I'm About to Go on a Date With a New Woman. I Know Something About Her--and She Doesn't Know I Know.
Unhinged I'm About to Go on a Date With a New Woman. I Know Something About Her--and She Doesn't Know I Know. I don't want to scare her away. I'm not sure what the proper etiquette is for acknowledging that you've recognized a mildly famous person when you match with them on a dating app. This is now the third time this has happened to me.

Here's what Apple's Siri overhaul for iOS 27 could look like
Here's what Apple's Siri overhaul for iOS 27 could look like Here's what Apple's Siri overhaul for iOS 27 could look like Apple is reportedly redesigning the iPhone's interface around the new Siri. After nearly two years of delays and a $250 million settlement along the way, Apple is preparing to reintroduce the new Siri at WWDC 2026 . Mark Gurman has published an early preview of the update with illustrations that provide a glimpse of how Apple has redesigned the iPhone's interface to put the Gemini-powered AI agent front and center. The company often tests multiple designs of features internally, and the final version set to be introduced to the public in June could differ, Gurman warns, before stating Apple could release the new Siri as early as this September. As you can see from the illustrations shared, Siri will now live inside the iPhone's dynamic island.
Google updates Gemini for Home with AI-powered camera automations
Gemini can trigger smart home routines based on what your cameras see. Google is updating Gemini for Home, the version of its AI assistant for smart homes, with new camera-based automations, reliability improvements and an updated version of the Google Home app. Gemini for Home launched in early access in October 2025, and has replaced Google Assistant on Google's smart home cameras, speakers, doorbells and displays. At I/O 2026, Google expanded its Google Home Gemini built-in program to make it easier for companies to make compatible cameras and speakers. That focus on cameras wasn't a coincidence; the biggest change the company is rolling out now is the ability to use Gemini to create automations triggered by what your cameras see.
A Dating App Is Giving Away Free Gas to Convince People to Get Out of the House
Amid ongoing economic anxieties, BLK and other companies are giving away basic essentials to appeal to the public. While Gen Z catches a lot of flack for being single, or even antisocial, there's a brutal economic reality underscoring why some people aren't going out: They simply don't have the disposable income . Dating apps, already struggling to maintain user bases due to enshittification and a lack of quality matches, are contending with this affordability crisis. In a dystopian sign of the times, BLK, the app for Black singles, announced on Wednesday that it is giving away free gas in an attempt to incentivize people to go on dates. As part of the promotion, BLK is providing $500 gas gift cards to 10 people who download the app and tag three friends in the campaign post across its social channels.
Finally, a Great Free Radio App for Windows
Tune into live broadcasts from your Windows desktop with Trdo, a free and open-source application. I may be old-fashioned, but I prefer actual radio stations to Spotify's algorithms. The best human DJs find music I'd never seek out, and that even the best recommendation system would never point out to me. Even better: If you're good at finding community and public radio stations that appeal to your tastes, there are no commercials. I've found several of my favorite bands in the past few years listening to radio stations like KEXP, Indie XFM, and the various stations offered by SomaFM . It's simple to listen to such stations in your browser, but leaving a tab open just for the radio annoys me.
The Typo Vibe Shift
Toward the beginning of the 2002 film, a domineering lawyer (played by James Spader) barges into the office of his assistant (Maggie Gyllenhaal) with evidence of a work infraction: a memo she has written that has "three typing errors." "Do you know what this makes me look like to the people who receive these letters?" Setting aside that his screed turns out to be foreplay, Spader's character was channeling a widespread cultural revulsion: Typos were the ultimate shorthand for careless work. A spelling mistake was proof that the writer hadn't bothered putting much effort into a piece of correspondence, that their instructions or advice shouldn't be taken seriously--and perhaps that the recipient shouldn't invest time in reading their note at all. More than two decades later, as AI-generated writing has flooded workplaces, social media, and dating apps, old hallmarks of sloppiness--typos chief among them--are getting a new gloss. Some job applicants are intentionally adding typos to their cover letters to prove that they, and not an AI program, wrote them.
