I ordered a Panic Playdate on July 30, 2021. They finally told me a few months ago that the shipping window would be between April and June of 2023. Today, on the last day of June, 2023, it finally shipped! #gamer #panic #playdate

14 months ago I had to evacuate from Oxford High Schol when a fifteen year old opened fire and killed four of my classmates and injured seven more. Tonight, I am sitting under my desk at Michigan State Univeristy, once again texting everyone “I love you” When will this end?

Voice assistants should feel as smart as ChatGPT, but we aren't even close? What's the holdup?

New: Twitter's mass layoffs just gutted teams devoted to combating election lies a few days before the midterms. Some of those fired were supposed to be on call this weekend monitoring for foreign disinfo & spam wapo.st/3WpzXng w/ @Cat_Zakrzewski @isaacstanbecker

Congrats on an amazing career, @SerenaWilliams! How lucky were we to be able to watch a young girl from Compton grow up to become one of the greatest athletes of all time. I'm proud of you, my friend—and I can't wait to see the lives you continue to transform with your talents.

Today is officially the day that Joe Biden signs the Inflation Reduction Act and I would like to make the case that it is a bigger deal than anything else that happened today, or this month, and possibly this year.

Serious question: how does American democracy survive when in times of controversy or crisis you have 100s, if not 1000s, of public figures willing to publicly and repeatedly lie about basic demonstrable facts; and carry on lying even after they’re confronted with those facts? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Tumblr is what would happen if Twitter and Instagram got together. It's the best of both worlds — photographers showing work, a place to write and share links, community conversation, and a reblog feature to amplify the stuff that catches your eye. Let's see if it catches on.

After seeing reviews of the M2 MacBook Pro I have a feeling that the 10 core GPU version of the new MacBook Air is going to be a waste of money. #thermalthrottling #Apple #M2MacbookAir
