What about on the iPad? Is it possible to hide the sidebar and go truly full screen?

I first recognized you in public a few years back because our kids our classmates.

Now I get excited when I see the "Did the Jepoardy contestants shake hands?" guy.

No matter what uniform they wear, armed federal agents and military troops must respect constitutional rights to peaceful assembly, freedom of speech, and due process. If troops or federal agents violate these boundaries, they and their leadership should face legal consequences.

I thought I was done with bike rides until Spring, but 67 degrees on November 14th in Minnesota proved me wrong.

I dunno, it WOULD be kinda cool to see Mamdani get elected on the day Dick Cheney died.

Our daughter applied to college today. Three of them, in fact. Regardless of their decisions, "proud" doesn't even come close to how we feel about the work she's put in to get to this point.

As far as I'm concerned, this thread could not be anymore on the nose than it already is.

A tweet from Alex Cole says: β€œMy favorite No Kings protest sign.” The attached photo shows a protest crowd in front of a city building. One protester holds a large handmade sign in red and blue letters that reads: β€œNOT A PAID PROTESTER β€” I HATE TRUMP FOR FREE.” Other smaller protest signs and American flags are visible around them.

I haven’t been on a bike ride in awhile because of illness and/or weather, but I got a nice welcome when I got back out there this morning.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

I remenber a lot of these, especially Starlog because I was obsessed with it when I was a teenager.

In the new version, when in dark mode on both iOS 26 and iPadOS26 the menubar at the bottom and buttons at the top of the screen start dark but then turn white and stay that way. See attached screenshot. Is that intentional?
