    This thing where Safari now changes the UI header colors to match the site you’re looking at is just hideously bad design. A hill I will die on.

    Being Ted Lasso is funny because people can’t quite figure out whether I’m Ted or just make disastrous grooming decisions.

    whole metaverse thing isn’t complex guys and gals we spend all day with our eyeballs glued to our screens, so naturally people are working on glueing the screens to our eyeballs identity, interop, navigable worlds, yada yada. we mostly have it, it’s just “standard def” today

    It’s a crazy time in venture: new entrants, disruptive models, generational change, $ influx, and it is very hard to make a firm prediction on how it plays in the next decade. It’s so great. May the stale die away, and the most agile and best for founders survive. Love it.

    A few weeks ago I asked if anyone had used Fubo versus Sling for OTT -- after being a Sling customer for years, I'm pretty firmly now in the Fubo camp. UI is better, app is more responsive, they're showing lots more 4k streams (including the World Series).

    Offered without comment. (I mean: I have a LOT of comments about this. But will keep them to myself.)

    update: the market today is valuing Trump's new media company at >$9.5 B. That would make it worth more than the New York Times Co.
