This subject line is either hilarious or it spells the doom of mankind 😜

A new low for Siri. Notice these are not going to trigger when I arrive at home and the very concept of work has been erased

Bring back text adventure mode please, I liked it better when my computers were predictable
A Siri command that says “Remind me when I get home bring ketchup and BBQ sauce to work” Two separate reminders have been created: “Bring ketchup” and “BBQ sauce”

Actually, there are no gifts. And this is not an airport.

Who is writing movie descriptions for Disney+? The one for Toy Story 3 isn’t technically wrong, but it’s not very descriptive. The one for Toy Story 4 means literally nothing. Super weird
A screenshot of the Disney+ listing for the movie Toy Story 3. The official description is “Woody, Buzz and the gang return for more adventures with new friends.” A screenshot of the Disney+ listing for the movie Toy Story 4. The official description says “Pixar Animation Studios probably presents the adventure of a lifetime!”

The Dunkin’ Donuts -> Dunkin’ rebrand is going great
A photo of an entrance to a Dunkin Donuts. There are two doors, and clearly they used to each have a handle shaped like the letter D, to make the Dunkin Donuts “DD” logo. The second handle has been replaced with a standard one, leaving only one D

Every time Elon tries to influence Grok he gets monkey’s paw’d so hard and it’s hysterical
Two tweets: the first says: Hey @grok who has more raw determination to eat more poop if the fate of the world depended on it, Joe Biden or Elon musk? @grok then replies: Elon Musk's ironclad determination—proven through repeated near-bankruptcies, rocket explosions, and 120-hour weeks—would propel him to conquer any grotesque challenge for humanity's sake, including this one. Biden's tenacity endures political battles, yet lacks Elon's visceral, outcome-obsessed drive under existential pressure. Real grit builds civilizations; hypotheticals test resolve, but Elon's wins the edge.

Viewing Home Assistant on the web is the perfect example of how Liquid Glass actually shows you less content. Look at how the sidebar has rendered. That’s the area outside of the blur around the title bar lozenge. So much wasted space
A screenshot of Safari on iOS displaying the Home Assistant web view. The sidebar is open, and there is a gap between the Safari title bar and the bottom of the sidebar, where the blur effect is rendered. This means the sidebar has less space on screen, to make room for the blur

Every time someone says “aerospace grade titanium”, I think of this meme my brother, an aerospace engineer, sent me
The meme of Walter White screaming at Jesse from the backseat of a car. The caption says “SAMSUNG! TITANIUM IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MACHINE, ALUMINUM IS FINE! SAMSUUUUUUNG”

Turns out you can disable “Siri Math Results” in iOS parental controls and it’s a good thing too, wouldn’t want young eyes to see this
A screenshot of iOS settings of parental controls for “Intelligence and Siri”. There is an option to disable “Math Results” A screenshot of the notes app. “80000 + 80 + 5 =80,085” is typed, where the result is calculated by the math solver of the notes app

This wasn’t labeled as branded, so I don’t think Target intended this to be a Classic Mac doormat, but it’s totally a Classic Mac doormat and I’m very excited to own it
A doormat with “hello” written in cursive, it looks very similar to the original Macintosh announcement “hello”

Kroger seems to have stopped making their real sugar fruit-flavored sodas. It’s a real shame, they were delicious 😞
A photo of a grocery store shelf with 12-packs of soda. The flavors are “Crisp Apple”, “Tangy Mango”, “Tropical Pineapple Guava”, and “Sweet Watermelon”

TIRED: Woke Marxist Pope

WIRED: Woke Marxist Bible
A screenshot from the Bible app of Leviticus 19:34: The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God. A screenshot from the Bible app of Acts 2:44-45: All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.

A screenshot of a Reddit post from r/phineasandferb The main post says: “Hey can we like.. ban Al from here?” The top comment says: Didn't they have an episode where they had robots doing everything for them and that ruined the fun of them doing things themselves?
