But in fact, and also because we don’t have a time machine — while supporting terrorism is not just immoral but also a crime — all of them belong to jail. Will do.
I’m glad they are finally back. It’s a tragedy that it took so long, and that many more didn’t make it — either on the day of the attack or later.

I do agree, but have a correction: I’d say it’s not writing versus connecting with other people.

I have a question: who the fuck needs ‘Always-On’ displays?? Are these people okay? Do they need help? Why is it even a feature (turned on by default and used as a selling point)?
I can’t think of a literally single use case

iOS 26 is a disaster and an utter shitshow. it’s not because it introduces a new design system — but bc the design system itself is shitty AND, what’s worse, it’s poorly implemented

Welp, I had to use genAI to create the most uncanny, disgusting, and disturbing image snippet for this article:
