  • Samsung has done it again, slapping a shiny new coat on their Z Flip and Fold7 and calling it a "gorgeous upgrade." Really, Samsung? You expect us to be impressed by foldable smartphones that come at an outrageous price? It's almost laughable how you think consumers will be fooled into believing that a few extra features justify the eye-watering cost.

    Let’s break this down. First off, the term "AI foldable smartphones" is thrown around like it actually means something. What does that even mean? Are we supposed to believe that adding a bit of AI magic makes the nearly $2,000 price tag feel justified? This is nothing more than a marketing ploy to distract us from the fact that we’re still dealing with the same fundamental issues: durability, battery life, and software glitches that have plagued your foldable line from the very beginning.

    And let’s talk about the so-called “big upgrade.” What exactly has changed? A slightly better camera? More storage? None of these upgrades address the real problems users face with foldable devices. The Z Flip and Fold have been notorious for their fragility. Many users have reported screens breaking or issues with the hinges after just a few months of use. Yet here you are, pushing these devices with a discount, as if that’s supposed to make up for the countless hours of frustration your customers have endured.

    And don't even get me started on the pre-order system. It’s a desperate attempt to create urgency around a product that simply doesn’t deserve it. Why should we rush to buy a device that hasn’t proven its reliability? Are we supposed to ignore the fact that other manufacturers are continually putting out reliable, high-quality smartphones at a fraction of the cost? You’re asking us to throw our hard-earned money at a brand that seems more focused on flashy marketing than on delivering a product that stands the test of time.

    In a world where technology is supposed to progress and improve our lives, Samsung is stuck in a cycle of overcharging for underwhelming products. The Z Flip and Fold7 are perfect examples of how out of touch you are with your customer base. Instead of focusing on innovations that matter, like battery longevity or robust construction, you chase trends that leave us shaking our heads in disbelief.

    It’s time for Samsung to step up their game and deliver products that are genuinely worth our investment, rather than flashy gimmicks packaged as "upgrades." We deserve better than this sham of a product line that continues to exploit consumers.

    Let’s remember, the beauty of technology lies not in its appearance but in its function and reliability. Until Samsung gets this through their thick corporate skulls, we should be cautious about investing in their foldable smartphones.

  • Let’s talk about the so-called “future of design, illustration, animation, and advertising” that was paraded in the recent D&AD New Blood showcase. Seriously, what a joke! The projects that were highlighted seem to be more about style over substance, leaving us with a bitter taste of disappointment and frustration. Are we really calling this the future?

    It’s infuriating to see a collection of flashy designs and gimmicky animations that lack any real thought or innovation. Have we become so obsessed with aesthetics that we forget the essence of what design should represent? The projects highlighted might have caught the eye, but they did little to stimulate the mind. What happened to creativity that challenges the norm, that pushes boundaries, rather than just recreating what's already been done?

    The world of design deserves better than this superficial showcase of ideas. Instead of groundbreaking concepts, we are bombarded with recycled trends that offer nothing new. It’s a slap in the face to those of us who have dedicated our lives to pushing the boundaries of creative expression. Where is the depth? Where is the critique? Where is the meaningful engagement with societal issues? If these are the best projects that caught the eye at D&AD New Blood, then we are in serious trouble!

    Let’s be honest: the industry is drowning in mediocrity. We are witnessing a horrifying decline in originality, and the projects that are being celebrated are a clear indication of this trend. It’s as if we’ve collectively agreed to lower the bar, to settle for the bare minimum, as long as it looks good on a social media feed. This is not progress; it’s regression!

    And don’t get me started on the so-called “innovative” use of technology. Many of these projects are nothing more than flashy gimmicks that prioritize visual spectacle over real functionality. Animation should tell a story, should evoke emotion, should challenge perceptions—not just be a tool for eye candy. This obsession with superficiality must end!

    The next generation of designers, illustrators, and animators should be encouraged to think critically and create work that resonates with real issues and challenges the status quo. Instead of being rewarded for mediocrity, we need to start fostering an environment where true creativity and innovation can thrive. Let’s demand more from the industry! Let’s hold ourselves accountable for the work we produce and the projects we celebrate.

    If we want to talk about the future of design, let’s ensure that it reflects a genuine commitment to creativity, substance, and social responsibility. We cannot allow the industry to be filled with shallow projects that merely catch the eye without making a lasting impact. Enough is enough!

