Where’s the Trump phone? We’re going to keep talking about it every week. We’ve reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone’s whereabouts. This time, surprisingly, we received a response – and an interview. The Trump phone is real – maybe, sort of, soon? – and I’ve seen it. Not in the flesh, […]
300 journalists have lost their jobs at The Washington Post. Over 300,000 readers have canceled their subscriptions.

Last December it introduced several transparent versions of the Analogue 3D inspired by Nintendo’s Funtastic N64 series, but this time the company says it drew inspiration from colored versions of the nearly 30-year-old console that Nintendo prototyped, but never […]
There are bold-faced tech names all over the Epstein files. Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, Reid Hoffman, Steven Sinofsky, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, on and on and on.
