My theory is that tech bros hate humanities because they've all tried once to impress a girl studding English Lit by talking about a book and they were all laughed at for their complete misreading of the text.

Apple TV's colorful new intro was created with real glass and practical effects - 9to5Mac Apple TV+ recently became just Apple TV and introduced a vibrant new logo and intro as part of the brand...

For once, the new Apple TV intro was made in real life. With light, glass, and a few practical effects. I like it, a lot! #apple

More on this here, including a making-of video: 9to5mac.com/2025/11/06/a...

Walking past an Italian restaurant with an outdoor area. Theyโ€™re playing โ€œDonโ€™t Stop Believingโ€

Great timing. I waited for the Xbox release. There was much pausing at night to see if the noises were BB or the 12mo not sleepingโ€ฆ

Alan Wake 2. Iโ€™m nearing the end & really donโ€™t want it to finish. The first one was great too. About a writer & is heavily Twin Peaks inspired.

I shouldโ€™ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered havenโ€™t arrived and I canโ€™t get a straight answer on what happened to them

What a great car name.

Rรคikkรถnen's sensational Suzuka '05 win: Japan's greatest race? Twenty years ago, Kimi Rรคikkonen put in one of the finest drives of his Formula 1 career at Suzuka to win from 17th on the grid. Matt Bishop looks back at an awe-inspiring performance

Can it really be 20 years ago that Kimi Rรคikkรถnen drove an utterly storming race to win the greatest #JapaneseGP thereโ€™s ever been? Yes, it can be, & it is, for it happened #OnThisDay in 2005. Click below to read my #MotorSport column.

That car & driver (both of them) combo was amazing. Shame the early season reliability cost them.

I think it should be socially and legally acceptable to smack these clean off somebody's face if they're filming you against your will

Side-by-side: Fiat 500e vs Abarth 500e Fiat's enduring small car, the 500, has gone all-electric (for now) and we drove the two versions available in Australia: quick and quicker.

If you told me the two most popular stories on The Redline would be the Chevrolet Corvette and a comparison of the two electric Fiat 500s on sale in Australia, I'd have told you that you were nuts.

And yet...the Fiat story in particular powers on.

The rear end of an Aston Martin in the foreground, a sad old sack of a motoring writer in the background. The sun is glinting off the hind quarter of the Aston.
