Fun Apple news: when I updated to iOS 18 my iPhone’s sleep tracker mysteriously stopped working. Finally figured out why 😀
Apple removed the built-in sleep tracking feature, even though it worked like a dream. Can’t think of a single reason to do it aside from pressuring people to buy Apple Watches

This man lead a mutiny against Putin and is now getting off scot-free. Respectfully, my guy looks like Elmer Fudd. He looks like he should be running a hotdog stand, not leading a band of murderous convicts. And, in fact, he did! Yevgeny Prigozhin used to sell hotdogs on the street with his mom.
