Apple Intelligence should be a flagship feature in Apple Music. Interactive liner notes? Prompt-generated playlists? Makes a lot more sense then novelty crap like Genmoji.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means
I think there are a lot of answers that have already been floated around here, and I've even offered some myself, but I did want to sharpen the question a bit.

Remarkable last words:
Audience member: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?
Kirk: Too many
Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?
Kirk: Counting or not counting gang members?

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. don’t say stuff like that

I use the official Gmail app, which I consider the least shitty email app available on iOS. I try every release of Apple's stock Mail app, but it never sticks.
I might make the switch this time around though: the way Apple handles message threading is as close to Google Inbox as I've seen.
