Two days ago, DHS posted a meme video mocking men being detained with the Pokemon song "Gotta Catch 'Em All" Today, DHS says a sniper outside an ICE field office shot and killed detainees I wrote about the Trump admin's dehumanizing deportation memes: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Still not resubscribing to Disney+/Hulu. The lesson won't stick if they don't feel the consequences of their actions.

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

I know I’m behind, but episode 5 of #alienearth is just insane. I would watch a 10 episode season version of that one episode. So good.

The gang’s all here! (Left are the 1st Gen AirPods Pro, middle AirPods Max, right are the new AirPods Pro) (Also don’t zoom too closely into the OGs, they’re gross after 5 years)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/115224321548138026 Finally!!! Now just waiting for @ivory to support the new standard!

Liquid Glass has been out for ~3 hours and I’ve seen nothing but praise and excitement from the non-techies in my life 👀. I’ve been incredibly impressed with what I’ve seen from third parties; @CARROT Weather and Gentler Streak in particular are real highlights!

It is a great honor to have been included in the @macstories iOS 26 review. It's a dream to be featured alongside so many fantastic apps and developers I deeply admire. #indiedev I’m so excited to get @activas out there so everyone can try it! https://mastodon.social/@activas/115209012168737358

I didn’t expect Adolescence to clean up at the #emmys like this! So well deserved.

From "The Left murdered Charlie Kirk" to "pray for Charlie Kirk's assassin" in the time it took to find out the killer is a white gun-toting Christian.

Resident Evil 9 Requiem is coming to Nintendo Switch 2! So glad to see the Switch 2 starting to get significant third party support. Its a great, capable device - excited to play games like RE on it!

So excited for this! Quote Posts are a fundamental feature of social networks like Mastodon, Bluesky, etc. Great to see it responsibly and ethically implemented. https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115187078125939270

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

Help! New iOS developer here, trying to upload a new build of my iOS 26 app, built with the Xcode 26 RC, to my external TestFlight. Getting a "Validation failed" error that I'm on an unsupported SDK or Xcode - but I'm using Xcode 26 RC! Do I just have to […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

AirPods Pro 3 pre-order on lock.

I believe that Apple is still committed to developing and designing amazing products, but its a shame that their leadership isn't equally as committed to protecting democracy, our republic, and fighting against fascism. #AppleEvent

The iPhone Air looks great, but definitely isn't for me (yet?). The iPhone 17 Pro looks fantastic though - this is one of the biggest upgrades in a long, long time. After years of S-like upgrades, this feels like the first big leap since the iPhone 12 Pro or so. #AppleEvent

With ProMotion and the always on display alone, the base iPhone lineup gets a lot more appealing. Also makes the likely iPhone Air a harder sell... #AppleEvent

My original AirPods Pro have served me well, but with a failing battery - the new AirPods Pro 3 is today’s insta-buy. #AppleEvent

It'll never not be funny to me picturing Apple engineers just... looking at hundreds of thousands of ears. #AppleEvent

I'll likely have a few thoughts on today's Apple event - if you don't want to see them, I'll be using the #AppleEvent tag, so feel free to mute that!

Why is 9to5 so anti-EU in this article about nothing, but said absolutely nothing negative about Tim Cook donating that stupid gold plaque to Trump? https://9to5mac.com/2025/09/01/iphone-12-radiation-eu-software-update/

Does using Low Power Mode on an iPhone 16 Pro feel like using the iPhone 16 normally, or is it a worse experience? The animations and refresh rate feel sluggish, like molasses.

Three episodes in and I like Alien Earth a lot, but I'm starting to get that subtle "this maybe could have been better as a movie" vibe. (still enjoying it though!)

Its been weeks now and I still miss iOS 26 Developer Beta 3's Liquid Glass implementation. 😞 Current Liquid Glass is okay, but beta 3 really had the best compromise between new design, usability, and accessibility. https://www.macrumors.com/2025/07/07/ios-26-beta-3-everything-new/

the bullies do not care u capitulated they want the controversy not a solution

Really excited to hear that AirPods Pro 3 are coming next month, according to @markgurman. I've been waiting nearly five years for this upgrade! 😅 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-08-24/apple-to-launch-iphone-17-pro-iphone-17-air-in-september-iphone-fold-next-year-mepmzpcj

Holy moly, what ... what a fascinating priority from the Healy admin in MA. They want to pay $360M toward a major expansion/redevelopment of a MA women's prison. 🤢 https://www.janedoe.org/jane-doe-inc-statement-on-360-million-plan-for-new-womens-prison/ #abolition #prison #gender #women #mapoli […]

voting for trump got you... - higher prices on many/most goods - big manufacturing job losses - feds deploying military into the streets - the state "taking stakes in" the means of production - natl policy carveouts for gov's allies what would the 2010 tea party say?

What a lovely late summer morning at the Haverhill Farmers Market

My grandmother has an Amazon account for one reason, and one reason only - so she can talk into the air and turn on the lights with Alexa. She forgot her password. Her account has 2FA on with a phone number that she no longer has. We're locked out! Now, apparently, there isn't a damn thing […]

Gotta love those tariffs! Absolutely bonkers that both the PS5 and the Xbox Series consoles cost more today than they did at launch 5 years ago now. Total opposite of most hardware cycles! https://mastodon.social/@Knoebel/115061741455335032

The people who are *still* making a massive deal about having to go to the doctor and get a shot think historians made too big a deal out of **slavery**

they deserve not a moment of peace in public life tbh

Manifesting an AirPods Pro 3 announcement in the next few weeks 🕯️ 🪄 (My ~5 year old original AirPods Pros are finally kicking the bucket - not charging consistently, and barely hold a charge when they do. 5 years isn't bad for a pair of AirPods!)

I don't hate the name MSNOW, but this logo looks like it was designed by somebody using MS Paint circa Windows ME for the first time. Who designed this?! https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/msnbc-to-become-ms-now-my-source-news-opinion-world-245194309536

Between Foundation and Alien Earth, there is some damn good sci-fi on TV right now. (I also hear Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is great, too!)

Oh man, 2009-2013 was such a vibe. https://mastodon.social/@BasicAppleGuy/115033200191662888

ICYMI — The White House posted this video of them arresting a guy for THROWING A SANDWICH🥪 ‘Veep’ has nothing on this. Put this one in the authoritarianism time capsule. 🇺🇸

[Workplace venting] Really bothered this morning by some uncalled for casual harassment at work. Idc if you're busy, idc if your priorities are not my priorities, its never appropriate to raise your voice at and talk over someone who's just trying to do their job.
