TIL in equestrian dressage events there are many competitors in their 50s and 60s.
Imagine being at the airport trying to get to Paris arguing with TSA about your riding helmet
“But I’m an Olympian, I need this for my event!”
“Yeah riiiight… hey anyone want to pat down this lyin’ grandpa over here?”

Got off a plane at LAX to this accidentally cinematic view

The 2nd place GOP candidate for president out there celebrating the genocide of civilians.
She was always as bad as Trump.

classic rookie mistake: said "yes" to a iOS update in the middle of me making dinner which included the music playing on the HomePod and the timer on my potatoes in the oven.
now the question is: will it remember the cooking timer once it finally reboots?! Also, when you send music to a HomePod, doesn't it just play on its own, separate from your phone? Ugh.

trying to wrap my head around the guy in front of me in the airport TSA Pre line who had no idea giant plastic bottles of water you bought at the store weren’t allowed through security.
The rule has been in place for what, 23 years? How did he even end up in the TSA Pre line?

In March of 1997 WIRED Magazine published their cover story on how browsers might soon disappear as everyone would prefer stuff pushed to them instead of discovered via following links.
It was widely panned and browsers are still very much alive today but I have to say when I look at Instagram and TikTok, those are all-Push content apps and maybe WIRED got it a little bit correct?

There's nothing like an airport at 6am to teach you which strangers near you are giant Las Vegas hotel fountains of anxiety, spraying all over everyone

[online stores if they were brick and mortar stores]
me: huh, I’ve always wanted to check this place out, I’m going in
giant man blocking the door: YOU WANT TO SAVE 10% ON YOUR FIRST PURCHASE? Give me your goddamned email, now!
me: whoa, can I just look around first?
giant man at door: fine but only if you tap the “no, I don’t want to save money” button before you go inside

Found this old screenshot of the Find My Friends on my iPad and it’s really remarkable how far Apple design has moved in 10+ years

I love nothing more than to read blog posts written by nerds fueled by stubbornness and spite. Reading this glorious post on why a pedestrian bridge to seemingly nowhere exists is like listening to a full season of a true-crime podcast. No spoilers, but there is definitely a satisfying conclusion. https://tylervigen.com/the-mystery-of-the-bloomfield-bridge
