Reasons That I, a Billionaire, Am Still Miserable

The yacht’s Wi-Fi became weak for almost forty-five seconds while crossing the Mediterranean, forcing me to experience what experts call “a thought.” My personal chef interpreted “comfort food” as “deconstructed truffle-infused childhood,” when what I wanted was a grilled ch...

Walmart Finally Caves, Will Soon Support Apple Pay

corporate.walmart.com/news/2026/08/21/more-ways-to-pay-tap-to-pay-is-coming-to-walmart-and-sams-club

Walmart:

When we think about convenience, we think about a lot of things, but making shopping feel simpler and more seamless from start to finish is a big part. And one of the moments where that matters most is at checkout.

We want customers and members to have choice in how they pay, so they can check out in the way that works best for them. Now, beginning Aug. 24, we will be adding Tap to Pay to our payment options at select Walmart stores and Sam’s Club locations, with plans to roll it out to all U.S. stores and clubs by the end of 2026 and to fuel stations by mid-2027.

When I think about convenience, I think about CurrentC, scanning stupid-ass QR codes, and waiting 12 years to adopt Apple Pay.

While working on a new blog post, I asked AI a question about my older blog posts and it showed me this one from 2016: Blog when you disagree. I still think this is a powerful aspect of blogging. Posting to your own blog is inherently independent. You post for yourself instead of for a community.
