When I started writing about Supreme Court expansion, you couldn’t get the question *asked* in a poll. The first time I saw it actually polled, it was 8%. Now, we here.

Kind of a buried lede in the results of this Supreme Court approval rating poll from Marquette: Overall support for Supreme Court expansion, which even Democratic politicians were dismissing as "radical" just a few years ago, is now at 53 percent today.marquette.edu/2026/09/marq...

Proposal	Favor or oppose
Favor	Oppose
Enforce strict ethics code for justices	89	10
Limited terms for justices	79	21
Increase number of justices	53	47

I haven’t personally experienced it, but I’ve sure experienced it in non-EVs. It makes perfect sense: some people are not smooth drivers, and EVs enable that tendency to an even higher degree due to their massive low-end torque.

Squatting?! I’m using it!

LG G6 or Sony Bravia 8 II. For a cheaper option, try the LG C6.

I keep seeing this Semafor graph that seems to show the Trump administration’s effect on international visits is comparable to the pandemic. My first thought was “that can’t be true” and indeed it is not. This is monthly data. We only have to Jun/Aug 2026. The lines are over-fitted to the months.

Semafor graph with catastrophic drops.

The Apple Watch's upcoming Live Rewind and Siri Recap features, some (strong) feelings about CarPlay, and the solutions to all of John's problems.

Maybe 6% when you catch up to my cycle count!

Impressions of our new Apple hardware so far, plans for iPhone Duo development, and an update on the Mac Mini fleet.

Putting magnets near electrical cables seems like a really bad idea to me.

@siracusa.socialSep 21, 2026, 12:45 AM

Sports cars do the same thing. (Or so I’m told.)

…and my recommendation is to subscribe and then stay subscribed forever 🙃

Just don’t log in to one of your covered Macs with an Apple ID that is not part of your covered family of Apple IDs, because then Apple will very likely boot that Mac off the plan.

@siracusa.socialSep 19, 2026, 3:37 AM

At this point, I’d take “John’s iPhone 16 (2)”
