I’m going to backup my iPhone in case it decides to upgrade itself to iOS 26.2 now. It’s ANNOYING! I KNEW it was a bad idea!

Mom’s iPhone accidentally/was forced to upgrade to iOS 26.2. It was low on battery charge, so I plugged it last night. The phone updated itself. I should have backed up Mom’s phone. She HATES it now! All the AI crap is turned off from before, but now it doesn’t remember wh the phone setting is.

One ICE officer has pleaded guilty in raping a woman who just wanted to see her daughter. There are probably thousands more cases that we don‘t know about.

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

THANK YOU, KEN BURNS, for not romanticizing or sugar coating the American Revolution and exposing the reality behind America’s so called Revolution for blacks, Native Americans, and the hypocrisy of the founding fathers!

Also, during the American Revolution, the British offered slaves FREEDOM for fighting against the Americans who did their best to recapture the slaves to be resold or given back to their masters! Washington was afraid of slaves rebellion against them just like they did 3 times in Haiti!

Gee, thanks for the sanitized version of the American Revolution, NOT! Apparently, WE TRIED TO INVADE CANADA during the Revolution, but we were stopped by small pox ravaging the troops! THANK YOU, SMALL POX, FOR STOPPING US!

Stickerapp, stickerninja, diecutstickers, stickerrobot, bumperactive, literally any other sticker website is better than Stickermule. Hell, printing them yourself on plain paper, cutting them out with dull scissors, and applying glue stick to the back by hand is better than Stickermule.
The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know:

It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

Laura Jedeed is a very entertaining writer who enjoys shoeleather reporting. In another era she’d write for GQ or Rolling Stone.
Hi there, my Slate article about ICE is blowing up and I've been talking into a microphone nonstop all day

I'm going to make a thread of the interviews I've done already, and the ones I'm going to do in the next few days. Feel free to check them out if you would like to!
