One of two pieces on the current state of things for Honda from @timstevens.bsky.social. This one will be of interest for anyone who is waiting for a more Honda EVs in the US.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

A little extra pep in my step this morning. Good things can still happen.

I didn't really care about the Disney vs. YouTube TV spat until tonight. College basketball season has started and you can't watch much without ESPN (especially not Duke). Plus, next weekend F1 is back.

Hi! Preposterously excited (& tbh nervous in the good but also terrifying way) to say that i'm spinning up a podcast that will expand on all the work i do covering politics/technology/information hell. here's a lil teaser we made - first ep will come out 11/14! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnDE...

This is an excellent explainer on the state of things for DJI in the US by @stevedent.bsky.social.

Ug. This sucks.

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

Sennheiser set out to provide audiophile-grade performance in a set of wireless headphones with the HDB 630. I just wish the company had given a little more thought to the design. My full review: www.engadget.com/audio/headph...

The second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones aren't completely overhauled, but that's okay. My full review: www.engadget.com/audio/headph...

i’ve posted some version of this many times so i finally decided to make my case for it: taxing the rich is not only good for us. it is good for them. having a billion dollars is like toxic waste for your soul. we can and should remove it from them. it’s the loving thing to do!

If there's no benefit to rich white dudes, you can expect it'll be on the chopping block soon enough. Piece by piece, they're getting rid of public schools, and they're starting with the programs for kids who benefit from public schools the most.

if i'm reading this right, a who's who of LA's cultural elite are paying money to experience what it's like to have a job

Haven't listened to AFI much since Sing The Sorrow and Decemberunderground, so I decided to give this new record a go and... what the hell is this?

Finally got to Ruston Kelly's new record in my backlog and oh boy it might be my favorite album of the year. music.apple.com/us/album/pal...

Boone Doggle is pretty good ngl.

Everyone is watching for Amazon news, but Beats just announced new earbuds that are a lot like its old earbuds. www.engadget.com/audio/headph...

If you're into more in-depth coverage of the new AirPods, I spoke to a a couple people on the product team about how ANC helps other features like Live Translation: www.engadget.com/audio/headph...

Online trads going to church for the first time and finding out it's not an IRL version of their personal Based internet club always cracks me up

In years past, Amazon announced 1,254 products in a single event.

It's obvious that the AirPods Pro 3 are Apple's best earbuds yet, but you should buy them because the company probably isn't done harnessing the power of its H2 chip. www.engadget.com/audio/headph...

I have never ordered something so fast in my life.

I really hope the person in the hotel room next door is doing something fun because the TV is so loud I can clearly hear it through the wall.

Oh hey, I wrote about the new AirPods Pro today. www.engadget.com/audio/headph...

The Ooni Volt V2 definitely has more features than the original, and perhaps most importantly, it costs less.

We're doomed.

If Marshall can figure out some rear speakers, it has a very compelling home theater lineup in its very first attempt. That is, of course, if you're okay with it all looking like a guitar amp.

Good morning everyone, especially UNC Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham.

Bose overhauled its QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds with improved ANC, enhanced call clarity and more tweaks. Unsurprisingly, they're still the best noise-canceling earbuds you can buy right now. My review: www.engadget.com/audio/headph...

oh @cherlynn.bsky.social and I are having a great morning why do you ask

1. The Tigers aren't playing the Twins today. They're playing the Astros. 2. The game today isn't rained out. 3. The Tigers are playing the Royals on Saturday, & it's not a doubleheader. Other than that, excellent job google

There are new budget Pixel Buds amongst the Pixel 10 phones. This version, the Pixel Buds 2a, is more expensive than the previous A-Series model. But it comes with ANC, longer battery life and other key upgrades. Read all the details here: www.engadget.com/audio/headph...

I know these are deeply unserious people who lie at every breath, but I have to admit the mental image of a senator -- probably wearing a suit -- bailing out into traffic because someone "suspicious" walked by made me laugh.

Although live translation for AirPods was absent from WWDC, it looks like the feature will be coming soon to iOS 26.

Sending in federal troops and taking over a city police department on an easily debunked lie, just curious if the it's-not-fascism people want to weigh in

The Sony Bravia Theater Bar 6 sounds really good, but it doesn't have Wi-Fi. That means you have to use a thumb drive for updates on top of not having Airplay or Chromecast. My full review: www.engadget.com/home/home-th...

Please be less boring than the Maverick.

This sure sounds like lying about the numbers is going to get worse!

whatever your thoughts about the ethics of AI and film restoration this just looks dumb as hell.

The media has to stop taking the admin at their word since it's clear nothing they say can be trusted.

I frequently wonder how the times can get any dumber, and unsurprisingly, the current administration continues to find a way.

Would mark as spam, just because I can.

New from me: LinkedIn quietly removed references to deadnaming and misgendering from its hateful content policy this week. The company says it's underlying rules have not changed but advocates say it's part of a trend to loosen rules meant to protect vulnerable users.

Wondering what to expect when the AirPods update arrives this fall? I spent some time with the new features so you'll know more about what's coming soon.

Bowers & Wilkins continues its run of stellar sounding headphones. I'm just ready for bigger changes for new models. My review of the Px7 S3:

The most egregious thing about the FCC press release announcing approval of Skydance's acquisition of Paramount CBS is that all the double spaces after periods.

BAH GAWD THAT'S ROY COOPER'S MUSIC www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I'm not saying Colbert was canceled in exchange for FCC merger approval, but....

New: I did a deep dive on just how much referral traffic Threads is ending to websites and publishers and it's .... not much! Despite having 350 million+ monthly users, the vast majority of users just don't click on links. www.engadget.com/social-media...
