What are we doing here? Like, who voted for this? How is this a remotely reasonable thing to happen in a free country?

I'm pretty happy with Apple News+ as a way to access some local news, but I really wish Apple would connect public web articles (behind paywall) to the private in-app version (available, because I paid). Like a "Read this in News+?" banner in Safari. Workaround is the in-app search, and it's *bad*.

I'm just a guy on the internet, but I sincerely do not understand why I'm not seeing ads from the DNC every day, on every video platform, of the form "This normal-seeming person had their life upended by the Trump administration; we want to stop that from happening".

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Sometimes I close my laptop and pick up my phone to see what the little internet is up to, presumably.

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?" Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

Extremist Utah legislature, grumpy about pride flags, passes a law that only official flags from an approved list are allowed to be displayed in schools & on government property. Salt Lake City, on the list, responds by making the pride flag one of their city flags. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...
