What’s inside Apple’s $129 Thunderbolt cable? We CT scanned one to find out, and compared it to some cheaper cables… 🧵

My kid wandering around our home with my phone in her pocket blasting Revolting Children and the alphabet song from the new Matilda is a sitch I am so extremely on board with. The former is the anthem I want for my kids, what a fucking banger.

The movie itself is awesome, if you’re a parent and haven’t seen it yet.

Hi friends! Sarah and I would like to update our plateware (which predominantly sports that post-college just-graduated vibe). Current North Star is Heath, but curious what other beautiful options others might have discovered? Do you have plates/bowls/servingware you love?

Advance copy of the *checks notes* 5th printing of the Aviary book - copy #75,001. We check to verify the print run went as expected.
Sarah and I change the bookmark and head/tail band color each time we print, mostly to amuse ourselves but also to better keep track of them.

Hi twittery friends, a question about colors:
I would like to use some code to pick some colors that look nice as a family, e.g. from a palette like those found here:

So, like, maybe I make a big folder of cool 70's movie posters, and have an intelligent way of picking, say, 5 colors from those that aren't too close together in HSV.

But I want something scalable, so curating hundreds of movie posters probably won't work well. How else could I do this?

A quick thread about something I find interesting:
A specific visual aesthetic that is 100% lost to time.
It's just gone. Nobody cares about it. Nobody is replicating it for nostalgia. Most people don't even know how it was done.
Let's start with this video (via @stevesi)…

A fluid solve from the guy who taught me how to do it years ago, Chris Horvath.

Hey stylish friends;
I need new glasses. What’s your favorite place (online or locally in Chicago, if the latter resides in your experience) to shop for frames (and/or lenses)?
I’m squinting particularly in your direction, @MaxBickley, inimitable gentleman of style.
