There's a new app on Quick Stuff: Aspect Ratio (great name, I know).

Basically, if you need an image of a certain aspect ratio quickly, this will add colored borders for a few common ratios. Could be one for me and me only…

@jonathanreed You made it to the end!

On the meta side of things, your use of colors on all the reviews in this series were A+ 👌

In this clip I propose the best of both worlds: a Magic Keyboard attachment that works with a tablet with a hinge for standing the thing up when you don't have the keyboard around.

Not sure you could invent a more thematically appropriate plot point than the Democrats being so old that enough of them died out to let the Republicans pass their bill that will negatively impact millions of people’s health and finances

Photo by David Chen on May 22, 2025. May be an image of 1 person and text that says '7 minutes ago Maya C. Miller Reporting from Capitol Hill The unexpected death of Representative Gerald E. Connolly of Virginia, who served as the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee and lost a battle with esophageal cancer yesterday, could not have come at a worse time for Democrats. If they had had one one more "no" vote, Republicans would have had to sway one more of their holdouts to pass the bill.'.

@agiletortoise Two years ago I would have fought you on this, but I made the change and totally agree this is the only way.

Earlier I had this as my hand going into the final turn but still had no way to win, so Marvel Snap gives and takes.

@cliophate As an American, I don’t think this will change our behavior at all 😅

Fortnite back on top of the App Store like it’s 2019 all over.

@andyn @ljpuk @nileane That’s fair! I relatively liked user as well, but I’m also old, which means I tend to like to have a library. That’s easy to browse and no one does that better than Apple Music in my opinion.

Spotify be like a library. “WTF is a library???” 😂

@ljpuk @nileane Haha was gonna say the same thing. I wish I liked it, but it ain’t it for me.

Really struggling to be on Mastodon because everyone I follow is (very lovely and brilliant) very right on, very left wing, and very morally outraged. Obviously with very good cause, but I really miss the silliness of old school twitter when it wasn't just an echo chamber of doom every time I logged on. Who can I follow that just toots memes and daft shit to make me smile? Or has a lovely account that isn't frequently tweeting politics? Would love recommendations to try balance my feed out ❤️

Trump cabinet members' showings at hearings today were total disasters, but it doesn't make headlines because the media's default assumption is that Republicans are clownish rascals. But if Dem officials didn't know what was happening at their own agencies or what habeas corpus is, it would be front page news. This is the key media asymmetry.

Checked my email to see if I got invited to WWDC and all I saw was my car payment receipt. Lame.