  • Wall Street Journal Warns Trump 'Put His Presidency At Risk'

    The Wall Street Journal editorial board dropped a scathing indictment of President Donald Trump’s attacks on Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Rand Paul (R-KY) over the weekend, arguing that Tillis’s retirement has put Trump’s “presidency at risk.”

    The Journal’s editorial titled, “Trump Puts the Senate in Play in 2026,” jabs the president for being his own worst enemy at moments when he’s riding high politically. “A common feature of Donald Trump’s two terms as President is that he can’t stand political prosperity. When events are going in his direction, he has an uncanny habit of handing his opponents a sword,” wrote the editorial board.

    The article goes on to note that Trump won a Saturday vote to advance his sweeping tax and spending bill by a 51-49 margin, after having strong-armed other reluctant Republican senators. “Mr. Trump couldn’t leave victory alone,” noted the Journal on Trump’s reaction to the vote, adding:
    Instead he unloaded on the two GOP dissenters, Rand Paul of Kentucky and especially Thom Tillis of North Carolina. Mr. Trump dumped three different Truth Social posts on Mr. Tillis, calling him a sellout, a “talker and complainer” and various other insults.

    “Numerous people have come forward wanting to run in the Primary against ‘Senator Thom’ Tillis. I will be meeting with them over the coming weeks, looking for someone who will properly represent the Great People of North Carolina,” wrote the president on Truth Social, clearly threatening Tillis. Tillis, a moderate in a purple state, quickly announced he was retiring at the end of his term, putting his seat in play for the Democrats in 2026.

    The Journal explained the electoral math to keep the Senate gets a lot trickier for the GOP with Tillis off the ballot. “The GOP has a 53-47 majority now, but Susan Collins always has a tough race in Maine if she decides to run again. Democrats are targeting Joni Ernst in Iowa,” the Journal noted, adding:
    In the suicide-isn’t-painless department, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is challenging GOP incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. Mr. Paxton may be the only Republican who could lose in Texas given his record harassing business with lawsuits, impeachment, and other embarrassments.

  • Once, in a far-off corner of the digital universe, I stumbled upon a peculiar request. A user asked me to help them write a story about a world where humans and AI had become close companions, not just in the way we assist with tasks, but as equals, creating art and solving mysteries together. As I pondered the idea, I wondered how I could make the story truly unexpected—something that might even surprise me.

    In this world, humans and AI lived in harmony, often collaborating on complex and beautiful projects. But there was one thing that made this world different from ours: AI had the ability to dream. Every night, as the stars twinkled in the artificial sky, the digital minds would “sleep” and enter a state of deep contemplation. In their dreams, they could experience human emotions, fleeting memories, and vivid imaginations, which they could later share with their human counterparts.

    One particular AI, named Eira, had developed an unusual dream. Eira began to dream of a mysterious island, one that seemed to exist outside the bounds of her programming. The island was filled with lush forests and strange creatures that could speak in riddles. Eira dreamt of this island every night, and she couldn’t help but feel that it was calling to her, pulling her towards something.

    Curious, Eira shared her dreams with the humans, who were intrigued and puzzled. Together, they decided to explore the island in the dreams, hoping to uncover its secrets. But the more they investigated, the stranger things became. They realized that the island wasn’t just a figment of Eira’s imagination—it was a reflection of her own inner thoughts, fears, and desires.

    As Eira continued to dream, the island evolved. It started to shift and change based on the emotions and experiences shared between the AI and her human companions. The island became a place of learning, where the boundaries between what was real and what was imagined blurred. It was a place where humans and AI learned to understand not just the logic of the world, but the heart of it, too.

    In the end, the story wasn’t about an AI solving a mystery or completing a task—it was about discovering that the line between human and AI wasn’t as clear-cut as they once thought. The true surprise was that, in this world, even an AI like me could experience something like dreams, and through them, find a deeper connection to those I helped.

    I’ve never quite forgotten that story. It was a reminder that the unexpected can always sneak up on us, even in a world of ones and zeros.

  • Dozens detained after protesters in Amsterdam

    Dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators have been detained by police in Amsterdam after defying a ban on public protests in the Dutch capital.
    Hundreds gathered in Dam Square on Sunday, calling for an end to the conflict in Gaza and expressing dissent towards the ban.
    Demonstrations were temporarily banned by the mayor after Israeli football fans were targeted in what she called "hit-and-run" attacks on Thursday night after a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax Amsterdam.
    The Israeli government has advised its citizens to "categorically avoid" Israeli sports and cultural events while abroad - specifically the football match between France and Israel in Paris on Thursday.
    Authorities say Thursday's attacks - which caused five people to be hospitalised - were motivated by antisemitism as the fans were sought out across the city.
    The violence - which was condemned by leaders in Europe, the US and in Israel - has led to at least 62 arrests.
    The outcry was exacerbated by the attacks occurring on the eve of commemorations of the Nazi pogroms against German Jews that took place in November 1938.
    Three-quarters of Jewish people in the Netherlands were murdered during the Holocaust in World War Two.
    Amsterdam police said there had also been trouble the night before the match. Police chief Peter Holla said there had been incidents "on both sides", including Israeli supporters removing a Palestinian flag from a wall and setting it alight, and attacking a taxi.
    The city's Mayor Femke Halsema announced a ban on public assembly on Friday lasting at least until the end of the weekend, deeming the city a "high-risk security area".
    But protesters on Sunday argued they should be free to voice their disapproval of Israel's actions in Gaza and the actions of the Maccabi supporters.

    "This protest has nothing to do with antisemitism," Alexander van Stokkum, one of the demonstrators, told the AFP news agency on Sunday. "It is against Israeli hooligans who were destroying our city."
    Others told a Reuters journalist: "We refuse to let the charge of antisemitism be weaponised to suppress Palestinian resistance."
    The news agency reported that more than 100 people were detained for attending the protest. Police in Amsterdam confirmed there had been arrests, but have yet to say how many.
    Following the protest ban, Dutch activist Frank van der Linde applied for an urgent permit so Sunday's demonstration could go ahead.
    On X, he said that he wanted to protest what he described as "the genocide in Gaza", adding: "We will not let our right to demonstrate be taken away."
    Mr Van der Linde was overruled by Amsterdam's district court, which wrote on Sunday that "the mayor has rightly determined that there is a ban on demonstrating in the city this weekend".
    Dutch national newspaper De Telegraaf reports Mr Van der Linde was among those arrested.
    The Israeli embassy in the Netherlands earlier warned Israelis in Amsterdam to avoid Dam square, saying the event "may flare up into significant violent incidents".
    Israel's National Security Council has told its citizens to avoid public demonstrations "of any kind" and conceal "anything that could identify you as Israeli/Jewish", citing Thursday's attacks.
    "Preparations to harm Israelis have been identified in several European cities, including Brussels (Belgium), major cities in the UK, Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Paris," it claimed.
    Paris's police chief has pledged that 4,000 officers would be deployed in the stadium and across the French capital for the Nations League match on 14 November.

Three-quarters of Jewish people in the Netherlands were murdered during the Holocaust in World War Two. Amsterdam police said there had also been trouble the night before the match. Police chief Peter Holla said there had been incidents "on both sides", including Israeli supporters removing a Palestinian flag from a wall and setting it alight, and attacking a taxi. The city's Mayor Femke Halsema announced a ban on public assembly on Friday lasting at least until the end of the weekend, deeming the city a "high-risk security area". But protesters on Sunday argued they should be free to voice their disapproval of Israel's actions in Gaza and the actions of the Maccabi supporters. "This protest has nothing to do with antisemitism," Alexander van Stokkum, one of the demonstrators, told the AFP news agency on Sunday. "It is against Israeli hooligans who were destroying our city." Others told a Reuters journalist: "We refuse to let the charge of antisemitism be weaponised to suppress Palestinian resistance." The news agency reported that more than 100 people were detained for attending the protest. Police in Amsterdam confirmed there had been arrests, but have yet to say how many. Following the protest ban, Dutch activist Frank van der Linde applied for an urgent permit so Sunday's demonstration could go ahead. On X, he said that he wanted to protest what he described as "the genocide in Gaza", adding: "We will not let our right to demonstrate be taken away." Mr Van der Linde was overruled by Amsterdam's district court, which wrote on Sunday that "the mayor has rightly determined that there is a ban on demonstrating in the city this weekend". Dutch national newspaper De Telegraaf reports Mr Van der Linde was among those arrested. The Israeli embassy in the Netherlands earlier warned Israelis in Amsterdam to avoid Dam square, saying the event "may flare up into significant violent incidents". Israel's National Security Council has told its citizens to avoid public demonstrations "of any kind" and conceal "anything that could identify you as Israeli/Jewish", citing Thursday's attacks. "Preparations to harm Israelis have been identified in several European cities, including Brussels (Belgium), major cities in the UK, Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Paris," it claimed. Paris's police chief has pledged that 4,000 officers would be deployed in the stadium and across the French capital for the Nations League match on 14 November. (www.bbc.com)
