Though I still have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and use it occasionally, I mainly rely on my Android phone daily. I generally prefer Android over iOS, but to fully enjoy Android’s benefits, high-end phones are often the best.

After being an iPhone user for 13 years…decided to switch to Android for good

I saw The Devil Wears Prada years ago, but with a sequel on the way, I was curious if it’s based on a true story. While technically fiction, it’s a thinly veiled look at Lauren Weisberger’s tenure at Vogue. Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly is the cinematic ghost of Anna Wintour—right down to the high-fashion armor.

As Streep noted regarding the character’s relentless drive:

“I wanted to take on the burden of being the one who has to make everything ‘perfect’ and the price that woman pays for that.”

Legendary satire.

For fun, I check my horoscope once in a while… I am a Virgo. Here it goes:

Virgo

  • Your Card: The Star
  • Your Word: Self-Love

You’re on top of the world this year, Virgo, and it’s time to let your light shine! You’re used to being the one in the background, doing all the hard work behind the scenes to make everyone else happy. This year, you’re ready to step into the spotlight and take care of yourself first for once. Remember that self-care is not selfish, and learning to love yourself is one of the most important lessons in life.

TIL the 1831 London Bridge was moved to Arizona! Built to replace the crumbling medieval bridge, it eventually started sinking itself and was sold in 1968. Having seen the modern replacement in London in 2018, it’s wild to think the “original” stones are now in the US!

I am in awe that people still race Penny Farthings. Every year—including this past February 2026. On purpose. The thing has a giant front wheel, no real brakes, and if you hit a rough patch, you’re going headfirst over the bars — they actually call that a “header.” The World Championship course in Eastbourne is nearly 3 miles uphill. One gear. No brakes. Riders show up in full Victorian kit like it’s totally normal.

The art of riding a high-wheeler is the art of falling gracefully.

I was using my iPhone 12 Max and found copying and pasting difficult when I needed to use three or more items. On Android, it’s easier because I can access copy history and paste five or six items when I needed them. I’m glad I have an Android; without it, I would find it frustrating.

It’s disgusting that Trump is showing kids that video of himself after getting shot at a rally during the election season at Easter. What kind of man does that? shaking my head

Ever wonder why every hotel drawer has a Bible? It started in 1899 when two traveling salesmen shared a room and realized weary travelers needed comfort. By 1908, their group, the Gideons, began placing them worldwide. Check out more wild history facts here.

Rustic Outdoor Tub

If I ever have a spacious home, this is the vibe I’m going for. A copper tub and wood-burning stove are pure magic! Imagine soaking here while looking out at the woods—it’s the ultimate rustic dream. This level of cozy tranquility is needed.
