NewJeans torpedoing their own careers, all for a woman that - based on the lyrics of Cookie - never had these girls' best interest at heart. What a shame. #kpop
Regarding NewJeans: I suspect they are in the wrong, but I'm rooting for them anyway because I'm certainly not rooting for a company in an exploitative industry that hasn't given me any reason to.

I honestly don't know what's more annoying at this point - people that won't shut up about using AI, or people that won't shut up about how much they hate it.

I’m pretty sure I am the curse that kills small/light iPhones.
The Air is my favorite phone since the Mini, so I’m gonna be sad when Apple inevitably stops making it after next year.

I finally played and beat Tears of the Kingdom, and I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed playing a game that much.

I finally remembered that the Demon Slayer Infinty Castle movie exists.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?
MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

Setting up a new router is a huge PITA, but I finally upgraded my ER-X with a UniFi Express 7.

BREAKING- Scientists have confirmed that the speed of light is no longer the fastest thing in the universe. Researchers announced today that the new record holder is the speed at which Android fanboys insert themselves into Apple discussions to point out that Android already has a new iPhone feature

One time during a college class, my friend Ed (RIP) and I Skyped each other (they were also in class many states away), and we sat there with our mics/speakers muted and had little windows of each other's video up while trying not to laugh in the middle of class.

If the iPhone Air had 3x or greater telephoto, it would be the perfect phone. This is legitimately the only compromise for me.

Liquid Glass is so weird. “Reduce Transparency” just turns it off, and “increase contrast” reduces transparency but puts borders around everything. Instead, I’ve just resigned myself to being unable to easily read my notifications. It’s pretty for sure, but what a weird usability whiff by Apple.

I decided to keep the Air. I love the new back design and color of the Pro, but holding it felt like more of the same, and I wasn't super excited about it. The Air feels like something new, like I'm just holding a screen. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Started off the day waiting on a 17 Pro order, ended up making a last minute Air order. Right now I’m leaning toward the Air. I just wish it was ✨ orange ✨

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target

Has anyone heard from the “Kamala isn’t perfect so I’m voting for Jill Stein” people lately? How are they doing?

@reckless.bsky.social It’s kind of a bad look to paywall a story about tariffs IMO. More people need to read this, not fewer. Otherwise, y’all are doing some of the best work covering this dumb timeline we live in. www.theverge.com/analysis/769...
