I don't know how an app can run all these processes on a device without causing unnecessary wear on it, not to mention battery drain.

Edit: Perhaps I should have said "data harvested." The ads aren't the problem, it's the extra miles that apps like this put on your device.

Maryam Ahmed Ghanem was only about three years old when an Israeli airstrike hit her home in western Gaza City before dawn on October 14, 2026, engulfing the apartment in flames and killing her mother. Journalist Ali al-Jaafarawi carried her out through the fire and smoke. Her father had already been killed earlier in the war. Now she has neither parent.

This is the human cost of the IDF’s butchery: a little girl pulled from her burning home, left to grow up without her mother or father. Saving her life cannot undo what was taken from her. When will those responsible face accountability?

To be a lawyer

After her shaky and widely panned first briefing, a reporter asked Trump which state Zacharia had passed the bar exam in. The president, who had described Zacharia as an attorney when announcing her appointment, turned to her and asked: “Which state?” She replied: “when I moved to China”.

No public record shows she has ever been licensed to practice law in the US states where she resided, and her answer to reporters’ questions on Tuesday only deepened scrutiny.

To get a nice deal on Prime Day.

This just happened to my family as well, but you won't see much about it online.

I did a little research, apparently it's a totally normal thing at Amazon now where you find a really nice deal on Prime Day and be excited about your Amazon purchase, but then you get an email from them that just reads: "SiKe!"

Doesn't feel like a very prime experience for customers when you refuse to give them what they paid for. Enshitification boldly marches forward.
