I just had an idea for a neat thing Apple could do.

Y’know the little tabs that pop up when you select text in iOS?

It’d be cool if the device learned which actions you tend to choose in a given situation.

So, if you choose “Translate” more often than, say, “Format,” they could make that a little easier for you.

This is an idea that I just had.

Unrelatedly related:

  1. Apple News+ is a cynical lobster trap that only exists to push shitty run-of-network ads for plantar fasciitis insoles and free money for seniors;

  2. The whole reason this occurred to me is I really wanted to show Madeline an article with an amazing photo.

You see? Women really CAN have it all.

But sometimes that means having some paint tubes on the floor your baby can play with with once they’re done being briefly intrigued by your right foot.

Man, you guys really light up if I say literally one thing about computers.

It’s uncanny.

Thing is, this new insight gives me a malign sort of power by which I can simulate your interest in my life without your even knowing I'm doing it.

It's gonna get really weird and there's gonna be a LOT of computers.

And, to be clear, I will not be using my new power responsibly.

I will be using my new power as irresponsibly and insufferably as possible.

I stand falsely accused, Ricky.

I really doubt that I need to name for you the specifics of the perpetrator. Because their reputation is widely known and feared.

So just think of the smartest person you know, and then imagine living your life never being able to know whether that person actually likes you.

Imagine that, Ricky.

Imagine it.

Thus, my recent remark about being attracted to women with unusual teeth (which teeth are used to eat) makes this very funny and definitely constitutes a hat on a hat.

I write, first, to please myself, and also I am broken inside.

I used to go to a shrink, but now I just spend 45 minutes singing all the Glenn Frey harmonies on the 1975 Eagles album, "One of These Nights."

If you're new to this novel form of therapy, maybe try starting with "Lyin' Eyes."

Some clients have also reported success just doing whatever Don Henley is doing because his parts are also perfect.

Of course the one time my wife listens in on a Roderick on the Line episode @hotdogsladies goes on and on about porn stars and MILFs.

I think she was too afraid to ask.

Maybe not the best first episode.

It’s a very young relationship, but so far this cat is kind of rocking my world.

To my beloved east coast friends, thanks in advance for never again bitching about “”earthquake twitter.””

When it happens to you it feels like kind of a big deal, huh?

Stay safe. 😬👍

At ten minutes before the hour, almost every Apple Watch in the world reminds the user to stand up.

I just want to stipulate that this is merely a serving suggestion.

You could choose to treat it as a reminder to eat some pie, drink a glass of water, or think of someone you love.

Now, all we need is a sensor that detects whether you've eaten pie in the past hour.

For which I think Masimo might have a patent.

Ca. mid-1990s:

Those three weird glyphs on the cover of "Ghost in the Machine" are LED 'drawings' that represent the members of the band. Squinting helps, because…

(L-R) Andy Summers, Sting, Stewart Copeland.

I've always revered this record, and it took me well over a decade to realize this insanely obvious thing.

Yeah, I think at this point, shittiness has become an international flu.

Someday, I’ll share my recipe for Hillbilly Charcuterie.

It boasts a bold and rustic flavor profile and should always be served on a costly paper plate.

Makes it feel even fancier.
