I thought Siri was supposed to be good now?

At least this one believes in a future for physical discs.

TFW you knock your AirPod out of your ear while walking on the treadmill and you watch it hit the belt and shoot across the room like it was loaded into a railgun

TFW you get a self-help book and it has a quiz at the beginning. You take it and it tells you “Hey man, I can’t help you, you should talk to a professional” 😅

Hi. We're in the Age of Diarrhea. I'm a global health expert on helping children survive diarrhea. Here's what to do if you might have picked up cyclospora. 🧵 1. Call your primary care if possible. 2. Take oral rehydration therapy, which isn't just drinking fluids. 1/

MSFT laid off the Elder Scrolls artist who designed the Khajit and the Argonians. She has been with the franchise for 27 years. When she started work there the guy who would eventually helm X-Box and lay her off was 9 years old.

"…as of July 2025, the CDC made tracking cyclospora optional, as part of scaling back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. At the time, food safety experts worried that it could make it harder to identify and respond to outbreaks."

14 years into running Stunning and I still get a warm fuzzy feeling when I encounter one of my customers’ businesses in the wild. It’s a big world but also a small one.

Ooh App Review is really picky these days. I just got rejected for putting “Allow Photos” on a button instead of “Continue”.

If you see this and you are in a position to hire me to write your video game for a living wage you should really do that. Things are dire. I haven't gotten a paycheck for 8 months. I am really good at my job. I know this will apply to approximately zero of the 53,100 of you, but.
