Weird how Twitter / X didn’t get a warning. I wonder why.


Tim's recent "sleight" of Dear Leader (late Jan, re: murders in minneapolis)

It seems all that sucking up hasn't completely payed off, has it Tim. Appeasing authoritarians is never the answer.


Don't worry, a $75 million Apple TV doc "Junior" and everything will be cushy again.


Always try to consume a balanced news diet of The New Yorker and The New York Post.


The letter: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/apple-news-warn...

Where it says: "Recently, there have been reports that Apple News has systematically promoted news articles from left-wing news outlets and suppressed news articles from more conservative publications. Indeed, multiple studies have found that in recent months Apple News has chosen not to feature a single article from an American conservative-leaning news source, while simultaneously promoting hundreds of articles from liberal publications."

Sounds a bit like "Fairness Doctrine for me but not for thee".
