"MapQuest’s rank climbed from No. 128 on August 28 to No. 92 the following day, and then hit No. 3 this Monday, August 31, when it was also No. 1 in the Navigation category. By Tuesday of this week, MapQuest had reached the No. 1 spot across both apps and games on the U.S. App Store."
MapQuest is now the No. 1 US app after bucking Trump's 'Lake America' renaming | TechCrunch
The once-dominant mapping app has surged to the top of Apple’s U.S. App Store after refusing to adopt Trump’s “Lake America” name, drawing more than half of its 2026 U.S. downloads in just six days.

I'll never get over how batshit insane it is that MacOS will let you interact with a window without moving focus to that window. I'll do like three things via mouse right clicks and middle clicks, then start typing, and the text goes to a different app altogether because focus never switched.

for some context, the red circle is where it started about 4 hours ago? it went from 50 acres to close to 2000 acres in a few hours. this will probably be the worst fire in spokane since 1992-ish

I rarely go to the theater anymore, but The Odyssey was absolutely worth it. Incredibly well done. Who knew a cyclops could actually be terrifying or a Trojan horse actually believable?

Grimm is one of my favorite shows of all time. But I never get over the way they never stopped messing with the opening credits. Even after they dialed it in mid season two, the length changed wildly all the way through season six
