My review of the iPhone Duo www.pcmag.com/reviews/appl...

An unfortunate byproduct of walking through Times Square today on my way to the Port Authority is that I was forced to encounter The Naked Cowboy. Haven’t seen him in a NY minute.

Truth

Some good news for a change

The 18 Pro Max is peak iPhone. Incredible power, insane battery life, stunning camera. www.pcmag.com/reviews/appl...

Raise your hand if you're ready for Aaron Rodgers to retire and shut up for the rest of his life.

It's new music Friday! I'm super excited about new albums from: Mastodon - Marrow Deep Kamelot - Dark Asylum The Warning - Everything's Falling and the new live album from Ghost - Too Big to Rig What are you listening to???

My latest for @wired.com: I tried exercising my data access rights over 100 times and almost lost my sanity during the process. www.wired.com/story/i-dema...

Oh, so Trump is renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America? Does that mean schoolkids will learn S H A M E instead of H O M E S to help remember all the names??? #ontario

$4 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill. Yes, you heard that right: they are PAYING to keep more energy off the grid and your bills higher.

RUSH!!!

New Spidey flick was fun, don't bother sitting through the credits.

This morning, I received my first CES 2027 email. *sigh*

Crazy game

Early bird gets the best view for the tall ships on the 4th of July

Scrappy win, but I’ll take it

Messi is just so dammed good

Terrible call

My teenage daughter and all her friends referring to one another as "bro" is hysterical.

The enforcement surge cost 668,000 jobs. Across the cities with the sharpest rise in ICE arrests, employment fell 0.73% below what they would have seen absent the surge, and 1.48% in the 51 cities observed at least six months out.

My next-door neighbor uses a weed whacker / string trimmer to "mow" his lawn. He owns a mower that he never uses. Who does this.

Yep, Bullshit with a capital B, Valnet

I'm glad one of our resident financial mavens has skimmed this filing, since I don't have time to right now. This part seems bad for the company: "AI is a black hole. Incinerating cash, no demand. Doesn’t make money even ex R&D. Just a money pit."

Never ever forget how good Alice In Chains' eponymous album is

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

My two best guitar amplifiers each have only seven knobs. I have others with 24+ knobs, and they're great, too, but most of the time simplicity wins.

holy cow Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down

My 50-year-old neighbor has his Cybertruck set to fart every time he locks the doors. So, multiple times per day, I get to listen to his truck squish one out. loudly as he walks away. This is a grown man. Thanks, Elon.

Some big-ass bee keeps flying head-first into the glass of my office window, and dang, that dude has to have a heck of a headache by now.

Omg Iron Maiden is FINALLY going to be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame www.billboard.com/lists/rock-a...

RIP to Lyndon Laney, founder of Laney Amplifiers. He gave Tony Iommi a vital element of Sabbath's sound.

The volume of AI-generated garbage on social media appears to be increasing exponentially. It's so disheartening and maddening. I can't stand it. We're eventually going to have to create online spaces that ban/block AI.

Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton. His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs. They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

The Sonos Play is a pleasing return to form. www.pcmag.com/reviews/sono...

This is genuinely a bombshell. All courthouse arrests should cease immediately. There should be a Congressional investigation & civil rights actions for every illegal abduction of immigrants trying to follow the rules and appear in court. (2/2)

The party of fiscal responsibility? LOLOL HAHAH HAHAHHA HHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH

RIP, everyone on earth Chuck Norris didn't die; the rest of us did.
