Tech, Apple, Disneyland, Pixar, Nintendo, TV, and Film are my jam.

@sepinwall A Barnes & Noble in Northern California had copies out too. Had to resist looking inside - waiting for my pre-ordered copy and can’t wait to dive in!

@FrankGamingNews I don’t see a way to send you a DM

@FrankGamingNews You still have a code left?

It is wild watching For All Mankind and seeing stories in the news about going back to the moon and building a lunar base. Great show that captures the wonders of space!

@TheDutchSlayer @Alastor8472 That’s very kind of you. It’s been BlueSky craziness on Twitter these last few days and it sounds like a cool alternative. Have to find a way to follow the tech, film, and Nintendo crowd once I’m over there. Thank you!

More streamers need to copy the Apple TV+ approach to premiere times! There’s no excuse to premiere a show at midnight PT anymore. Looking right at you, Disney+

TV PSA: The new season of #TedLasso drops tonight at 9pm ET/6 pm PT. You don’t have to wait until midnight to watch.

@TheFienPrint One of my favorite films from last year. Can’t get enough of the music and the score!

@JetBlue Hello! I was e-mailed about a flight change on JetBlue’s end and was told that if I changed my flight, I wouldn’t have to pay difference in fare. When I changed my flight online, it had me pay ~$50. Can you please help me with this?

@CaseyNewton @platformer Theorizing feels like an impossible task when E M is involved but my guess is that the $8/month he’s tweeting about is the $99 annual plan you’re reporting (working out to ~$8/month) and that there would be a separate monthly plan option for $10/month.

@panzer Yesssss! I went to Aulani for the first time back in December. That Hawaii trip yielded some of my all-time favorite photos.

[Samad Rizvi @Samad_Rizvi]

@samara_who Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear this. Sending you and @teddow lots of love and hugs. ❤️

@CaseyNewton I love your use of the word superstitious here - perfectly captures it. I refuse to let my wife watch TikToks on my account. “You could screw up my algorithm if you don’t click Not Interested on that one video I would have!”

It’s pretty clear that AppleTV+ has been trying to model its content akin to HBO. And they’ve done a pretty great job so far! I’ve spent way more time on AppleTV+ than Netflix over the last few months. Latest example: the finale of Severance was 🔥
