This iPhone update sucks. Why on earth would you make the buttons transparent and endlessly animated?

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Dear "news" web site owners: if your "news" article doesn't have in the first paragraph information about the actual thing I clicked through to learn about, I will block your entire domain henceforth, learn how to fucking write a news article god damn it
