I had fun writing up this article about my favorite things at the Made by Google event. Having a host that can be entertaining and think on their feet – comedian Trevor Noah this time – makes a huge difference (are you listening Apple?). More here: www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...
My Favorite Things from Made by Google 2026 - CNET
Google announced everything before its actual live event, but there were still plenty of interesting things at the company’s Pixel announce event.

Joe Biden took an hours-long secret train ride into war-torn Ukraine, and Trump got hustled away in a catering truck to get out of a friendly nation. OK.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 6d agoI'm sorry, they snuck President Trump off Air Force One in an airport catering truck? What?
Just in case it’s not clear, this is all bullshit from RFKJr. It’s all been debunked.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoTrump: "Decades ago, children received only a small fraction of the vaccines required today. In those times, people were much healthier and of course the high rates of autism now observed did not exist. There's a reason for such epidemic rates of autism."
Along with its renamed "2.0" plans and 36-month installment plans, T-Mobile dropped an unlimited phone plan that it announced just in January. More details here: www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

Trump threatens to pull Todd Blanche’s nomination and renominate him after the midterms. This makes the Epstein Files, Trump’s slush fund for insurrectionists, and tax fraud immunity major topics heading into the midterms.
PatriotTakes 🇺🇸@patriottakes.bsky.social · 3w agoTrump just made the midterms about his Epstein files coverup
What “they” did to your kids. Remind me again, who was president in the spring and fall of 2020 when the majority of in-person school closures happened?

America at the beginning of the pandemic was united in following the science. Then RW assholes found a way to exploit the inconvenience of thinking about others
Politico@politico.com · 3w agoBesides the illness and death, the disruption and the loneliness, Americans remember the pandemic for its vitriol. Former Covid czar Anthony Fauci’s appearance on Capitol Hill brought it all back. 🔗 politi.co/3TqOaUc

This is great research. It is a reason I never rely on brand name anymore (unless I know the history of the company to the present day) but look at RECENT reviews.
@laperry2.bsky.social · 4w agoI went to the farmer’s market by bike, locked it up for 10¢ in a locker at light rail, then took light rail one stop. Round trip was within two hours so $3 fare. Love this city.
My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

Today we celebrate Jeff Goldblum saving the world with a PowerBook 5300.
A reminder that as you see photos of those Patriot Front douchebags today, they are marching on a holiday because none of them have anywhere else to be. None of them have friends or family who want them around on a holiday. No one is missing them today. They're already with their only friends.
4 MONTHS FROM TODAY are the Midterm Elections. Make sure you & everyone you know are registered to VOTE. VOTE for Dems to take back the House & Senate. VOTE to hold the most corrupt individual ever to occupy the WH accountable! VOTE to let our country to begin to heal. 🇺🇸 On 11/3/26: VOTE BLUE 🌊
It’s time for some impeachment. They are compromised.
Andrew Weinstein@andrewjweinstein.com · 2mo agoThe real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.
Donald Trump appointed military leaders who swore an oath to him and abandoned the Constitution. If Trump feels so defeated that he resorts to the use of nuclear weapons on Iran, I’m not sure there’s anyone left who would try to stop him.
Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️
This is how you know there's some terrible shit in the Save America Act designed to keep him in power.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agowow -- Trump is crashing out: "Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT"
My book refers to Musk’s USAID cuts as a Silicon Valley genocide. The richest man in the world took a chainsaw to the poorest people in the world. Laughing. So much money, so much death. Remember their names when billionaires preach “abundance.” 👇 In their AI dreams, we are all the future poor.
Lauren Dobson-Hughes@ldobsonhughes.bsky.social · 2mo agoMusk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
Last week I spent time with folks from Visit Seattle and Sky Elements to get a behind-the-scenes look at how they're putting on Seattle's World Cup Scoreboard drone show. 400 drones in 6 shows showcase that day's Seattle World Cup game teams and final score. www.cnet.com/culture/spor...

Delighted to share some good news 🧪 “This hugely encouraging news shows the life-saving impact of the HPV vaccine, and it’s incredibly exciting to be able to say to this whole generation: cervical cancer shouldn’t be a risk for you,” says Caroline Temmink www.newscientist.com/article/2530...
No young women have died of cervical cancer in England for years
We already know the vaccine against human papillomavirus, or HPV, greatly reduces infections and cases of cervical cancer, and now we have the first evidence it prevents deaths too
