Do you like The Polar Express?
Haters, come at me -- I come from a Polar-Express-stanning household, and unironically, too. It's a beloved film reserved for Christmas Eve every single year, and the uncanny-valley characters are anything but lifeless in my eyes. Years down the road after acquiring an English degree, I've picked apart everything there is to know about the masterpiece movie, from the lack of names to Tom Hanks hiding in every possible corner of every frame. What is it about The Polar Express do people dislike? The forgotten toy train car scene is universally hated -- I know I got nightmares at least one year from it -- but for the time, I felt like it was peak animation. The memes from Travis Scott resemblances to stitching in the Tokyo Drift audio over the frozen lake scene are fantastic, and no one can argue with that.

Have you enabled the new menu bar weather widget on your Mac?
Apple recently pushed out macOS 15.2 Sequoia to eligible Mac computers, and the talk of the town has been all the new AI-powered Apple Intelligence features within the release. A new Image Playground app for on-device generative image creation, enhancements to the Writing Tools feature, and deeper system-level ChatGPT integration are among the most notable new inclusions. Slipped in alongside this AI grab basket, however, is a feature Apple didn't advertise or hype up: a new weather widget within the macOS Menu Bar area. The feature is disabled by default, but it can be easily toggled on via the Control Center section of System Settings. Once enabled, a small glyph icon is added to your Menu Bar, along with an up-to-date temperature ticker. Clicking on it expands out a full-sized weather widget, with forecasting details, temperatures in various regions, and quick access to launch the full Weather application. Given that a weather widget isn't as marketable as AI-powered software fe
Are there too many year-end wrap ups now?
Thanks to the unexpected popularity of Spotify Wrapped, it seems like every major subscription service is getting in on the year-end wrap up trend, from YouTube to Nintendo. Earlier today, streaming service Max decided to get in on the fun with their own annual recap, which was, frankly, very underwhelming. You can read more about the Max recap at the link and when you're done we'd love to hear what you think: are you still into these annual year-end recaps, or are you over this trend? And how many year-end wrap-ups are too many?
