THIS is the logo that a company like APPLE came up with? It might be the dumbest logo ever for what is a billion dollar service. Jesus what a terribly plain, forgetful design. #apple #appleMusic

Fantastic reporting and again proof that the middle and lower classes are getting screwed.

When the cost of eggs spiked in 2022, economists said bird flu alone was to blame. Anyone who suspected corporate price-fixing was dismissed as a crank. Inside the alleged egg cartel the experts said couldn’t exist.

Has the name of the teacher who threw her phone at the shooter and tackled him been released? God damn hero. We should know her name if she's ok with it being known.

Ok so I don't know anything anymore, clearly.

The Dodgers not only starting Ohtani, but leading him off, too? That's just giving up, at this point. #mlb #dodgers #brewers

The #Netflix show "Below" has such a weird second half. The first half of the season is intense and thrilling and then…it just flops hard. What a shame. #below

Ohtani getting hit by a pitch and now walked? Brewers doing the Dodgers a favor. He should be a relatively easy out right now. #mlb #dodgers #brewers

$299 for the new AppleTV seems insane to me. I love my 3rd Gen unit, but even the new bells and whistles don't make it worth that price.

This is the #Yankees problem. They are a lefty heavy power focused lineup. Good enough to beat sub par teams, but they falter in the playoff where the pitching doesn't make major mistakes. They can't manufacture runs when a pitcher doesn't leave one hanging. #mlb

Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler are trying to drag the Yankees into the next round of the playoffs, but the team has other ideas.

Yankees have 3x as many errors in the first inning of game 2 as they had hits in game 1. NONE OF THAT IS GOOD! #mlb #Yankees

Trying to buy life insurance that isn't through my employer and every time I put that I'm in New York, they act like I'm minutes away from dying and send me to another site. What kind of stupid ass system is this whole industry built on?

What an amazing ending to the Padres/Brewers game! (It's also nice to not stress a baseball game like I stress the Yankees games) #padres #brewers #mlb

Watching the Brewers/Padres game and Fox Sports 1 just completely botched the camera angles on that outfield play by Merrill #mlb #brewers #padres

Trying to convince Aliexpress to let me buy something was incredibly frustrating. First and probably last time I deal with them, but my oldest will be very happy for his 9th birthday.

We introverts often have to pretend to be extroverts to better mesh with the world. I wonder if extroverts ever have to pretend to shut the hell up…I mean…be more introverted.

NBC going with a neutral play by play guy but then two color commentators with one from the Red Sox broadcast team and one from the Yankees' team is an excellent choice. Great calling so far with legit insights into the teams. #mlb #Yankees #RedSox

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Not a take that will be well received given the Macklemore stuff, but I honestly think concerts and entertainment events shouldn't be the host for political statements. Show I went to last night had a sudden political statement at the end (very MAGA) and ruined the tone of the night.

SiriAI is still oddly limited for tasks it SHOULD be able to do. Asked it to create a playlist of top 10 songs from two artists performing together tonight. Can't do it for APPLE MUSIC. Go to ChatGPT and it works perfectly. #SiriAI #ios27

AI Execs: Someone should stop us before we destroy the world as we know it? All of us: Um, why not just stop yourselves? AI Execs: Bro, no one is stopping us. #ai

Dolly uniting people of all walks of life.

GOP and Democratic leaders in Nashville agree the city's airport should be renamed for Dolly Parton. The change would make Parton the first woman whose name adorns one of America’s 50 busiest airports. bit.ly/4xXDBr6 #APPhoto by Timothy D. Easley

Went to Apple Store to buy a tech woven case. The experience, for brick and mortar retail, is still far above most other retailers. Greeted immediately. Shown where the product was. Allowed some space to try it. As soon as I'm ready to buy, I turn around & someone is there to help me get checked out

My youngest starts his first day of 3k, tomorrow. I can't believe we are already putting him out into the world. The scary thing? I'm more worried for the world than I am for him lol

Wife and I were due to upgrade our phones and usually go on a 3 year cycle. Coming from a 15 and a 15 Plus, and with the understanding the 18 lineup is going to have a split release and higher prices, we decided on a 17 Pro and Pro Max. First time I've bought this late in a cycle, but feels right.

The great thing about AI phone answering services instead of the old robot service? They sound more human while being just as useless.
