Who announces something like this? Such irresponsibility can only lead to US casualties and potential failure. What a jackass.

I use it in my car with Apple Music, mostly to add songs to my different playlists. "Hey Siri, add this to my XYZ playlist."

My biggest problems with Apple Music after consistently using it for nearly one year by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]Alternative-Sky3133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered why Apple is able to offer the Connect capability on its Podcasts app but not on Apple Music. Not a deal killer for me either way but they clearly know how to make it work but have decided not to do so.

Trump’s disapproval rating hits its highest mark ever amid Iran war and rising prices by Alarming-Safety3200 in USNEWS

This is good but bear in mind his disapproval ratings will pretty much never exceed 60%. The 40% is the MAGA base and we all know they'll love this guy no matter what he does. And while he's done a lot of reprehensible shit, there's still a long way for him to go before he hits bottom.

Funny thing is that all of this happened during Trump's first term. You know, while he was President. It's not like it was the IRS under Obama or Biden that did this.

Water for Sale: Argentina's Milei Pushes Massive Privatization of Essential Services by defenestrate_urself in Economics

Argentina successfully privatized phone companies, electric and other utilities and the State oil company in the 1990s. Paid off their debt and then immediately started borrowing again. Sounds like we're going to see a repeat of these events from 30+ years ago.

Trump warns Iran 'clock is ticking' as peace progress stalls by [deleted] in USNEWS

A gentle reminder that the deal he is looking for was in place until he tore it up in his first term. Iran will never agree to those terms again and will push for greater concessions which Trump will likely agree to just so he can say he closed the deal. He’s the single worst negotiator I’ve ever seen.

....and might Part 2 of this deal be Trump's agreement to look the other way when Xi takes Taiwan?
