A "wow" moment for the iOS 16 Lock Screen:
Not only can the depth effect place subjects in front of the time, it even supports *transparency*.
In this case, I can make the time appear through sunglasses 🤯

Now if you spent years pretending to believe that you think compliance with federal document-retention rules is a top-tier issue and now egg is on your face, I do feel kind of bad for you but the lesson is to be less dishonest in the future.

Massive explosions at a Russian military airbase rocked Ukraine’s annexed Crimea, sending huge mushroom clouds of black smoke into the sky and scattering beachgoers.
Ukraine's Defense Ministry coyly denies responsibility and warns of the dangers of smoking around explosives.

Do you like getting screamed at? Are you into humiliation? Do you hate it when your client pays you or follows your advice? Do you want to get your instructions second-hand through people like Sidney Powell or Rudy Giuliani? Do I have a job for you.

I think this is one of the most important sentences in HCD's review letter of SF's housing element.
HCD says discretionary review is a constraint. But DR is in SF's charter, so short of passing AHN, SF needs to invoke some state law to grant by-right development

As I wrote yesterday, the main candidate quality issue facing Republicans is that the single most influential leader in the GOP keeps intervening in primaries for highly idiosyncratic reasons.

In #WIGov Trump endorses Michels over Kleefisch. One reason he reportedly shunned the former LG: her teenage daughter went to a homecoming dance with the son of one of the state Supreme Court judges who blocked the bogus efforts to overturn 2020 results https://t.co/qKzRgzLxrM

When white people get up in arms about other white people cooking dumplings or burritos, and only recognize and amplify the voices of the few people of color who want to gatekeep those things, that isn't multiculturalism, it is ascriptive minoritization.

Every so often I remember that Malcolm Gladwell claimed poets had the highest suicide rate of any profession, and it turned out that this was his source! It's exhausting that he is taken seriously.

6) Merrick Garland bet his entire legacy on this decision.
If he did it because Donald Trump has a dust-covered box filled with images of North Korean nuclear testing sites sitting undisturbed in a closet, then god help us all.

Today's iOS 16 beta update adds an option to “copy and delete” screenshots, which is so much the thing I needed but didn’t know to ask for!

The current FBI Director was 1) appointed by Trump, 2) served with Kavanaugh in the Bush administration, and 3) was a member of the Federalist Society.
It’s absolutely laughable for Republicans to try paint him as some deep-state liberal and shows just how desperate they are.
