I'm everywhere. Twitter, Threads, IG, YT. Often here on Mastodon: @[email protected]
I wonder why anyone bothers running for Mayor of New York — you end up universally reviled. The current jackass will be in charge of this weekend's snowstorm!

I wish I had a true enemy to gift this to. Maybe I can FedEx it to my brother @brianforcanada.bsky.social (he is my dear buddy and he would be very upset to receive this!) 😘💎

Wooooo 2 hour delivery in USA & Canada. Eat it, Australia, with your 3 hour delivery! I bet the MacBooks arrive upside down too! 🦘🙃

I guess I was worried Trump would try to rename something actually important like an existing airport, rather than a "battleship" which will never exist and a fighter plane which probably will. Well there's plenty of time …

I heard about it yesterday — Bowen Yang is exactly the Craid Federighi of each others’ shows. They were so clumsy and nervous at first and became expert. Happy Trails, Bowen!

Wow, recall I love xMas music.

This is truly dreadful. I am going to actually delete it from iTunes Match.

Wow that was an amazing performance (only chit-chat talking) by Taylor Swift on the Colbert Late Show. I didn't realize she is actually really stupid!

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Remember, Australian children, there are no direct flights between Sydney and Stockholm so allow more than 1 day to process your tooth fairy money into Mullvad.

They do (seriously) accept raw dollar bills if you write your account number.

I wonder if my AppleID can tell an app that it was once called iTools and it's older than the developer is.
How Apple is Helping Apps Comply With Australia's Social Media Ban for Kids
How Apple is Helping Apps Comply With Australia's Social Media Ban for Kids
Australia's new social media law goes into effect on December 10, 2025, and ahead of that date, Apple is sharing information on developer tools that are designed to help social media apps adhere to the law. Children under the age of 16 will no longer be allowed to use Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube (except for YouTube Kids), Snapchat, X, Twitch, Threads, and Kick in Australia, and those apps have to take "reasonable steps" to remove underage users from their platforms starting Wednesday. Apps will also need to prevent new signups from users under the age of 16, and there is a one-year transition period before penalties will begin. To assist developers, Apple provides the Declared Age Range API, which gives developers access to the age range of users. Other tools available include an option for an age suitability URL that provides more information on the app and its age-related content, app description pages that indicate age restrictions, and tools for setting higher minimum age ranges. Platforms that don't deactivate accounts created by children will face serious fines. Australia may also add more apps to its banned list over time, depending on the apps that kids adopt after not being able to access their current favorites. Australia is the first country to implement a total social media ban for children. More information is available on Apple's developer website.Tags: App Store, Australia This article, "How Apple is Helping Apps Comply With Australia's Social Media Ban for Kids" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

[luckily none of my relatives are on b'sky]

I was musing with my favored chatbot (microsoft) that I would like to have a lil treadmill to worry my legs while I watch tv shows. And it said no, it'll be a thousand dollars.

Now who's gonna fall and break his arm for walmart blackfriday $80!

Unlikely Animal Friends Two — Electric Boogaloo? 🐰🐸

Not every thing to appease a mad king is inherently bad. And I'm sure it makes plenty more people than me nervous to have literally all of Apple's CPU manufacturing on one "disputed" island some people worry could be a war zone.

I assumed I could find a $50 hamster wheel for a human for when I drink gin and watch Colbert. My trusted AI bot told me that is unsafe and implausible.

Guess what Walmart Black Friday Sez!

Alright, the year off the label is maybe why I got it on the clearance rack at Food Lion, but I might try this stuff out. I hate maple syrup and also pancakes, but I asked an AI bot for an alternative, and maybe agave syrup might be nice. I did get summa that (advice?)… 🌵
