Okay, that is a lot. Excited for my next at Google, proud of The Verge, grateful for so much. See you all when I see you. I forgot the pun. That’s okay, it’s Friday after all, and I have tabs to close.

And thank you to everybody who’s read, tweeted, watched, listened, liked, and subscribed. I’ve always felt a genuine kinship with our audience – “audience” is too passive a word. You are my people, and I will miss you.

There are far, far too many people I’m grateful to have worked with over the years. I could heap effusive praise on everybody from The Verge past and present, but I’m already outstaying my Personal News Tweetstorm welcome here, so will keep it short.

The high-end Android phone of choice in the US is still really good, even with some battery troubles. I also really like the green color on the S22 and I wasn't expecting that at all ??

Samsung’s Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus are the default Android phones to buy

Oh this looks GREAT! I used to live on 14th St. in Oakland and the stretch between Lake Merritt and 980 was always hairy for bikes. Oscar Grant Plaza especially should be designed for humans, not just cars. Good overview by

Matt Reeves’ The Batman is both the Dark Knight at his most copagandistic and his most inert as an on-screen presence. He has a very cool car, though. My review:
