Oh fun, another iPhone 17-gate, though this one at a smaller scale: www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

This pretty much sums up me in fall in Seattle

Next year, a lot of folks are going to see their premiums go up $1,000 or more per month because of a Republican policy. If you start having to pay $1,000 extra every month, what will you stop being able to afford? This is what Democrats are fighting to stop.

Robert Morris, Texas megachurch pastor, pleads guilty to sexually abusing a child www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We looked back on the "backlash" against American Eagle ads featuring Sydney Sweeney and her "great jeans." Right-wing media declared that liberals were outraged and thought the ads were racist -- even the White House joined in. If you thought that story reeked, you'll want to see what we found.

T-Mobile's T-Satellite service now supports apps that have been optimized for satellite communications. With a surprise: Audio and video chats, first appearing in WhatsApp. Making a video call outside cell coverage is a leap from just texting a couple of months ago. www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

AT&T contacted me about how they’re using _ray tracing_ to improve cellular service. Yes, like the graphics tech in games and movies. Turns out to be a super interesting application: www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

this (from @danpfeiffer.bsky.social) is excellent. voters always blame the controlling party for shutdowns, and that's even when the guy in charge ISN'T historically unpopular.

Today’s essential reading (thread). This was more than just Hegseth trying to swing his dick in a room he doesn’t even deserve to be in.

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

YES!!!! New TRAILS AND WAYS has dropped!!! And it sounds very trailsy and waysy in the best possible way. #newmusic #nowplaying #musicsky youtu.be/6GxEB200KgM?...

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

History will show that just about everything involved with the Russia investigation was accurate and only scratched the surface of how deep and involved the corruption and treason went. It will be documented as one of the most successful and long lived intelligence operations in history.

GOP lawmaker said trans people “harm” children. He just pled guilty to child porn charges. - “Every accusation is a confession" keeps ringing true day by day. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/09/gop-...

In a stunning violation of OPSEC, we’ll be announcing to our adversaries when and where all of our top military leaders will be. Doesn’t seem Pete learned much from Signalgate. His incompetence is staggering.

this is the kind of shit you should shut down the government for imo

Now pushing no Tylenol for kids. My two small kids recently spiked three fevers in two weeks (Covid, virus, virus). You want me to make them stay up all night sweating and keening rather than give them one safe chewable, drop their temp, and let them go to sleep? You are an actual monster.

Know who’s going to cash in on Trump’s farmer bailout? Factory farms owned and operated by corporations

It’s so depressing watching the dumbest people in America drive this country into a ditch …. Again

Powerful MAGA

What the fuck

RIP Starbucks Reserve stores in Seattle, the Roastery on Capitol Hill and the Reserve store at Starbucks HQ, both abruptly shuttered today. They were truly beautiful environments to enjoy coffee and pastries, many not found in the regular chain stores. #starbucks #starbucksreserve #seattle

Tariffs will never “kick in” to benefit farmers.

Of course.

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

Apple has responded about the iPhone 17 Pro scratches issue, blaming in-store MagSafe display hardware. Details here: www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/... #scratchgate

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

New iPhone 17 Pro set up, but had to unpair/re-pair my Apple Watch Series 10 to the new phone. Now the health app says Hypertension Notifications are off because “not available in your region." Anyone else seeing this? Could just be first-day flood of activations and data. #iPhone17 #AppleWatch

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

“In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump’s DOJ deleted a study from its site stating right-wing violence ‘continues to outpace all other types of terrorism & domestic violent extremism’ in 🇺🇸 — The study was available online until Friday.” newrepublic.com/post/200537/...

BRB just adding embarrassing/unexpected backgrounds to my Messages chats in iOS 26 before my friends have updated their devices. 😈 @agenschmitz.bsky.social Alt: iPhone screenshot with a close-up picture of Kenny Loggins in the background. [bsky didn't let me tag alt text properly for some reason]

iOS 26 comes out today for the iPhone (plus the other OSes). Nelson Aguilar wrote up a great list of hidden or hard-to-find features to get you started: www.cnet.com/tech/service...

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

Right winger gets murdered: he was the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived Right winger ends up being the murderer: he was also the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

It's always sad when you tried to blame a transgender, woke, Democrat for Charlie Kirk's murder, and it turns out to be a Republican white boy from Utah instead. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice Tyler Robinson

Just maybe remember Melissa Hortman🙏, her husband Mark🙏, & their dog Gilbert🙏, along with John Hoffman who survived. They didn't get nearly the press I'm sure this will, no matter the outcome.

So is anyone else worried about potentially bending or shattering the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air? www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...
