From Beatles break-up to John’s murder, a look at Paul’s transformation
Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville tells us about his new film, ‘Man on The Run.’It begins when the Beatles end, with Paul McCartney trying to figure out who he is as a musician and as a person— without John Lennon and the band that defined him since he was a teenager.

Studio Display vs. Studio Display XDR
Not sure if this page was there yesterday, but the main “Displays” page at Apple’s website is a spec-by-spec comparison between the regular and XDR models. Nice.
The Washington Post reporting on how Claude is being used for the Iran war:
As planning for a potential strike in Iran was underway, Maven, powered by Claude, suggested hundreds of targets, issued precise location coordinates, and prioritized those targets according to importance, said two of the people. The pairing of Maven and Claude has created a tool that is speeding the pace of the campaign…
On social media, we like to pick sides and oversimplify. OpenAI vs. Anthropic! But war is tragic and complicated. I have mixed feelings about all of this.

New York Or Nowhere, With Will Menaker
This week on the show, we were thrilled to be joined by Will Menaker. You probably know Will from his work on the Chapo Trap House podcast, but he is also a ball-knower extraordinaire and hardcore New York Knicks fan, and it was a treat to have him.
We talked about what makes the Knicks uniquely infuriating; the Luke Kornet Medium blog post about the Atlanta Hawks' Magic City Night; and why rooting for a bad team makes you a good person. We also spent the last half-hour or so talking about the state of NBA player activism and the ways that sports fandom is and is not a vector into learning about the world or developing a political consciousness. It was a fun one!
