Thanks for writing so many lovely emails to podcast@searls.co. Hell, thanks even for the unlovely ones.
Be sure to look out for me showing up on Dead Code at some point after it records next Tuesday. I'm realizing not all podcasts have a 1-hour-or-less turnaround time like this one does.
As promised, some URLs follow:
- Want a Japanese girlfriend? Better be the right Myers-Briggs type
- Aaron's puns, ranked
- Men sucking at chores is turning women gay! (News+)
- Nightmares kill you (Archive)
- This shiner from /r/overemployed
- Hour of Code is now Hour of AI
- Gary Marcus taking a few victory laps around GPT-5
- OpenAI caves to 4o-pilled users
- Meta's AI rules have let bots hold 'sensual' chats with children
- Apple returns blood oxygen monitoring to the latest Apple Watches (sort of)
- The Trump Trophy
- My man Steve Wozniak has a 6-digit /. account
- Enough
- Andor
- Alien: Earth
- Sims 2 Legacy Collection
- Foundation Season 3
- Mariusz schools us on running Claude Code in a Docker container (sources)
- Marick's ZIRP reply and my follow-up post
