OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks: I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Coming out of One Battle After Another to a military chopper in the sky hovering, slowly sweeping the area = fucking dystopian.

Time for some CINEMA! #onebattleafteranothermovie #vistavision

Won’t the National Guard save L.A. from this scourge of tiny motorbikes???? WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US, FASCISTS???

“Since the mainstream discourse stipulates that extremism must be ‘fringe’ in these United States, anything that has broad support is reflexively sanitized as not extremism. This apologist sleight of hand is often deployed to provide cover for extreme forces within the Republican Party: If […]

Many of us are demanding they stop pursuing this proposition, and Republicans and other supremacist hatemongers insist this demand represents violence […]

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

There is nothing positive I have to say about this video interface. It just gets worse and worse.

I was wondering what this amazing animation on the Apple TV #peanuts screen saver was for today. It's the only time characters other than Snoopy and Woodstock have shown up. I had no idea this is the date of the first Peanuts strip! Happy 75th.

I like this song a lot. "Redesign Your Logo" by Lemon Demon https://music.apple.com/us/album/redesign-your-logo-bonus-track/1088595729?i=1088596177

These all look horrible. You know what would improve it 95%? Center the damn icon. Keep left-justified text if you must. Left-justified text is easier to read in longer blocks of text. Sometimes these messages get long, so I guess I understand this choice […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

I listened to the Klein Coates podcast… and it was SO hard to listen to Klein. Yes, he was completely honest, which was refreshing, but that his honest searching leads him to whitewash Kirk and suggest we go BACK to Democrats who have horrible policy ideas is tragic. Coates was magnificent in […]

Could you IMAGINE how much more often I'd have to MatstoBitch™ if I used Windows or Android or Linuxhahahahaasif.

Anyway, I was creating text on a path in Illustrator and wondering why the “end caps" of the text path are no longer selectable let me get right back to that.

I use the Headspace app (we get a free work account), mostly for falling asleep. It's never been a well-designed app, but over the years, whatever goals they have set for “user engagement" and “discovery" and “ease of use” have made the app confusing, illogical, dumb, user-hostile, and somehow […]

For some reason, the thing that's gotten me to call Apple is the inability for Last Played data not sycning across my music library to all my devices. I have some playlists that remove songs from a playlist if I've listened to them in the last year. But that Last Played data is not the same. A […]

Apple's feedback page does not have an option for the Apple Music app. So I sent comments via the Apple Music service page. I hate, hate, HATE the music controls on the bottom of the Mac app. It's ILLOGICAL. It SUCKS. It is not the first place my mind would […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Good lord, the macOS 26.0.1 update was a 10 GB download.

Wow. Private equity gonna A.I. the shit out of EA. Amongst other horrors.

Whew, I want to post this Onion article, but for now, it’s print only. PRINT. ONLY. I kinda like those words!

Click through to the Bluesky post. This admin. Never fails to shock me with how pathetic AND dangerous they are. https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:vpkw7cvu6eu742hvjk5wsxf2/post/3lzwjigjavs2h

POSITIVE APPLE! They finally fixed this insane problem that’s been here since iPhone 1: When you needed to find the E-mail address of someone in the address fields, you would tap on it and eventually go to the address book (or address book pop-over? I’ve […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

[Racist Album Cover/Old Jazz Band Name (incl. description and alt text)] Well, THIS was jarring to see. (This popped up in an Apple Music jazz station.) AFTER A TINY MODICUM OF RESEARCH: Wikipedia has this as the name of the orchestra: Spike Hughes and his […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

I love videos/articles that show WHY Apple stuff can be very expensive when compared to vastly cheaper comparable products, like power adapters or, in this case, Thunderbolt cables. The only (huge) problem with this is that they do not compare other, cheaper Thunderbolt (4? they don’t say) […]

Catching up again on my RSS reading. Another great (“old”) article by @JuliusGoat: “Kirk's death is a tragedy and totally unacceptable. The rest of us are potentially, if we are unlucky enough, and depending on who or what kills us, simply the sacrifice the second amendment and Charlie Kirk […]

I am not a fan of the hidden camera options in #iOS26. It does not serve any purpose. Why hide the other options when you’re on Video or Photo, but then SHOW that there are other options when you’re IN the other options? (At least there’s the little […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

I updated my main Mac last night, so today I got to give OS 26 a full day's work. What I'm discovering is that all the tiny little bugs that have crept into the Mac over the last few years are all still there, only now they are being buggy behind a new interface, and all the NEW bugs that […]

[Quick! Is this button selected or not? (Look at image #1 only.)] Answer: Nope! The AutoPlay button is OFF. The Crossfade button next to it is unavailable… but it is still red, so it is not “greyed out," as we've come to expect from an unavailable button […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

I mean, you'll forgive my brain from seeing all these weird inset shapes as being other windows ON TOP OF the ones they’re ACTUALLY part of. I'm finding this exhausting. #macos26

After a week with the #iPhone17Pro, the one thing I have to say is… this thing is SLIPPERY! The textured aluminum is much more slippery than the textured titanium on the 16 Pro. The only thing NOT slippery is the Apple logo on the back. I’m gonna gotta be […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

A new Japanese sando place has opened in the neighborhood. GAHRGEOUSSSS!

This process takes much, MUCH too long. They want people to do this in-store? How does that work? (Maybe most people don't have a lot stored on their phones.) This was after 5 hours of transfer, for maybe 700 GB of data. #iphone17pro

I bought the cross-body strap because it seems like a genius idea for traveling. I took my phone out my pocket or man purse constantly in Japan earlier this year. If I can just swing it out of an easier pocket or let it hang now and then, it'd be so simple. But we'll see. The thing is built […]

Today's decision being heavily criticized by Past Brendan Carr

Okay, after some days now with v26 of the various Apple OSs, I am, in general, liking it quite a lot. I still have trouble with all the blobbiness of the space and being able to see less information (thread: https://mastodon.online/@lekowicz/115210704207529190), but overall, it feels genuinely […]

There's a thing lots of websites have been doing lately where the elements are so large, the website shows much less information that a browser is capable of. I blame phones for this, but I also blame the UX folks who have been told this is how it's got to be done or DOOM. So far, iOS and […]

“And I really think it all comes from wanting ‘the left’ to join them. To like them. To think they’re smart and cool. The left is where most of the artists and intellectuals and people who are any fun at all to be around have always been. It’s not enough to rule over the ashes, they need the […]

“It turns out that a lot of people who should know better are talking about Kirk as if he were some kind of serious thinker, not as the low-rent troll he actually was. It’s really weird how rapidly the narrative switched from ‘Political violence is unacceptable’ or even ‘Like any of us, he had […]

If this ISN'T my favorite logo ever, it is certainly in the running.

Oh, YouTube. You're so needy. (It's now up to 192!)

“I didn’t like Charlie Kirk. His morals and principles, as expressed through his rhetoric and actions, disgusted me. I’ve no reason to mourn his death—and no plans to celebrate it. “Charlie Kirk is dead and nothing will bring him back. We are all a little worse off for his death—not because he […]
