Some thoughts on what John Ternus' appointment as CEO could mean for Apple's future in AI. It makes a lot of sense when you look what's happening in the consumer tech space right now: www.cnn.com/2026/04/21/t...

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

Trump, who dodged the draft 5x during the Vietnam War, and later said dodging STD’s at NYC clubs was his personal Vietnam, now claims he would have “won” the Vietnam War as president. Let that level of delusion sink in.

Congrats to Tim Cook, whose obituary will feature extended quotations from the president's uh praise

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.

Most tech CEO changes aren't big news, but this one is, not just because of Apple's outsized influence in technology but because Tim Cook really has defined the modern Apple. www.cnet.com/news-live/ti...

CNET's Patrick Holland interviewed Artemis II pilot Victor Glover. "Han Solo wants to be me." Great interview: www.cnet.com/science/spac...

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020. She missed these trials by a few months. One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here. I feel such a hole inside. In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

This assface lived in NYC which is basically one big bodega

Perhaps I'm long-winded when I talk about iPhone Photography and my new book. Part 3!!

I had drinks with Mark Prince, @coffeegeek.com himself, while I was in Victoria BC this weekend. We've known each other virtually for over 20 years, but this was the first meeting in person. It was great to talk coffee and photography and just hang out. Next time: Victoria's best espresso cafes.

I am indeed available for editing, crowdfunding consulting, production and logistics, and all points in between: glog.glennf.com/editing-serv...

Part 2!

Yes, that is me among the undersigned on Fight for the Future's letter supporting the Internet Archive's work. I also donated $100 to the Archive in January, which seemed like a fair payment for the dent I've put in its server costs over the years. www.savethearchive.com/journalists/

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

I didn't take any college tours before I made my pick; I couldn't afford it. I was fortunate that my pick was a good one for me. I would pick it again (not that, these days, I would be likely to get in, acceptance is hugely more competitive now, and I got in by the skin of my teeth).

every day's a beautiful day to go to "Settings" > "Content and media" and turn off "Autoplay videos and GIFs"

Not only did I enjoy writing this mini-review of Withit's Titanium Band for Apple Watch, it was fun taking the accompanying photos. www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

My book on the history of newspaper comics printing did so well on Kickstarter that a publisher bought the rights and How Comics Are Made is nearing a year in bookstores! Great gift for the comic strip obsessed. Thanks! howcomicsaremade.ink

I legit don't know if Rs have any idea how badly they've fucked their rural base and how demoralized they are.

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

"Schumer takes no action" will be on his tombstone

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.

Congress, that gives you two weeks to fucking do something more. (No, I'm not holding my breath)

Excited to watch MAGA influencers twist themselves into knots about the incredible negotiation skills of Donald Trump in this completely and totally manufactured crisis in Iran—a crisis of Trump's own making.

It's been fun browsing NASA's photos on Flickr and seeing how many of them were shot using the iPhone 17 Pro Max. www.cnet.com/science/spac...

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Me waking up every day to this goddamn administration

3/ e) The US's old alliances with #Europe are now destroyed. Just when Russia was about to collapse economically, Trump saved them. Now the Trump regime is assisting the pro-Russian regime in Hungary, which is actively cooperating with Russia. All of Europe now considers the US an enemy.

My god this is beautiful. 7.5 seconds of the Artemis II launch slowed down 66 times youtu.be/csxCA49a_go?...

I got to contribute some Apple memories in this great CNET video by @bridgetcarey.bsky.social. Raise your hand if you lugged a Macintosh in its giant case! 🙋🏻‍♂️ www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

Trump just cut a midterm ad for every Democrat in America. bsky.app/profile/fact...

Godspeed Integrity. As someone who watched Challenger in school, I barely breathed during this launch.

If you're an AT&T wireless customer, your prices are going up in April. But it's not entirely clear how much without logging into your account. More from me at CNET: www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

Trump knows his war with Iran is unpopular. Trump knows Americans are angry that he's made everything more expensive. Instead of reversing course, Trump is trying to rig the next election. It's illegal - and we will fight back.

For Apple's 50th anniversary, I wrote about the most important products the company has released. It was a delightful (and packed!) wander through lots of memories, articles and reviews. www.cnet.com/tech/feature...

it's really unbelievable what a fucking crybaby snowflake the current president is.

The Supreme Court's "conversion therapy" decision today is indefensible on its own terms. A ton of medical regulations restrict speech on the basis of "viewpoint." Nobody thinks they're unconstitutional. This court just subjects pro-LGBTQ protections to special hostility. slate.com/news-and-pol...

We had literal years of coverage of the "tea party" which had a fraction of #NoKings support and was entirely astroturfed by rightwing moneyed interests. Seriously, fuck The New York Times. Fucking trash rag.

Seeing a million people turn out and snake through a large city is very cool, I won’t deny that but my favorite genre of post during these protests is “small town in a red state with the biggest crowd anyone has ever seen”

'Freestyle Diplomacy' -- the ultimate sanewashing www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/u...

Swalwell: "I want to knock out this argument we even need ICE doing what they're doing in the first place. If they are so easily moved from our streets, where they are terrorizing people, to passing out bottles of water in the airport, did we really need them terrorizing people in the first place?"

When you’ve lost Neal Stephenson…

The wrong guy died today.

This this 1000%

The families of the fallen requested no photos at today’s dignified transfer. Didn’t stop Trump. He has now posted them all over social media. How many times does he have to tell the world that he doesn’t care about our troops or their families? How many?
