transformed my forgetful life. Now as they force everything into Gemini, it's all gone to shit. I hate this technology path.

There's a full-on Rock Band game hidden inside Fortnite? It works with instrument controllers and everything. And there's another music remixing mode that's clearly built on the bones of Dropmix? Harmonix is the ghost in the machine over at Epic.

I've written before about how incredible Disneyland's live entertainment was in the 1960s. For example, on August 18, 1967, you could have seen a 21-year-old Dolly Parton (RIP) perform as part of that summer's Country Music Jubilee!
August 1967 newspaper advertisement for Disneyland After Dark, listing musical performances each night for the coming week and ending with mention of Disneyland's most exciting new adventure, Pirates of the Caribbean.Friday, August 18: Country Jubilee - Glen Campbell, Dolly Parton, Ray Riggs & Band, Country Cuties, Bobby Sansom & Main Event, Bill Elliott and his Date Niters, Firehouse Five + 2, The Ward Singers, The Mustangs.

I'm interested in any Android app recommendations to manage reminders better. Voice integration is crucial. Google Home's system has been very helpful for me but ultimately limited by many of the same things Marco described.

Electrical @electrical.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
I've never wanted to use an app so much, your description of forgetfulness really resonate. I'm an Android/Google Home user, & their reminder system has been helpful but still far from perfect. I want what you've described so much that I might switch platforms for it next time I'm up for a device

Turns out Fortnite is deeply weird and kind of fun, especially playing it with my kid. I threw a few bucks at the Krusty skin, what a time to be alive. I find the general UI and unlock system completely inscrutable though, making me an Old for sure (The monorail song also plays on my menu screen)
