I really enjoyed F1: The Movie. Even if you don’t follow racing, it’s well crafted and holds your attention. It’s now available to stream on Apple TV.

If all you can give is $5, give it. Many of the apps and services you use every day survive thanks to volunteers and nonprofits. Pick one that impacts you and support it.

Everybody is talking about Google bringing AirDrop compatibility between Pixels and iPhones (and some people say it might just be temporary).
But if you want to share files easily, there is an app that works everywhere. You should all give it a try:

Blip is the fastest way to send files
Send big files with no size limits, at full quality, across platforms, directly to other people and devices

The internet was supposed to make everyone smarter. It was meant to be a place where knowledge flowed freely and truth had no gatekeepers. But somewhere along the way, the noise got louder, the voices got dumber, and ignorance became a spectacle.

The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.
