Covfefe come, covfefe go.

Hillary Clinton was the latest person on Twitter to use the word “covfefe,” created by Trump’s slippery fingers. It was mere hours after joking it was a Russian code word at the Code Conference.

Despite relentless criticism, Australian tennis great Margaret Court won’t stop in her tirade against LGBTQ people.

Apple’s answer to the Amazon Echo could be unveiled as early as June

The only thing Apple fans love more than new product rumors is actual new products. 

Well hold on to your butts, ’cause it looks like we’re getting both. 

The Cupertino-based company has reportedly started manufacturing its Siri-powered speaker aimed at dethroning the likes of the Amazon Echo and Google Home. But wait, there’s more: Apple is moving quickly and may unveil the new device as soon as the June WWDC.

TIL that Nintendo Switch is basically indestructible

YouTuber UnlockRiver.com drops expensive tech from great heights, just to see what happens. That’s the whole schtick for this channel. It’s great.

A Nintendo Switch was the latest victim and, astonishingly, it survived a 1000-foot plummet into an asphalt parking lot. The left Joy-Con controller ripped right off and shattered, but the console itself — screen and everything — seems just fine. 

Are you going to come across many situations in life where this might happen to you? No, probably not. But if it can withstand that, it can definitely hold up against the trials of everyday fumbles we’ve all been guilty of. Read more…

Even for LeBron James, ‘Being black in America is … it’s tough’

You can be LeBron James. You can be an all-time great at your profession, and a man idolized by millions. You can be a role model and a gentlemen and a champion and a millionaire many, many times over.

But you’re still a black man in America, and that can be tough.

This was illustrated to grotesque effect on Wednesday. A day before James and the Cleveland Cavaliers were set to take on the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, a racial slur was spray-painted on house James owns in Los Angeles.

Addressing reporters Wednesday afternoon, James appeared somber and clearly affected by the incident police were reportedly investigating as a hate crime. But he also addressed the bigger picture head-on.  Read more…
