Huawei will launch a tri-fold smartphone with 10-inch display next week
  • Screen durability and the distracting crease are the two biggest problems with foldables, so they are making a phone where a third of the screen is always unprotected, added an additional crease, and sharpened the radius of both creases. Hard pass for me (and most people), but this is more of a statement piece for their manufacturing and engineering prowess than a mass market product. Hopefully the advances they make will improve single fold devices.

    ABC Debate Debate
  • I'm honestly surprised by this. They want him to self destruct on live television. If they make fun of him like they've been doing in every press release it will probably work.

    This will require Harris to still command the room and come across as professional and presidential though, which might be harder than it sounds when Trump can tell as many outrageous lies as he wants. I think she can do it, but it's a risk.

    'The Acolyte' Canceled: Disney's Star Wars Spinoff Done After One Season
  • It was nowhere near as bad as the reviews suggest. Manny Jacinto was honestly great. The Stranger's helmet design with the metal cables looking like a deranged smile was cool, as was his ability to temporarily disable lightsabers. The new king fu element to the fight scenes was interesting.

    Donald Trump Falsely Claims Taylor Swift’s Endorsement with Garbage AI-Generated Posts
  • The uncle Sam image is clearly AI, but the pictures with people in "Swifties for Trump" shirts look real. But there is a "satire" tag on one of them...

    Either he believes the images are real, or he knows they are fake and is trying to meme a little. Either way he is a moron. If this forces Taylor's hand to either disavow Trump or just straight endorse Harris, he's cooked.

    What would you make a core of a Borderlands movie for it not to suck as the recent one?
  • He was in a tough situation. We need to remember the extent of right wing vitriol and hate. Anyone who speaks out against Trump gets death threats. Their concerts would have had protestors outside. Continuing the tour could have been a safety risk for their fans. I'm not saying cancelling everything was the right move, but it's not as simple as "dick riding for Donald Trump."

    Melania Trump cashed six-figure check to speak to gay Republicans at Mar-a-Lago
  • They've been around awhile. During the pre-MAGA, "friends across the aisle" times I could see the value of creating a group that generally aligns with the Republican platform (low taxes, small government, etc.) but supports gay rights and pushes for progress on that issue from within the party.

    Today though, anti-LGBT sentiment is so strong within the party that it's hard to understand why the Log Cabin Republicans continue to exist, especially when they are openly shunned by the party.

    ‘Bumble fumble’: online dating apps struggle as people swear off swiping
  • I don't mind the concept of dating apps, but nearly all of the useful features are paywalled. I also wouldn't mind paying a few bucks for a service I find useful, but the prices are outrageous.

    ‘His rhetoric has made Tesla toxic’: is Elon Musk driving away his target market?
  • Tesla's image is definitely tarnished. It may not be meaningfully affecting their bottom line or forecasts yet, but a bad reputation is hard to fix. As competitors start to step up and current owners look to replace their aging Teslas over the next few years, it's going to make a difference. I've got high hopes for Rivian, personally.

    The building where I work is decorated exclusively with art donated by local artists. I think this one is super cool.
