I thought “there’s absolutely no way Apple won’t let you type Santa isn’t real.”
I…was wrong. What the actual
原来这么多年我用 iPhone 滑动打字老出错，不是因为手残，是苹果在后台搞暗箱操作 。。。。，
有人把 iOS 27.0 键盘底层的加密文件破译了（swipeblocked.com），扒出一份包含 4500 多个iPhone 自带键盘中隐藏的“屏蔽词组”黑名单。只要你用滑动输入（Swipe）触发这些词，键盘就会装傻乱跳词，甚至直接倒回去篡改你前面打好的字：
• 先打 Left wing 再滑 conspiracy -> 前面的 wing 会被强行改成 wrong
• 想滑 iMessage isn't working -> 直接拦截（只要滑不出，iMessage 就没坏🤡）
• 想滑 Santa isn't real -> 绝对不行（苹果誓死守护圣诞老人）
• 甚至极其双标：你可以丝滑打出 bad boy 和 I'm black，但滑 bad girl 和 I'm white 就会被系统偷偷拦下。
中文用户也没逃过——用拼音打出特定敏感词后，iOS 的「下一词联想栏」会原地罢工变空白。
手头有 iPhone 的快去试试滑一句 Santa isn't real，看看你的键盘会给你胡乱蹦出什么词？

recently i learned there are entire online communities dedicated to archiving those patterns inside of envelopes that exist to obscure the information, so when you hold it up to light, you can't read the contents. people even make art out of it (creds in alt text)

Stuff like "Salon" went under because if you want agitprop pumped into your veins in a real crackhead way, some goofy "article" is an inefficient mode of delivery no matter what words are used in it. You need to literally hear someone scream out in pain to get you feeling "political"

At least we still have Slate
Today, after 31 years, we are saddened to announce that Salon is ceasing publication. It has been an extraordinary privilege. salon.com/2026/11/05/goodbye…

If a gay guy is called “girl” colloquially and responds with something like “i’m not a girl.” then he is in fact capable of murder or great violence. On the other hand if he’s called bud/buddy and is not a little turned on he understands nothing of the psychology of homosexuality

The frequent use of “it’s not x, it’s y.“ in ChatGPT cadence is unfortunate because it often leads to straight up lies
“It’s not a rout, it’s a reckoning.” completely skips over the fact that Well yes it actually IS a rout. Like it can be both those things at once.
My thoughts on the Midterm Results:
My heart breaks for our country. Despite the best efforts by so many to support Republican candidates and call conservatives back to our principles, our Republican team suffered a historic defeat.
This midterm election wasn’t a rout, it was a reckoning. The American people have rejected our party’s shift toward economic populism, and our majorities in Congress and state legislatures and governorships across the country paid the price.
But like most people of faith, I’m an eternal optimist. I know that with God’s help, we can save our movement—and our country—again. We can return the Republican Party to the timeless principles that have led to our greatest successes and, more important, have made America strong, prosperous and free.
The conservative comeback starts today. Let’s get to work. 🇺🇸

If you have a humanities degree you can dabble in all kinds of chud behaviors and people will assume you're doing it ironically or in an ultra-reflective way that makes it woke again

When stuff like Vice Motherboard and Gawker went tits up, I felt a kind of “haha” schadenfreude because my disagreements with those people are so fresh, but with Salon, I can’t muster it. It would feel like when some 95 year old Republican dies and all the leftists do their “Rest in PISS, bitch!” act. No juice.
