Apple: No Wonder, No Lust

The company’s worst keynote event in a decade — This article was originally published on my Substack, Trend Mill. It was nothing if true to form. Flashy visuals. Slick product reels. The “Apple hands.” Robotic presentations with so little charisma it’s impossible to tell if they are now AI-generated. And, of course, new iterations of products that are, well…

The Tech Elite’s “Utopian” Dream

Welcome to “California Forever” (if you’re rich enough) — This article was originally published on my Substack, Trend Mill. In the film Don’t Look Up, which depicts the impending end of humanity at the hands of a giant comet, a Zuckerbergian-esque tech overlord is adamant he has the solution. And, much like IRL, everyone eats that shit up, putting…

McDonald’s Faces a Milk-Shakedown

The fight for the right to repair the McFlurry machine — This article was originally published on my Substack, Trend Mill. McDonald’s McFlurry machine is famous for great ice cream. It’s equally famous for never being able to serve said ice cream. The machine is out-of-order so frequently that it’s become a long-running joke (read: big customer bugbear). Even the company…

The App Library Is the iPhone’s Most Underrated Productivity Hack

Free yourself from digital mess — Follow my Substack, Trend Mill. Digital decluttering is a self-help must-do and one that, for the most part, I’ve failed miserably at. I’m the kind of person whose computer desktop is the digital equivalent of picking up a stack of papers and throwing them everywhere. I regularly waste time scrambling…

WeWork, WeBroke, WeOver.

The sorry end to the WeWork story draws near — This article was originally published on my Substack, Trend Mill. Hollywood would have you believe the best things come in threes. That’s why it’s obsessed with making everything and anything a trilogy. In some ways, it’s the perfect way to tell the story of WeWork. Act 1 is the departure…

The Attention Economy Mind Rot

Ice cream so good! — Balloon! Pop pop pop pop pop. Just when you think the depths of the internet can’t sink any lower, you’re reminded that we’ve got a long way to go until we hit rock bottom. The latest viral trend to surface on TikTok — which could be the most braindead yet (and yes, I’m aware people ate…

How to Achieve Greatness By Being Mediocre Every Day

Build a “better than nothing” habit — In the last few years — and especially during the never-ending pandemic lockdowns — I’ve tried to form a whole host of new habits: running, baking, and even learning card tricks to dazzle my nieces. Each of these pursuits started strong — until I gave up shortly thereafter. I headed…

X Marks the Stop

The end of the line for the iconic blue bird — The rebrand of HBO to MAX is the worst rebrand in recent times. Elon Musk, sitting on the toilet, scrolling Twitter at 3 am: Hold my beer. Honestly, I’m a little tired of writing about the bird app. Stop writing about it then! I hear you gasp. But every week…
