The Supreme Court Has Invented a Right to Discriminate. “The Roberts Court has replaced the Fifteenth Amendment’s ban on racial discrimination in voting with a right to engage in racial discrimination in voting.”

It's almost time for the World Cup. Before the tournament, we'll be previewing each of the top 15 teams by FIFA rankings that made the tournament. Why the top 15? Because that's how many we needed to do in order for the USMNT to make the cut. You can read all of our pre...

Expanding Apple Foundation Models to support image inputs and running in private cloud compute is a huge upgrade. The old models really weren’t capable enough for me, which is why I’m experimenting with bundling Gemma 4 directly in the Micro.blog app.

I feel bad saying this for all the Apple employees who dedicated so many hours preparing for WWDC, but I lose interest after an hour. Perfect keynote length would be about 70 minutes, not 100.

Fifteen years after ‘The Book of Mormon’ made its Broadway debut, original cast members Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad once again took the stage as Mormon missionaries — this time at the 2026 Tony Awards. Created and written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (the duo behind ‘South ...

“[Scott] Pelley’s firing came after [Bari] Weiss dismissed several of his colleagues and hired a new 60 Minutes boss, Nick Bilton, whom Pelley then clashed with in a staff meeting. Pelley, along with a number of other 60 Minutes correspondents who were fired, have now accuse...

Apple didn’t try to take on too much with Siri AI. Only features they could actually ship. It looks good, but long term I still think using apps is the wrong strategy for assistants, because they can’t work well across platforms. It’ll work for now, and for privacy some people will prefer it.

Nominations are open for this year’s Tiny Awards. “The Tiny Awards exist because we thought it was important to shine a spotlight on the sorts of personal web projects that tend to get overlooked.”

The British government thinks a state-backed infrastructure initiative will help supercharge homegrown chip startups.

I like in these Siri AI demos that they are doing things “live” (though recorded). It’s not fast, but it seems much more clearly actually working without edits.

A little surprised Apple is spending so much time in the keynote on safety for kids. It’s good, though! Thinking it helps set the stage for all the age-related laws from states, and we’ll return to safety and privacy during the Siri section later.

In my apps Inkwell and Micro.blog 4.0, I put a semi-opaque view under the toolbar to improve readability on macOS 26. Maybe won’t be needed in macOS Golden Gate. Expecting we’ll need little tweaks for each OS now.

Anthropic has announced a limited-time promotion that doubles users’ five-hour usage limits in Claude Cowork. Announced on Monday, it’s sure

The post Why Anthropic just doubled Claude Cowork limits at no charge appeared first on The New Stack.

The code WIRED identified is gone from the latest version of Meta AI, the companion app for the company’s smart glasses. Meta won’t say why or whether it’s coming back.

For a World Cup host nation, the soccer is largely incidental. Even more obviously disposable are soaring ideas of bringing the international community together in a peaceful celebration of yadda yadda. In the case of the United States under the Trump administration, the poi...

For the fourth time, nominations for this year's Tiny Awards celebrating the "best of the small, poetic, creative, handmade web" are open.

Looks like good refinements to Liquid Glass on Mac. Also, feels almost bold to name this release Golden Gate. Maybe this’ll be a big one.

Coffee this morning at Voltaire in San Jose. For a moment, I considered walking back to the hotel with my laptop cracked open to let AI finish what it was working on… That would be too perfectly Silicon Valley. ☕️

Om Malik with a great blog post exploring Anthropic’s naming for Mythos and Project Glasswing:

Project Glasswing is the same move. The name suggests something fragile and transparent, a butterfly with see-through wings. The project is opaque. Only the trusted can see it. The name performs openness so the structure does not have to.

Interesting question and resulting thread: have you talked with someone who was alive in the 1800s? I think I technically have (a relative in the 80s when I was a kid) but I don’t remember the circumstances. Anyone have a good memory to share?
