Casey Liss blogs some initial reactions to WWDC, including on the new iPad multitasking:

They work well with a finger, but work great with a pointing device. The new multitasking mechanism will remove many of the shackles I feel when using my iPad Pro. I no longer feel like I’m trying to wade through wet cement when using it. I don’t feel like I’m bending to its needs — rather, it’s bending to mine.

We’ll be doing a couple betas of Micro.blog for iOS, whenever Apple approves it. If you’d like to be on the latest version, you can sign up on TestFlight. I tend to do short betas — just a few days or week and then it’ll ship to everyone.

Trying Dia, which is now available if you had an Arc account. It is very interesting. Not sure yet whether I will stick with it, or go back to Arc.

Michelle Cooper took her time. When Temwa Chawinga sent a slow ball to the space in front of her—a ball Chawinga only had because of a turnover Cooper had caused—she moved laterally with it, waiting for it to come across her body. She timed her steps and her shot perfectly. The moment she arrived to the ball was when she had maximum space from both Emily Sonnett and Ann-Katrin Berger, who were moving toward her from opposite directions. But once each piece was aligned—Berger and Sonnett out of the way, the ball on her preferred right foot, and her body faced up toward the net—she pounced. Without any superfluous touches, she slotted the ball inside the far post, past Berger’s desperate reach. 

She could afford to be patient. It was only the third minute of the match.

Experts say that disrupting the electrification plans for the US car fleet could lead to long-term pain.

When I was in college, I had to drive 35 miles from San Marcos to Austin to visit Planned Parenthood. The first time I drove there in 2016, I didn’t know the way and the traffic on Interstate 35 overwhelmed me. For someone like me, young, uninsured, and terrified of driving in a big city, […]

Welcome to Ask The Book Doctor, a recurring series about books and reading them.

It's natural to fall out of reading simply because of circumstance. Every time I am on vacation, I devour books—put me on a plane, any plane, and I'll finish a book. But plop me back in my normal life where the shelves are dusty and the groceries need to be bought and my friends are going to a bar after work, and the appeal of picking up a book diminishes. It is easy to allow yourself to build a world in your mind when you have space there. It is much harder to make the words on the page into pictures when your mind is far too busy with other obligations.

Trying to figure out how Leon Draisaitl's game-winning goal found glory when it barely found 30 mph is a waste of your time. What you should be noticing instead in the wake of Edmonton's wonderfully absurdist 5–4 overtime victory over Florida in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Fin...

"Who me?" asks the Democrat. Yes, you.

BTW isn't it amazing that when you say something counter to Democratic dogma, their first impulse is to try to destroy you personally? "Who me?" asks the Democrat. Yes, you.

Having a Democrat rise from the ashes of metoo is just the right thing to say to voters who were rebelling against wokeness. Cuomo was never tried or convicted of any crime, or voted out of office by the state assembly or senate in Albany, or the people of the state of New Y...
