Daring Fireball: Trump Has No Idea What the Declaration of Independence Means
_ …by the time he gets toward the end of this second term they’re going to have to somehow try to keep him away from microphones. You can’t get out of the fourth grade without being able to describe what the Declaration of Independence means._
With 2 seconds remaining the Winnipeg Jets are scoring to push for overtime — glad I stayed on this Game 7 against the St Louis Blues! #NHLPlayoffs
Extremely important Win-or-go-Home game tonight for my #ParisBasketball in the #Euroleague playoffs ( @euroleaguenews.bsky.social )

Had a fantastic time seeing Tyler, The Creator last night!
I’ve been a fan for more than a decade now — his past 4-5 albums have been frequently on rotation at home over the years, and I’m fascinated by the creative freedom and artistry he seems to shape for himself.
After a first act dedicated to Chromakopia, he walked over a bridge to reach the small center stage, set like a living room (with a sofa, a desk, a turntable, and a crate of vinyl records.) He browsed through the crate containing his previous albums and other Easter eggs and influences and would then pick his albums and put them onto the turntable to play the hits.
Such a cool yet simple concept hit it was executed beautifully!
Finished watching the new season of Severance but also wrapped up Yellowstone this week.
Severance: continues to be a mystery wrapped in an enigma although the secrets were unveiled throughout the course of this second season and I’m really curious where they take it.
Yellowstone: despite the numerous, unfortunate drama behind the scenes, I’m glad they were able to wrap it up, and look forward to catching up on the spinoffs.
This was very good, well executed, and fairly tight! Obviously ended up having the perfect incentive to watch this… #Conclave
Love that I can count you as a friend @danigiacopelli:
As the world leans further into AI and as traditional coding jobs become extinct, the only real differentiator or ‘moat’ left for businesses will be either 1) building an actual community and/or 2) creating things you can touch and feel. That’s the one thing AI can’t replicate and probably/hopefully never will.
My Paris Basketball team starts its very first #Euroleague playoff game tonight, away at Fenerbahce. Very excited and a little nervous too! 💪 🏀 ❤️🖤💙

Recently created 2 AI Agents to help me in my job — a great exercise for me, considering I’m in a customer-facing role and non-technical position.
Basically, one focuses on our vertical, and one is more horizontal, by contrast. Doing so is a real timesaver, while not breaching any confidentiality or confidential information. Really powerful stuff that is already paying dividens and making me better at my job…
Is #Severance the most Twin Peaks-Ian show since Twin Peaks?
The misogynists of Gilead say “Blessed be the fruit”; ours say “Grab ’em by the pussy.” Still, the sadism of the show’s fictional world finds ample comparisons in our own.
Kvaradona has arrived in Paris — such a great fit for them and a great career choice for him! #PSGAVL
Désiré Doué is special, man! #PSGAVL très très doué
Good Ebening, are we in for an Unai Emery masterclass?! #ChampionsLeague #PSGAVL
Humility, prudence, and honesty are not just nice virtues to have—they are practical tools that produce good outcomes. When you replace them with greed, lust, hypocrisy, and dishonesty, terrible things happen.

I’m no PSG fan, but my cousin took me out to the game today :)
With this 1-0 Win, PSG wins their 13th domestic title, league early
Never missing an opportunity to share fellow bon vivant Action Bronson’s adventures in Paris:
no one makes me want to roam the city [Paris] quite like American rapper and food enthusiast Action Bronson.
Color is never just color… it’s light, meaning, and mood.

This goes against a lot of things I believe in — which is unsurprising since it’s about New York-based corporate culture…

This #Orioles team is SPECIAL man! ADLEY and now O’Neill 🤩
Been stuck on something for work the past few days — something minor but couldn’t wrap my head around it.
Took some time to formulate it to my AI overlords, with the right context and suddenly things are cleared up. I love using it to help me gain clarity — feels kinda super power-ish

The Trump regime remains a shitty, segregationist enterprise that is unworthy of anyone’s respect or obeisance.
Finally took some time to open my @Topps Series 1 card packs today, ahead of the upcoming Baseball season :)
Been starved of Baseball — very excited for the start of the Tokyo Series later today between the Dodgers & Cubs!
Think of any game you played as a kid and I can almost guarantee you that you can play that game today “across new devices and in new ways” today. This doesn’t need AI at all, it’s been happening for decades via emulation.
Spent some time with the pals at Fixtured to tell my story of being a sports fan :)
¡Atléti por favor! Absolutely rooting for the Colchoneros tonight in the #ChampionsLeague return game against their archrival and perennial Karen-team Real Madrid
Very excited to open this baby up in the next few days: ⚾️ 🃏
