Hot Water Balloon

Despite a reputation for safety, the temperatures and surprisingly high pressures make them even more dangerous than the air kind, but the NTSB refuses to investigate accidents because they insist there is no 'transportation' involved.

The Senate remains far apart on resolving the ongoing government shutdown. But the battle for public opinion on who’s to blame has shifted. Republicans appear split on whether to negotiate on health-care costs, as Democrats are demanding. And polling shows voters blame the G...

Harness CEO Jyoti Bansal on Why AI Coding Doesn’t Help You Ship Faster

Harness co-founder Jyoti Bansal highlights a growing issue in software development: while AI tools help generate more code, they often create bottlenecks further along the pipeline, especially in testing in this New Stack Agents episode.

Apple Newsroom on the Immersive Vision Pro Lakers Broadcasts

apple.com/newsroom/2025/10/spectrum-brings-nba-games-in-apple-immersive-to-apple-vision-pro/

Apple Newsroom:

In addition to live games for fans in the Lakers’ regional broadcast territory — which covers Southern California, Hawaii, and parts of southern Nevada, including Las Vegas — full game replays and highlights will be available to Apple Vision Pro users in select countries and regions from both the SportsNet and NBA apps. These live games will be captured using the new URSA Cine Immersive Live camera from Blackmagic Design, a version of the camera that launched earlier this year to capture Apple Immersive for Vision Pro, and will be available for purchase next year.

I didn’t catch yesterday that these immersive broadcasts would only be available live within the Lakers’ local broadcast territory, which stinks, but alas, makes sense given how sports broadcasting rights work.

Oatmeal on AI Art

Reading Oatmeal stuff is always such a seesaw for me. It’s so riddled with like boobshark jokes and I’m like, yeah yeah ha ha. I don’t hate that kind of humor or find it offensive, I just don’t think it’s very funny. Then it’s also so riddled with such earnest heartfelt well-articulated thoughts that I’m […]

The Zippy Brewers Appear To Have Misplaced Their Magic
For the second game in a row, the Milwaukee Brewers allowed a handful of first-inning runs en route to a loss. Unlike in Wednesday's close and competitive 4-3 defeat in Game 3, the Brewers in Game 4 would not have fared too much worse had they hired out their jobs to a squad...

What I’ll Remember About The Phillies

What I’ll Remember About The Phillies

At the Phillies' 2025 home opener, we decided that it was our year.

As my friend Dana and I stood next to the giant balloon arch and let someone take our photo, people around us were feeling optimistic about "winning it all" and "getting a ring." Dana and I talked about how happy we were to be back, how good it felt to return to the ballpark we spend all summer in each summer, how fresh the grass smelled, and how grateful we were that the long offseason was over. This first game was against the Rockies, so it was also fun because we never doubted that the team would win. They did, 6-1.

Eagles Fans Can Go Ahead And Freak Out Now

Eagles Fans Can Go Ahead And Freak Out Now

In the immortal words of Comrade Xu, "There's no need to overcomplicate things." In discussing how the Philadelphia Phillies failed to beat the Los Angeles Thanos, that simple sentence explained in near-totality how stuff typically happens to and for people and teams. It's just sports, and in sports stuff happens.

But, and surely you knew a "but" was coming because why else do blogs exist, sometimes complicating things in the most drug-aided and byzantine ways is exactly what the moment requires. Especially in football, where the sport must make 17 games feel like 166 (the Phillies' final total) or 169 and counting (the Cubs). For that math to work, some complication is required. In rare cases this requires a near religious experience, but a Thursday night loss to the New York Giants will suffice in a pinch.
