Switched to light mode on my iPhone and iPad after years of dark mode. Feels like walking out of a movie theater during the day into the sunlight. Getting used to how bright it is, but I really like the colors and looks of apps in light mode better.

Listening to Rage Against the Machine while snow blowing this morning was a great choice. “Wake Up”, especially, should be required listening for everyone in 2025. @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social

Vance is openly calling for the end of the constitutional order here, which is a betrayal of his oath of office. It is as plain as day now, Loper Bright ain’t gonna save you
Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

Has anyone studied how much alcohol consumption has increased in the US in the past 2 weeks and then cross referenced that by political affiliation? I would bet some solid money it’s way up. This dumpster fire is getting worse by the minute.

Is there a way in Shortcuts to detect if I’m connected to CarPlay? I want to change what my Action Button does whether it’s in CarPlay or not. @matthewcassinelli.bsky.social @stephenrobles.com @viticci.macstories.net maybe one of you knows the answer?

Really hoping more sports folks move over here to Bluesky. A lot of my favorite soccer feeds are here already, but golf, and Formula 1 particularly I'd love to see more of over here.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and hangs out with a bunch of other ducks, and writes for a german newspaper saying vote for the alt-right duck party, and does a nazi salute like a duck... my dude, that's a duck and you should throw away your duckmobile.

It's ok to unfollow people to try and get away from political discourse for a while. I'm mostly saying this for myself, but prioritizing your own mental health is important. It doesn't mean you don't care or that you don't want to see a positive change in the world.

If anyone from Apple’s Screen Time or Parental Controls team somehow sees this, please add an option to prevent kids from permanently deleting text messages from the Recently Deleted section. Or deleting at all.

Shrinking named an episode “The Drugs Don’t Work” and I waited the whole time to hear this song and they never played it. Now I have it on repeat. The episode and all of season 2 was fantastic, by the way. music.apple.com/us/album/the...

Been using the Apple Podcasts app for the past week or two after having too many crashes with Overcast lately. Enjoying Apple Podcasts, but it’s not good at syncing between devices. Having listening position or played status sync between my iPhone and iPad is rough.
