@nileane@nileane.fr @BenRiceM@mastodon.social My hope is that it will encourage more awareness of how horrific her actions have been and how engaging with the franchise is now very toxic.
It could also just be a terrible show which would make everyone ask why we’re still doing this franchise.
But let’s be honest, these hopes are exactly that. No guarantee any of it will happen.

In this week’s Club @macstories@mastodon.macstories.net Weekly, I shared my thoughts on why pursuing Meta-style smart glasses with cameras is a no-win strategy for Apple and maybe any company.

“With the arrival of Siri AI, these disparate parts start to coalesce into a bigger picture: a watch that can finally be a useful wrist computer. It’s not all the way there just yet, but even so — I’m still pretty excited.”
Ditto!

In this week’s Club @macstories@mastodon.macstories.net Weekly, I made the pitch for Apple entering the market with a new health tracking wristband. Is now the time for them to pull the trigger?

In this week’s Club @macstories@mastodon.macstories.net Weekly, I wrote not one, but two pieces. The first is about the ‘Maclock’ and how everyone should get one. In the second I have three mini-tips for speeding up daily use of your Mac.

And I am back on my… ahem… writing for Club @macstories@mastodon.macstories.net Weekly. This week I’m reflecting on Tim Cook’s legacy, and how his more recent actions may affect it.

I’ve been enjoying reading MacStories Weekly completely cold these past couple of weeks. Some of you might have noticed I’ve taken a step back from writing a weekly column for the newsletter. This is due to a family matter and I hope to be back talking varying amounts nonsense in a couple of weeks! @macstories@mastodon.macstories.net

My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
Perfection every time. So great to see my daughter call out for Totoro when he appeared.
A great time talking to fellow Brit and Notion wizard, Simon, aka ‘Better Creating’. Lots of great advice for organising your workflows, as well as some fun tales of his Dad's musical experimentation. @flepodcast@mastodon.macstories.net
@Robinkanatzar@mastodon.green Congrats on the Apple mention. So cool!
A great way to round off the season. Wonderful chatting with the awesome @nileane@nileane.fr about her early tech days and the importance of online communities.

Rebel Ridge (2024)
This was an absolute fucking blinder. Yet another great film buried in the Netflix vault where, sadly, way too few people will find it.

Bluey at the Cinema: Playdates with Friends (2026)
Maybe not a proper movie but it was in the cinema and it’s still one of the most perfect things I’ll watch all year there.

I'm so excited to have Evan Ratliff on the latest episode of FLE. Shell Game is one of my favourite podcasts, and I've recently enjoyed discovering Evan's previous work.
Fascinating chat. Thanks to Evan for letting me go long – I had so much to ask! @flepodcast@mastodon.macstories.net
This was a delight. @macsparky@mastodon.social is a super smart, generous guy.

@matt_birchler@mastodon.social I enjoyed the first one a lot and they’re very much going back to the well for some parts which is still fun in a disposable way. The new villain cast is good though so I still enjoyed it (Elijah Wood is fun!). Without giving away anything, I did find myself wondering where the hell they were heading in act 3 which was a nice twist from the first two.
I’d say if you enjoyed the first you’ll enjoy this in a fun, turn your brain off kinda way.
I totally missed Trans Day of Visibility yesterday (poor excuse, but it was my birthday). So I belatedly urge you to go read The Verge's excellent series about being trans online. It's now free!

@agiletortoise Yeah, I liked Green Room. Will be checking out Love Murder Party and Blue Ruin soon I think.
Excited for this one!
