“Turning Off the News”
“Turning Off the News”
From The Borowitz Report, “Turning Off the News”: I’m not a neuroscientist like George Santos, but in my experience, turning off the news is good for your mental health.

I thought this dream was about the passing of time: you can’t go home again, as everything has changed. Elaine thinks I’m already dreaming about deportations.

“Write smarter,” sez the ad. But is this revised e-mail an example of smart writing? I don’t think so.

Background Sounds bug zapped?
The release notes for macOS Sequoia 15.1 make no mention of it, but according to a Reddit user, the update fixes the Background Sounds bug. It sure sounds like it.
