Looking at @BasicAppleGuy’s post comparing Tahoe to Golden Gate macOS icons, literally every single one is better in Golden Gate.

Now if we could just get icons for Photos, Journal, and Shortcuts that actually hinted at what app they were for might do, that would be greeeaaaat, k?

Also, could someone at Apple please, for the love of God, either give us options to change the color of the Music icon and its accompanying graphics therein (especially on iOS), or pick a better color than that garish neon pink?

This is a nifty little interactive map tool that Eric. S Raymond posted about on Twitter X, where you can select all the states you’ve visited. Here’s mine:

As of June 1, 2026, I’ve been to 32 states (well, 31 plus DC), or 63% of total.

Just gave X-Sinner’s Goin’ Out With A Bang the first all-the-way-thru listen, and man, if you wanted some new AC/DC reminiscent of their “Thunderstruck” days, but with biblical lyrics, this is definitely your jam.

If, like me, you were working today and missed the second running of the Wienie 500, never fear. Courtesy of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the full replay is on YouTube. It’s like one long dad joke with double entendres, and it is GLORIOUS.

On the latest episode of the Empowered Parent Podcast, we continue our discussion on trauma-informed care. We share stories and examples of the practical application of connected parenting ideas and how they can be used to build trust.

In the ’80s TV show Airwolf, Jan-Michael Vincent’s character, Stringfellow Hawke, played the cello. So it’s only natural that someone (in this case, Samara Ginsberg), has arranged the show’s ’80s-techno theme song for the cello. Eight, in fact:

Happy pub day to Jack Stewart and Chad Robichaux! 🎉

The democratization of Bible reading, a process begun by Martin Luther in Germany, became a potent force of liberation. Reformers soon wielded the Bible to confront oppressive political and religious regimes. The Protestant defenders of England’s Glorious Revolution of 1689, which deposed an autocratic monarch and established a constitutional government, were armed with a biblical text deeply rooted in Tyndale’s translation.

So, too, were colonial Americans. As the historian Daniel Dreisbach has observed, the King James Bible was “the most accessible, authoritative, and venerated text in early colonial society.” Thus in 1776, even Thomas Paine, a religious skeptic, drew from the Bible to make his famous case for American Independence. “That the Almighty hath here entered his protest against monarchical government is true,” he wrote, “or the scripture is false.”

Great article by Joseph Loconte celebrating 500 years of the first English translation of the Bible.
