  "The Los Angeles Times referred to him as an 'unknown British Shakespearean actor' in a story announcing his casting [on "Star Trek: The Next Generation"]. Brent Spiner, who played the android Data on the show, fashioned a sign to go above Stewart’s dressing room that read in bright red, 'WARNING: Unknown British Shakespearean Actor.'" https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/patrick-stewart-dead-star-trek-x-men-1236742932/

  Congrats to Apple on inventing the touchscreen laptop, a thing every other laptop maker invented 15 years ago and then mostly dropped because it turned out nobody wanted that

  When Apple announced there was going to be a folding-screen iPhone, I figured there were two possible explanations. The first was that they had figured out how to solve an industrial design problem with folding-screen phones that nobody else had been able to solve. The other was that the days when Apple would let a market niche slide because they couldn't come up with a product to fill it that met their standards were over. So, yeah https://www.404media.co/iphone-duo-crackgate-crease-foldi...

  “The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, conceded defeat on Sunday in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government. “It was a seismic political shift in the Balkan country where Vucic, who had been endorsed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and who denounced the student movement as a foreign-led attempt to unseat him, led with virtually absolute power for 14 years.”...

  "I keep coming back to this graph because it’s so eye-popping, almost impossible to believe. As you see in the legend, the blue line is data centers. The grey line is everything else. Everything else. Commercial properties. Rental properties. Single family homes. Multiple family homes. Pick your preferred flavor of development, NIMBY, YIMBY, urban, rural, it’s in there. You basically have rapid data center growth and everything else contracting." 🎁 https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblo...

  “The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Wednesday in Salazar v. Paramount Global, a case about digital privacy. Well, it should be a case about digital privacy, but it is actually about whether a law passed in 1988 to regulate (not making this up) Blockbuster Video can be used to protect us from prying, data-hungry tech giants. Which… is asinine. It is absurd that a law meant to protect people who rented Emmanuelle IV represents our best chance to get stronger data privacy regulations in the...

  “Responding to a user who wrote that ‘every year I’m sad to learn that next season won’t be the book where he kills his way through a white supremacist militia camp,’ Ritchson explained that the novel (titled ‘Die Trying’) is his ‘favorite book.’ ‘Fun fact: I had it approved until someone got re-elected.’” https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/alan-ritchson-jack-reacher-novel-die-trying-1236870453/

James Purcell and Andrew Taeger have spent nearly two years just mastering the rules and practicing, and they are ready to start playing the game for real. Finishing it could take decades, if it doesn’t driv...
