Fires are still burning in Canada.

New fires – some caused by lightning – raged in Quebec in early June, prompting evacuations and air quality warnings.

@nasa’s Aqua satellite captured this image of smoke from the fires on June 3, 2023. https://go.nasa.gov/3oQEN10

Wildfire season is off to an, um, early start this year:

Hello #Apple #VisionPro
https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/06/introducing-apple-vision-pro/

Why do all of Apple’s new computing platforms have no answer for development? Like, I can’t use their new platforms to build. Not iPhone, not iPad, not Vision. It’s still the Mac doing the heavy lifting. Touch apps built on a mouse based system. 3D apps built on a 2D system. Apple is missing out on apps developed for these systems on these systems. The Mac is a mess. But apparently it’s the mess that works for this messy world.

“Dad… what are you doing?”
“I’M CAPTURING THIS SPECIAL MOMENT”

High school bullies rejoice as years of pinching nipples gives them a competitive edge in the AR future of Apple Vision Pro.

A new meme is born

They've already done what people say is impossible to do by 2035.
