Happy 50th, Apple

Back in 26.4 beta

Frustrating that streaming TV shows have a recap before each episode, which is completely unnecessary since I'm often watching episodes back-to-back, and new books in a series have no recap yet it's been years since I read the previous one.

We need recaps in books, not TV.

A screenshot of NYT's Spelling Bee, and it's not allowing chimicurri as an answer

I'm disappointed @nytgames.bsky.social

2020 was weird

Monday, Aug 18, 2025 — Apple News+ Emoji Game

I've been enjoying Apple's new emoji game. One of my fav new daily games in a while apple.news/JdfosH1XnSZS...

Thanks!

I think this one super zoomed in works well. See what I mean about lots of colors and sharp lines?

@stfj.net got my long term puzzle mode game back to being completely flat 😎

@basicappleguy.com this new Apple wallpaper is noisy and colorful with sharp edges. I think that works well with liquid glass. I could use something with similar attributes, but in your style! explore.appleservices.apple/heres-to-the...

AI is so transformative for language learning that it's hard to imagine learning a language without one. It's like having a tutor available at all times to answer any question, or provide a translation at any time, no matter how trivial.

I want a sequel to Untitled Goose Games with a Canada Goose

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Seems like a good night to watch The Pianist

none of this would've ever happened if twitter had just kept Vine around

Also, fuck the NYT for printing this propaganda.

Only took a month for them to make me regret renewing my subscription

Prepping to annex a sovereign nation, obviously

These are beautiful

Debating the morality of posting new IG stories.

Every sharing app I've used eventually gets ruined (X) or taken away (Reader).

SZA released a (great) song called "Kitchen" and Siri refuses to play it anywhere but in the kitchen 😅

Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating

Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands

I thought some good might come of this, this sucks

I thought the era of music being part of new core memories was over for me, but it happened again in my 40s.

Only just found out SZA finally released Lana. I had given up checking, was sure it would be out next year.

SOS defined 2023 for me; I was listening to it constantly while looking for a new job in Dec 2022, and then while starting that new job in early 2023.

Blue and Orange seem like a good combination lately

I've got a Bambino on the way. Curious where you're going with this

holy pho

@nytimes.com Connections sure is heavy on alcohol. Y'all ok?

Just reading the wikipedia page on it 😬
