While we're talking about inappropriate texting..... I tried (and failed) to get to the bottom of why some people get "start a Check In with..." notificaitons on their phone. The Check In is meant to alert a contact when you reach your destination, but people are getting suggestions to tell their mom, a random friend, or even.... their ex https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-check-in-siri-ex-boss-why-how-to-2024-9

What I love about NYC is that there's nowhere else in the country (the world????) where you can get a soda, bag of Doritos, and some cold medicine at 10pm like you can in a Brooklyn bodega 🥰

This has got to be one of the all-time, hall of fame curmudgeon columns. Headline is just pure local crank. 10/10, 5 stars https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/08/05/metro/bike-lanes-boylston-amazon-uber/

This spring, when the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA cryptically both quit at the same time, saying they couldn't speak out about it, I was dying to know THE JUICE about what actually happened. Turns out there's been simmering discussion on the pageant circuit brewing, especially at the new management of MissUSA https://www.businessinsider.com/miss-usa-pageant-scandals-queens-laylah-rose-organization-2024-7

YouTubeTV on Apple TV: is it me or is this like, the most impossible app to navigate, where seemingly everytime I touch a button that would normally do something expected like "take me back to the menu" or "start playing again" it instead like, fully x's me out of hte app or starts the show over. Its maddening
