Let me direct you to the following quotation from the linked Washington Post article:
To offset the bill’s cost, Republicans proposed steep cuts to Medicaid, the state and federal health insurance program for low-income individuals and disabled people; and SNAP, the anti-hunger Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known as food stamps.
Think about that for a moment. The Republican Party‘s best idea to offset the costs of this monstrosity of a bill is to directly hurt the most vulnerable in American society by impacting their ability to access healthcare and food. For most people I have come to know all over this planet, doing something like this would be a hard no.
Republican voters, this is not what you voted for, is it? You have more compassion and care for your neighbors than this, right?

As a lifelong Cubs fan, it’s strange to hear Chip Caray calling a Cardinals game. On the other hand, it’s nice to hear Chip Caray calling a game again.

We’re at a very interesting pivot point in the technology business where the teams pushing to deliver Gen AI capabilities to clients are not comfortable with using the same technology to create their own content.
What that tells me from a product perspective is what we have known for a while: evidence packages and transparency are critical for the adoption of Gen AI in critical business use cases.

Trump is an embarrassing buffoon, and his lap dogs standing behind him in that address looked incredibly weak. Can you imagine the conversation before that spectacle? “All right, guys, just stand behind me with your most awesome warrior faces. Oh, and make sure you nod in agreement to everything I say. That will look strong on TV.”

Apple is adding some great interoperability features in iOS and iPadOS 26 that will make traveling with multiple devices much more user friendly and will make it possible to stream content easily with devices besides those that already support AirPlay.
Even though this seems super technical, end-users are going to love these features!

The Apple world had a bit of a freak out this week over rumors that Apple was changing their operating system naming conventions to match the release year (or more accurately, the retirement year). Honestly, the software industry moved to this type of naming convention years ago so I really don’t see why this is a huge shock to anyone.
What I really don’t understand is why Apple is over-complicating everything based on the rumors. The idea of using the retirement year in the name makes no sense for software.
We know Apple releases major versions of their operating systems one time per year and then releases minor versions and patches sporadically until the next major release. In my view, it would be much more user-friendly to use {major release year}.{minor release}.{patch}. So, the version to be released later this year would be 2025.0.0. This is assuming Apple wants to keep assuming major releases can only happen once per year. If they really wanted to make things easy on end users and developers, Apple would scrap this idea all together and use a {year}.{month}.{patch} naming convention. Users would have no question whether or not they were on a later release.
The same goes for hardware. I think we can all agree that it is absolutely ridiculous that we need to go to a website to figure out which year our Apple devices were released. I think a {year}.{month} naming convention would make a lot of sense here.
I know this all sounds silly, but these small changes in the way we interact with technology make a big difference in the long run.
