Rollie Pemberton was barely a teenager when he started rapping. His hometown, Edmonton, didn’t have much of a hip-hop scene in the early aughts, so he honed his craft online. He plugged an old-school microphone into his mom’s desktop computer, recorded a few verses, later turned them into tracks, and sent them out into the burgeoning music blogosphere. Within a few years, he’d adopted the emcee name Cadence Weapon and earned a reputation as a shrewd critic and sharp lyricist.

My current concern with iOS 26 is not any of the developer stuff, it’s the Phone app! I consistently see caching problems where the UI is out of sync with the notification badge, and missing voicemails until I force quit. Never seen this many problems in a core Apple app before.

President Donald Trump stopped allowing small shipments to enter the country without paying tariffs. Now, things are getting pricier and shipping costs are going up.

Do mine own eyes deceive me?! Or did my colleague Barry Petchesky really write a garbage blog called "I Submit To You That Popcorn Is A Bad Movie Snack" on the website we co-own? What fresh heresy is this?

Usually, when someone has a take this hot, we present their take in a point-counterpoint where some reason and honesty can be added to the discussion. But Barry must have known how unfounded this blog was, as he did not give me the opportunity to reply. Well, guess what Barry? I can write my own blog! And in my blog I submit that you do not know what the hell you are talking about!

Pretty heads down at WordCamp US, which has had amazing energy and talks so far. I wanted to take a moment to note two things, first being a great essay from Dave Winer asking people to Think Different about WordPress. I’ve done this before — asked people to think differently about things, like public writing, … Continue reading Think Different →

Drew is a professional, and so he can be counted on to deliver a pro-grade honking of "We're back" at the top of every episode of The Distraction. So you will have to believe me when I say that, this week, the big fella was grinning, downright bubbly, and quite literally clad in a new J.J. McCarthy road-white Vikings jersey when he said the line. Yes, we're back every week. But this week, especially, we are back.

Moments after losing to Taylor Townsend in the second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday afternoon, Jelena Ostapenko did what she does best: freak out and make a scene. The 26th-ranked Ostapenko has a history of not taking a loss well, and after getting completely blitzed by world No. 139 Townsend in the second set for a 7-5, 6-1 defeat, it seemed likely that she'd reprise her patented drive-by handshake. Instead, she held onto Townsend's hand for an extra beat, then argued with her opponent for a half-minute as the crowd showered her with boos.

Brent Simmons reminiscing about Frontier and why modern development environments aren’t as good:

I’m not saying apps these days need to be Frontier-like in any details. But it seems absolutely bizarre to me that we — we who write Mac and iOS apps — still have to build and run the app, make changes, build and run the app, and so on, all day long. In the year 2025.

I also used Frontier a lot during that time. It was great. Personally, instead of Swift, I would’ve loved to see RubyCocoa taken to the next level. And with React Native we do have some of the quick iteration Brent blogs about.

Threads is testing long-form text attachments on posts. Not good. It would centralized blog-like content that should be on someone’s own site.
