Trump is such a disgrace. The event is starting nearly an hour late because of him. If you aren’t 15 minutes early, you are late.

iOS is randomly partially toggling other alarms when you enable/disable one. I just reported to Apple, but I’ve never had any of my reports get any feedback, so I don’t know if it is even worth it to submit them.

I’m updating my
#Hinge
profile and after I wrote “MAGA,” Apple suggested the word “cult” I’m wondering how long it will take before it starts suggesting the word “fascist” Also, I’m fairly sure Hinge is using OpenAI to power their feedback. The political references killed the response.

There is a hypothetical
