If Trump keeps calling it the Epstein hoax, why is he ordering investigations into prominent Democrats in relation to it?
Is it a hoax or legitimate enough investigate it further?
Messaging mayhem as usual from that guy.

That feeling when the lying, double-speaking, self-aggrandizing, and hypocritical aspects all finally click into place and you realize the type of person Trump really is and the shock sets in. x.com/repmtg/statu...
15.11.2025 16:00 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The Galaxy Edge and iPhone Air being released, unloved by most and then canceled should serve as a shining beacon to OEMs to stop with the thin phone concept. People want more battery and more cameras, not less. People do not want to pay more for less.
I saw this coming.
I actually liked having my wallpaper as the background, not gray! How about let us use our Material You color or even a blurred wallpaper as the alarm background?

How about create a filter for only main conversations to appear in the list of conversations? OR dedicated tabs in the bottom button bar that only show the threads OR the main conversations. Cripes, anything would be better at this point.
Fix this unusable mess, now, @Google.
You CAN unfollow threads and they disappear but they still technically exist.
What is even more annoying is that there is a filter button to only SHOW THE THREADS, but there is no such button to do the opposite and only show the main conversations, which is such a stupid design.
I cannot be the only one who thinks the way Google Chat handles threaded conversations is insanely cumbersome and user-unfriendly right?
Every thread creates its own mini conversation and clutters up the list of conversations with dozens of these which is terrible for usability.
Sorta unrelated except the thumbnail. But seeing my Lemongrass Pixel 10 always puts a smile on my face. Love that colorway. #TeamPixel. #PixelSuperFans. #GooglePixel. #Pixel10.

Will decide if it fits my setup once pricing is available.
No test needed. Lots of people will buy/defend anything from a company they have aligned themselves with or made their identity.
Same thing works with politicians.

Yeah. The main thing I dislike on iOS 26.1 on my iPhone 13 Mini is RAM management. Apps that I used a few minutes ago are reloading and it is getting harder to ignore.
Battery life is definitely down from iOS 18.7.1, as well, but not terribly so. Maybe an hour or so. #iOS26.
Day 3 on iOS 26.1 on my iPhone 13 Mini. Battery life is definitely not bad. I would say slightly worse than iOS 18.7.1. But I am still testing.
RAM management has definitely taken a hit. Apps reload noticeably more often but the CPU powers through reloading. #iOS26. #iPhone13.
The one thing I dislike is the Liquid Glass clock on my black space lock screen wallpaper has turned the font that was previously red to an extremely dark burgundy. It kinda looks like congealed blood.
I have to mess with that to fix it. Otherwise it has been fine? #iOS26.
So far, to my amazement, performance has been pretty darned good, with no lagging or stuttering and it seems as fast as before on iOS 18.7.1. Battery life seems fairly on par, as well, but it will take a while to truly determine.
I will keep you updated on it. #iOS26. #iPhone13.
I honestly can not believe I did this.
Word to the wise, folks, never perform an update when you are tired.
Oh crap! I accidentally updated my iPhone 13 Mini to iOS 26.1 instead of iOS 18.7.2! #iOS26.

But my Pixel 10 is clearly cooler even on strict 5G only usage under almost all scenarios. Yay. #Pixel10. #TeamPixel.
Yeah, I mean, GOP owns the executive branch, congressional branch, and majority of the Supreme Court but:
It is the Democrats' fault.
Compared to my Pixel 8 shot, from a month ago, which I also really liked for what it was: bsky.app/profile/lbph...

Never had this problem on my Pixel 8. #Android16.
I think I like it. Anything is better than the same-y four-color icons we have now. I never really liked those because they made the cognitive load of discerning the individual apps from each other much too high.
