"Gurman also writes that a new iMac, which could launch next month, will bring USB-C “Magic” accessories like a mouse."

We'll finally get to see how Apple will respond to its most egregious design choice ever.

Apple’s USB-C shift could bring back the MagSafe Duo and Battery Pack

Apple’s discontinued MagSafe Battery Pack and MagSafe Duo accessories could still get the USB-C treatment at some point.

Now that I've seen Margot Robbie on a picket line I really want a "Strike Barbie" doll. #SAGAFTRAstrong

"Castmates from the various generations of the show [Star Trek] met on the picket line outside the the gates of Paramount Pictures, where they once taped episodes."

#StarTrek cast beams down to the picket line in support of the writer and actors strike.

This is easily the best #SAGAFTRAstrong picketer ever. Wag for SAG!

#Twitter aka X may plan on verifying ID. Not the kind of company I'd hand over this level of data to.

This graph depicting the demise of traditional #TV against #streaming shares an eerie similarity to the radar image of the Death Star on track to blow up Yavin 4 in #StarWars.

Star Trek: #StrangeNewWorlds continues to be one of the best #StarTrek series to come along. It has been a welcome change amongst other attempts that had no idea what the core tenants of Gene Roddenberry's original series were.

The season two finale is on a level not seen since Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, Best of Both Worlds, Part 1. Highly recommended if you're not watching already.

Fantastic television!
