Man, this would have been awesome.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

"we are going to murder americans without due process"

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Noem says they arrested "the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa." You probably don't know her, though; she goes to a different school.

lest anyone think the girlfriend line was a hilarious joke I concocted...

A dream given form.

Well, I guess I have some work to do on that costume.

More good than bad, honestly.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

That I couldn't say. That's not a common use case for me.

Whenever my mother travels and tries to use her laptop on public wifi, she'll text me to say she can't get it working, and I'll explain that she has to connect to the wifi network first. This has happened 20 or so times. You might think she would remember at some point, but you would be wrong.

I love not having to do that. 😂

Honestly, the only smart features I use on a regular basis are Apple Pay and checking the weather. Otherwise, it's all stuff any digital watch made in the last 30 years can do.
tyranicus.net
Yep, that's the conclusion I draw too.

The Apple Watch is definitely one where I don't feel compelled to update until I have a problem with the one I have. I actually just checked mine to see which model it was because I honestly had no idea. Turns out it's a series 7.

Oh wow. I'm impressed it still has a battery that gets you through the day!

If you do choose to get them, be aware that there are two versions of the AirPods 4, one with active noise cancelling, and a cheaper model without.

No noise-cancelling headphones are perfect, but these are pretty good. They almost completely block out my window AC unit.

The spatial audio is pretty impressive too. I was just listening to the Dolby Atmos mix of Prince's When Doves Cry, and these tiny little buds in my ears to make it sound like the music is coming from all around me.

I just got a pair of AirPods 4. The active noise cancelling feels like black magic. That's the only explanation I have for how headphones that don't have a seal in or over the ears can do this so well.

The plot of the next Simpsons movie should be the kids at Springfield Elementary digging up a time capsule that was buried 40 years ago and realizing they're the same children who buried it because their world hasn't aged in 4 decades.

If all goes well, bustin' will make them feel good.

Well, based on the warning, Mikey should wait until he's 14 to use them. 😂
