The 69th loss of the season for the Padres was definitely not nice.

Looks like macOS 27 is going to ship with several regressions in Mission Control and App Exposé. Sigh.

The Rays are a very good baseball team. They just do the little things better than most, San Diego definitely included.

I agree with this, but I'd also take it one step further: Everything cool, inspiring, beautiful, and useful that tech has given us has been monitized, advertised, data mined, and enshittified to the point that we are often less well off than we were without it.
We shouldn't discount the fact that at least part of the data center backlash (and by extension the broader techlash) is because people feel like the tech industry has not given them anything cool, inspiring, beautiful, or useful in a long time

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him.
I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.

Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.
