  Only a site like 9to5Mac could get two stories from essentially the same piece of information. https://9to5mac.com/2026/07/21/apple-debuting-new-apple-upgrade-leasing-program-next-week-per-report/ https://9to5mac.com/2026/07/21/apple-winding-down-iphone-upgrade-program-report/

  Sysco was blocked from acquiring U.S. Foods in 2015 for $3.5 billion. Something not in this article but relevant: U.S. Foods returned to the public market shortly thereafter and is now a $20 billion company. https://www.worseonpurpose.com/p/your-dinner-got-worse-on-purpose

  “Blog” is short for “backlog”.

  I know it’s a classic record and I’m not breaking any news here, but the second half of “In Utero” remains a near-spiritual experience.

  ‘Reclaim the Net went even further, claiming the decree represented a “formal, court-enforceable admission: the federal government pressured social media platforms to silence protected speech.”’ (https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/27/the-missouri-v-biden-settlement-is-a-fake-victory-for-a-case-they-lost/) The RTN article is attributed to a person who probably does not exist and who used to be represented on the site by an A.I.-generated image. RTN is an InfoWars-like conspiracy site.
