Tim Cook is basically saying it’s time to go touch grass During a recent interview with Good Morning America, #TimCook emphasized why it’s important to stay connected to real life beyond your screen “I don’t want people using them too much,” he said about Apple’s smartphones. “I don’t want people looking at the smartphone more than they’re looking in someone’s eyes; as if they’re scrolling endlessly,” he said. “This is not how you want to spend your day. Go out and spend it in nature.” How do y’all feel about this?

Kevin Hart will take center stage for Netflix’s next live roast, wrapping up the Netflix Is a Joke Fest. Set for May 10 at the Kia Forum, the event will be hosted by Shane Gillis, with Hart also on board as an executive producer alongside Jeff Ross. This comes after the major success of Netflix’s Tom Brady roast, which pulled strong numbers and showed that live comedy specials can be a big win for the platform.

A fresh leak claims LEGO is getting ready to drop a PlayStation 1 console set for the 2026 holiday season. A trusted voice in the LEGO community says the build will recreate the original PS1, include at least one controller, and come in at around 1,900 pieces with a price near $159.99. It’s expected to be smaller than past gaming collabs like the NES and Atari 2600, but still priced in line with LEGO’s premium 18+ sets. No official details on features yet, though fans are already guessing it could include interactive touches like a working disc tray. LEGO hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but if this turns out to be real, it could easily be one of the biggest holiday drops and possibly the start of a larger PlayStation partnership.

Happy Birthday to the comedic genius Keegan-Michael Key! From classic Key & Peele sketches to stealing scenes in everything from “Keanu” to “Schmigadoon!,” this man keeps us laughing. Wishing him a day as iconic as “Luther the Anger Translator”!
