Apple forced me to update iOS to 26, and they seem to have hidden some AI features, versus the clear toggle from before?

In the song “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails, further popularized by Johnny Cash, do they sing:
“What have I become, my Swedish friend?”
Like you’re existentially asking your pal Bjorn.
or is it more like
“What? Have I become my Swedish friend?”
Like you may have become Bjorn.

Every generation of cultural studies undergrads has something which they want to talk about, which they like, but they can't quite bring themselves to be truly critical of. Punk rock, then Buffy, Taylor Swift. All of that has disappeared to be replaced by K Pop papers.

For some reason I'm remembering Al Franken's SNL bit where he complained about Frankenberry cereal having stolen his name, and then covering the face drawn character, but not the top of its head, and saying "That's my butt!"

You can trust that the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social folks will treat that legacy with love and care. They’ve fostered quite a community in Chicago. It’s one of my favorite “third places,” and I’ve met a lot of people, had great experiences, and made good friends there.
