In addition to teasing WWDC 2026 with a new tagline today, Apple has shared a wallpaper, playlist, and a “Get Ready” video ahead of the event. iPhone, iPad, and Mac versions of the wallpaper are available to download on Apple’s website. The wallpaper features a dark color scheme with a glowing Apple logo, which likely hints at Siri’s rumored new design coming with iOS 27.

Alexa Demie, ‘Euphoria’s Most Elusive It Girl, Is Ready to Talk

Alexa Demie, ‘Euphoria’s Most Elusive It Girl, Is Ready to Talk

Published by Daniella Wilson

Alexa Demie is not retiring from acting. If you are wondering why this even needs to be said of a 35-year-old actress coming off the final season of TV’s buzziest show and the most high-profile gig of her career, then you have clearly not been paying attention to the more Euphoria-obsessed corners of the internet. Since the start of this third season, a theory has circulated that Demie intends to stop acting entirely after the series wraps. The source, it turns out, was an unknown keyboard warrior who recirculated, without context, a 2020 episode of The A24 Podcast on which Demie complained to The Curse star Nathan Fielder about a period early in her career when it felt like all the good parts were going to white girls; she questioned whether there was space for Latina actresses in Hollywood, and whether she wanted to keep putting up with auditioning at all. Unbeknownst to Demie, who says she assiduously avoids her own headlines, rumors of her imminent industry exit started to gain traction. When I ask …

New Apple TV and HomePod Mini Are ‘Nearly Ready’ to Launch, New Siri Remote Also Rumored

Published by skeptic

New models of the Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini are “nearly ready to go,” according to the latest word from Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman. Both devices have been ready “for months,” but Apple is holding off on launching them until the more personalized version of Siri is available, he said. “I am told the hardware for the next Apple TV set-top box and HomePod mini has been done for months and that both devices are already in active use among employees at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California,” wrote Gurman. If you have been closely following Apple TV and HomePod mini rumors, this is a familiar narrative. The revamped Siri is finally expected to launch as part of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, which will be unveiled during the WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8. Following beta testing, the software updates should be widely released in September, so the new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini models should be available to purchase by then. In other words, the devices are hopefully around …

AI is coming for your YouTube feed algorithm, if you want it. The platform announced a new feature this week that can create a personalized feed based on a prompt describing your interests.

Teny Geragos Is Ready for the Post-MeToo Era

Teny Geragos Is Ready for the Post-MeToo Era

Published by Sam Flores

Well, what I opened on is that there wasn’t going to be one overall incentive for all of them, and I still don’t—you don’t see, like, one overarching incentive. Money is always an incentive for people, and jurors take a really hard look at that. In the Alexander trial, the vast majority were allowed to testify under full pseudonyms. So they were allowed to come in under a name that wasn’t their own and swear on an oath.… To me, it was such an erosion of the presumption of innocence and an erosion of our process. One of Weinstein’s previous attorneys during his first trial in 2020 was Donna Rotunno. When Vanity Fair ran a profile of her tied to the trial, the headline was “Who Would Defend Harvey Weinstein?” Now it’s like, lots of people. That’s amazing. She was also on the cover of Chicago magazine as “the anti–Gloria Allred.” I love that. Why? I think—as the anti–Gloria Allred—in many ways what she has done is incredible for women; I have to put that …

Rubio says US ready to mediate peace as Moscow steps up threats to strike Kyiv

Rubio says US ready to mediate peace as Moscow steps up threats to strike Kyiv

Published by Sam Flores

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that Washington remains ready to mediate in the war between Russia and Ukraine, after Moscow threatened new strikes on Kyiv. Russia’s warning, including a call for foreign diplomats to flee the Ukrainian capital, marks a fresh escalation in the more than four-year war, with Moscow vowing “systematic” attacks on Kyiv, including on “decision-making centres.” Rubio’s offer came after Russia battered Ukraine over the weekend, including firing its Oreshnik hypersonic missile, and following a phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. “Every time you see these big strikes from one side or the other, it’s a reminder of why this is a terrible war that’s now gone on longer than the Second World War, and it needs to come to an end,” Rubio told reporters during an official visit to India. “The US stands ready and prepared to help do whatever we can to help facilitate the end of this war, and hopefully the opportunity will present itself at some point.” Russia’s weekend barrage, involving dozens …

10 Odd Changes In A Man’s Daily Routine When He’s Getting Ready To Ask For A Divorce

Published by Jenni Sidey

The mundane parts of our lives are what define our relationships. The small conversations before bed or holding hands in the grocery store, as well as making space for small acts of kindness, create longevity, even when they seem unsuspecting. However, when these daily lifestyle choices and moments together shift, it can be a red flag.  Sometimes, it’s stress and tension in each partner’s life. Over time, those stressors can put a major strain on even the healthiest relationships. And certain odd changes in a man’s daily routine can also mean he’s getting ready to ask for a divorce, despite seeming harmless in the moment.
