One of the most viral “Knicks parade” photos from today is at least 70% AI. Zoom in on that Knicks logo, friends. We’re done for.

Really enjoying these videos @jasonschreier.bsky.social has been posting on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfJ8...

I reviewed a phone. You know the one. Full story and more photos like this are up now at Bloomberg. Gift link/no subscription required: tinyurl.com/yhy9ju6n

Resisted my usual In N Out visit before leaving CA. This was better.

🚨🎸 OASIS DOCUMENTARY COMING TO IMAX/THEATERS ON SEPT. 11 AND DISNEY+ LATER THIS YEAR 🎸🚨 Can’t wait to relive Live ‘25. And here’s hoping for Live ‘27. deadline.com/2026/05/disn...

Very useful. Thank you, healthcare company app. I’ll get right on that.

I took this photo four years ago today. Looks like a meme. Nowadays people would say “AI!” But no. Just a legendary glance from this dog.

NEW: Trapped Tesla Driver’s 911 Call: ‘It’s on fire. Help please’ Samuel Tremblett died in Easton, MA after his Model Y crashed into a tree and caught on fire. He managed to talk to a dispatcher. His remains were found in the backseat. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend." Read more from @kristenradtke.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

The coffee shop is packed with people. It’s giving out coupons to anyone who donates plasma in the blood center truck outside. A pair of neighbors wait for coffee and fill each other in on the latest ICE killing. A man has to excuse himself to quietly cry in the corner. A Saturday in Minneapolis.

after flying back from Vegas last week, I was just laid off from Inverse today. I'm open to connecting over email at [email protected] and I'm definitely still in the writing and editing space. Expect a more in-depth explanation coming soon in my Updater newsletter. shannonliao.substack.com

Who remembers?

I reviewed the iPhone 17 Pro... and I reviewed the iPhone 17... and I reviewed the iPhone Air. Apple's 2025 smartphone lineup is its most impressive in a long time because the company shifted focus back to hardware. Full review: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

News: Spotify Lossless is here. More than FOUR YEARS since being announced, today the music streaming service is rolling out the higher quality — up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC — to Premium subscribers in select markets.

Oh wow, NYC.

the degradation / dismantling of Eater is such a damn shame. in a world of influencer- and bot-skewed restaurant ratings, googling "eater [city]" provided guidance from passionate locals with good taste; it was a cheat code for eating well wherever you traveled

This is one of the bleakest developments yet out of Vox Media. All the newsletters and podcasts in the world won't fix it. Sending my support to those who abruptly lost their jobs today — cruelly coinciding with Eater's 20-year celebration, no less. (www.eater.com/food-culture...)

Good photo, if I do say so myself.

They sound so damn good.

The last time I saw Oasis (at MSG in 2008), concert videos looked and sounded like this. Happy reunion day. Hope everyone in Cardiff has a brilliant time.

Tonight I met someone who, it turns out, worked with and knew Chris Ziegler after The Verge/Apple fiasco. I’ve been wondering what happened to him for years. Chris was one of the funniest, warmest colleagues I ever had. He’s well these days. And happy. That’s all I wanted to hear and all I’ll say

Here's my review of the Nintendo Switch 2 for Bloomberg. Proud of how this one turned out. Give it a read. Also, what a photo, am I right? www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

HDMI Forum really getting its moment of glory in the Switch 2 box.

My first review for Bloomberg is up today! Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is refreshingly light in your hand (especially for a screen this big) and very powerful. But the battery tradeoff will be too much for some. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... More soon. 🎮 It’s a privilege to be part of this team.

The original 1989 was always better. Glad we’re all allowed to listen to it again.

New: Sonos and Ikea are ending their "Symfonisk" partnership that began several years ago with bookshelf speakers, lamp speakers, and even picture frame speakers. No future products are planned. If you want them, now's the time to grab remaining stock.

Their press release proudly calls Polygon a "premium gaming publication" but Valnet literally refused to meet with me or answer a single question of mine throughout this process. They were wildly incurious about how a gaming publication even becomes "premium."

I’ve been a video game PR person for a long time and let me tell you that the team at Polygon have always been some of the smartest, thoughtful reporters in the industry. This is awful news and a massive blow to an already depleted industry.

Polygon was a great constant to have over the years, they did a lot of quality work and held themselves to a really high standard. Very frustrating to see sharp people with solid, institutional knowledge get tossed out like this.

After today, I am not employed! Not sure what the hell I'm going to do next but follow me on twitch and instagram (pizza_suplex_vevo) and stuff. twitch.tv/pizza_suplex

I'm no longer with Polygon. If you're hiring, please consider the many talented writers and editors now on the market. Every one of them deserves a spot on your staff. I won't be talking more about the sale because I wasn't involved. Going to hang out with my kid. Taking wins where I can.

A second disruption occurred at Microsoft's 50th anniversary event when an employee stood and yelled at all three of the company's past and present CEOs — Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and Satya Nadella — about the company's AI dealings with the Israeli government. www.theverge.com/news/643777/...

Don’t know what it says about my life that I was legit excited to see a new Snapple flavor in the Duane Reade fridges.

SCOOP: Sonos has canceled plans to release a streaming video player. The device, codenamed Pinewood, was already deep into development and was due to ship later this year. Now those who worked on it are being reassigned to other projects. www.theverge.com/tech/628297/...

Apple’s latest Mac Studio is a computer with unreal power. The M3 Ultra chip is overkill for many of us, but I’m having fun testing out all those cores and all that memory. We’re just getting started; you can’t review something like this in a few days. More to come! www.theverge.com/reviews/6274...

It's the iPhone 16e. Read our review by @allisonjo1.bsky.social. Photos by yours truly! www.theverge.com/reviews/6201...

Today’s brunch was not to be trifled with.

Darth Vader NOOOOOOOOOOO sound effect

This is so damn good. Watch!

Please don't blow it with these apps, Apple.

New: Sonos explored and prototyped a MagSafe speaker that could easily attach to recent iPhones. Some at the company saw it as a good way to appeal to younger customers. The idea was ultimately scrapped.

New: a preview of Sonos' next major new product, the long-rumored video streaming box codenamed Pinewood. It'll offer unified search. It doubles as an HDMI switch with passthrough. And it's likely to come with an actual physical remote.

How many of you *actually* limit your iPhone's charge to 80 percent? I've been doing it, but also asking myself why since I could probably manage a battery replacement without much trouble.
