I hate to admit it, but Threads is funny, sometimes.
Screenshot of a Threads post in dark mode by user heyitssones in the wicker topic, posted 5 hours ago. The post reads: “It will be a HUGE missed opportunity if IKEA doesn’t release a spring ’27 indoor/outdoor wicker chair called the SKARSGÅRD.” The joke references the Swedish archipelago, Skärgård, as a fitting IKEA-style product name. The post has approximately 10.3K likes, 70 replies, 389 reposts, and 818 shares.

I wish iOS notifications were more granular but there are some that I don't want to turn off outright, but setting "Show Previews" to "Never" helps stop apps pumping noise into your brain.
Screenshot of the iPhone Notifications settings page for an app in dark mode. Notifications are enabled. Under “Notification Delivery,” “Scheduled Summary” is selected with delivery at 9 PM, while “Immediate Delivery” is unselected. “Badges” is enabled. Under “Lock Screen Appearance,” “Show Previews” is set to “Never,” “Notification Grouping” is set to “Automatic,” and “Prioritize Notifications” is enabled.

😂 Google AI Overview is undefeated.
Screenshot of a Google search results page in dark mode for the word “analytically.” The search bar at the top contains “analytically,” with tabs for AI Mode, All, Images, Shopping, News, and Maps. An AI Overview card defines “analytically,” with part of the text highlighted in blue: “examining or understanding something in detail by breaking it down into its core components and applying logical, methodical reasoning.” A small video thumbnail of a man in a cap appears to the right, and a “Show more” button appears below.

The post reads: “Here’s one I haven’t shared because it wasn’t easily explained [on an older platform]: Guy walks up to me as I was sitting at a gate waiting for my flight to board. him: ‘you look just like Tony Hawk’ me: I’ve heard that before. him: ‘so crazy!’ (walks away laughing to himself, then sits nearby) A family soon approaches & asks to take a picture with me. My new friend starts giggling because he thinks they’ve been duped. him (now concerned): ‘you should really tell them that you’re not Tony Hawk’.” Engagement icons and counts appear below the post.

A Canadian hockey player in a red jersey (#29) shoots the puck toward the net while a U.S. goalie in white, blue, and red (#37) kneels in the crease. In front of the goal, a superimposed image of Canadian curler Marc Kennedy is shown crouched and reaching forward as if sweeping or touching the puck, creating a meme that references the recent Olympic controversy in which he was accused of illegally touching a curling stone.

Screenshot of a social media post by user “randderuiter,” posted 2 hours ago. The post reads: “My 2024 prediction: Threads will surpass Twitter in users/usage in 2026… Turns out I was wrong. They achieved it in Q4 last year,” followed by a pointing-down emoji. Below the text is a line chart from Similarweb titled “Threads and X – Daily Active Users, iOS and Android, Worldwide.” The chart shows two lines over time from September 2024 to October 2025: a blue line for Threads steadily rising from roughly 80 million to about 130 million daily active users, and an orange line for X (formerly Twitter) gradually declining from around 150 million to about 125–130 million. The lines cross around Q4 2024, indicating Threads surpassing X. At the bottom of the post are engagement icons showing 70 likes, 5 comments, 9 reshares, and 3 sends.

A better view. Blue Mountain, Ontario. 🇨🇦
A wide view from the top of a snow-covered ski slope overlooking a small town. A lodge and parking area sit at the base of the hill, with scattered skiers visible on the slope. Dark, heavy clouds stretch across the sky, and a large body of water is visible on the horizon beyond the town, creating a moody winter landscape.
