So after tweeting last week that iPhone 13 seemed disappointing and I wasn’t gonna get it, a bunch of people kept telling me the jump from 60 to 120 Hz was actually a big deal. So I went to the store and checked one out and caved and upgraded. Turns out 60 > 120 Hz is almost…
…as big a difference as non-retina > retina display. Just immediately made my old screen feel a decade old. Scrolling at 120 Hz is silky smooth and looks to the eye like you’re pushing a physical object around…
People who don’t find new tech gadgets to be sexually attractive should probably ignore me and not bother upgrading but for those who do, you might want to bite the bullet and go for it.
I also changed things up and went for the big phone. On one hand, it's an extremely dumb phone. You're constantly holding your phone with one hand and it's a terrible one-handed device. On the other hand, you get to have an iPad Mini Mini as your phone, which is kind of awesome.

Politics is like chess. Being in the center of the board, with mainstream positions, is a strong strategic position.
People, politicians, factions, and movements whose pieces are out on the corner of the board have three options:
1/4
1) Stand firm on your positions, and try to change enough minds that the chess board moves towards you, until your pieces are in the center
2) Compromise on your positions and move your pieces closer to the center of the board
2/4
3) Start moving your pawns like knights and your bishops like queens and see if you can get away with it
When a person or group is doing #3, the particulars of their stances are irrelevant. Everyone abiding by basic liberal rules should unite against the cheater.
3/4
