Presented without context as a sort of friend of pelicans riding bicycles. How to make a peanut butter sandwich in Shakespearean rhyming iambic pentameter.
“Begin with two soft slices, fresh and white,
Then spread the peanut butter smooth and thin.
Upon one slice, extend it left and right,
Until no patch of bread remains within.
Now place the second slice upon the first,
Then press it lightly till the edges meet.
Be sure the bread stays whole and does not burst;
A gentle touch will keep the sandwich neat.
Next take a knife and cut the bread in two,
Then set each half upon a waiting plate.
Now choose the half that looks the best to you,
And lift it up; the moment will not wait.
Now take a bite and taste the simple cheer;
Your sandwich now is done, so draw it near.”

The latest on Apple’s HomeView, new Apple TV and HomePod mini ahead of Tuesday.
Power On: Apple spent a decade losing the smart home. Now it has a plan to compete: HomeView, a new Apple TV and HomePod mini, and LG-built accessories. Tuesday’s unveiling is about protecting the iPhone as much as outfitting your house. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

can’t wait to test this out, heard very good things
We are deeply saddened by the loss of David Hockney, a visionary and friend to Apple. David showed that creativity has no limits, turning iPad into a canvas for some of the most vibrant art of our time. His legacy will inspire us all to see the world a little more beautifully.
My mother passed away peacefully this morning. She was surrounded by loved ones yesterday and held my older sister’s hand all night and into the morning. I am sad and I miss her, but I am so glad we were able to tell her again how much we love her and how thankful we are to have been part of her life. Though her body was tired, her wit and humor shined through until the very end. Love you, mom.

I do miss the days when hot food rode around in the back of cars waiting to be ordered.
Taste is (and always has been) a superpower.
Prediction: In the AI age, taste will become even more important. When anyone can make anything, the big differentiator is what you choose to make.

This was a lot of fun to watch, thanks for sharing! Balance of depth and runtime was great too.
